Chapter 37: Hidden Dragon List

Pang Yue took out a spiritual pill and swallowed it, his aura fluctuating as his mana recovered.

He looked at Gao Chong and asked, "Do we still need to continue the third round?"

Three rounds, two wins.

In this battle between righteousness and evil, it was clear that evil had the upper hand.

Gao Chong's expression turned gloomy as he glanced at Gao Yan not far away, about to say something.

Suddenly, Xi Yueming's figure flashed and appeared in the arena.

"The third round, I'll take it."

This woman, with a gentle temperament like an orchid in a secluded valley, unexpectedly had a heroic and unyielding spirit, willing to die rather than yield.

Since she had already lost her life, she might as well take this opportunity to give it her all!

Pang Yue looked at Xi Yueming and said politely, "Fellow Daoist Xi, please."

Xi Yueming didn't waste any words either. With a wave of her delicate hand, a slender silver whip appeared in her hand.

She raised her hand and the silver whip turned into countless whip shadows, lashing towards Pang Yue.

This silver whip was hundreds of feet long, made entirely of pure silver, covered in patterns, and flickering with thunder, its power astonishing.

Rank Two Law Treasure, Silver Radiance Thunder Whip!

For a moment, within a radius of several miles, there was a sea of silver thunder, with dense lightning that seemed substantial, surging towards Pang Yue.

Pang Yue stepped on the Nether Bridge and lightly moved, shuttling through the void, leaving the range of the whip.

Then, he saw a white bone ring fly out of his hand, swelling in the wind, transforming into a skull several zhang in size, opening its mouth and spewing out azure blue flames towards Xi Yueming.

The Profound Abyss Ghostfire Ring!

This treasure was also one of the White Bone Demon Sect's sect-protecting inheritances.

The Profound Abyss Ghostfire was adept at burning the souls of cultivators. Once it touched someone, they would be neither dead nor alive, extremely poisonous.

Xi Yueming flicked her fair wrist, and the silver radiance thunder whip shattered the azure blue flames.

A gleaming white sword light danced and flickered among the whip shadows, appearing in front of Xi Yueming in the blink of an eye!

This sword light turned into hair-thin sword threads, carrying a fierce and murderous intent, and in Xi Yueming's astonished gaze, it suddenly wrapped around her delicate and fair neck!

In the next instant, Xi Yueming's head fell from her neck and shoulders.

The four Great Gold Cores of the Profound Sect couldn't bear to look directly at it, their faces filled with sorrow.

Xi Yueming's headless corpse emitted a faint light, and a Gold Core jumped out, turning into a dazzling golden light that exploded in mid-air!

She had already anticipated her defeat and chose to self-detonate her Gold Core!

Boom!

The might of the self-detonation of the Gold Core was earth-shattering.

The golden light was so intense that it replaced the scorching sun, leaving only this dazzling and bright light between heaven and earth.

The terrifying light carried the power to annihilate everything, spreading out.

Pang Yue was the first to bear the brunt!

He formed hand seals with both hands, and his body was surrounded by a brilliant glass-like light. The Divine Light of Separation and Regret formed a barrier, protecting his body.

Then, the Nether Bridge trembled lightly, piercing through the void and appearing a hundred zhang away from the core of the explosion.

After a long time, everything calmed down.

Pang Yue put away the Heavenly Book of Separation and Regret in the distance and turned back to the White Bone Dao Palace. His voice came faintly, "Everyone, considering the friendship between Pang and the Profound Sect in the past, let's end it here today. If we meet again in the future, don't blame me for going all out!"

...

One day later.

The news of the Seven Kills Demon Lord single-handedly fighting against the four Great Gold Cores of the Profound Sect spread like wildfire.

Xi Yueming, the elder of Azure Cloud Mountain's Gold Core, was beheaded by a sword. Before her death, she self-detonated her Gold Core, but she couldn't even harm her opponent in the slightest, causing people to sigh with regret.

At this point, there were only four elders left in Azure Cloud Mountain's Gold Core!

Since the Heavenly Demon Pill Banquet five years ago, both the righteous and demonic factions' strengths had once again undergone changes.

Half a year later.

The Seven Kills Demon Lord personally accompanied Gao Yan, the newly appointed elder of the White Bone Demon Sect's Gold Core, to visit the Netherworld Demon Sect and pay respects to the number one female cultivator in the demonic path, Ruan Lengshuang.

Gao Yan challenges the only Gold Core of the Netherworld Demon Sect, Ruan Lengshuang, and emerges victorious!

On that day, the Netherworld Demon Sect announced its merger with the White Bone Demon Sect.

Ruan Lengshuang also became one of the elders of the White Bone Demon Sect.

Five years later.

Xiong Ying of the White Bone Demon Sect refines her Law Weapon, the Bone Sky Shuttle, into a Rank One Law Treasure, and immediately advances to Gold Core, becoming the sixth Gold Core disciple in the sect.

The Demon Lord of Seven Kills holds a grand ceremony to celebrate her attainment of Gold Core.

During the ceremony, the Blood Demon Sect and the Sword Demon Sect express their desire to merge with the White Bone Demon Sect.

The Blood Demon Sect's elder, Old Man Xuehai, brings the sect's heritage as a gift and presents it to Xiong Ying, the Perfected Being.

The Sword Demon Sect's Gold Core disciples, Wu Gaonian and Ma Tianyi, relocate to the White Bone Dao Palace.

Overnight, the strength of the White Bone Demon Sect skyrockets!

With nine Gold Core elders, seven hundred Dao Foundation disciples, and ten thousand Qi Nourishing disciples, it has become the number one sect in the Xuyuan Land.

Behind all these changes is one person who cannot be separated from them.

It is rumored that the Demon Lord of Seven Kills is now hailed as the greatest cultivator in the demonic sect.

The Heavenly Book of Separation and Regret has also become the most precious treasure of the demonic sect!

These titles were all obtained through battles.

The White Bone Demon Sect dominates the southern region of the Xuyuan Land, and cultivators from other sects avoid its sharpness and retreat to the north.

The friction between the north and the south becomes increasingly intense, and the Qi Nourishing and Dao Foundation disciples of the demonic and orthodox sects frequently fight, resulting in numerous casualties.

In the end, the situation escalates.

Elder Cao Hongxiu of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, together with Elder Peng Haoyuan of the Hundred Refinements Sect, kills the elder of the White Bone Demon Sect, Shen Lun, in a joint effort!

The Demon Lord of Seven Kills is furious and personally pursues and kills the two, beheading Peng Haoyuan with his sword.

Although Cao Hongxiu manages to escape back to the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, she is blocked by the Demon Lord of Seven Kills outside the sect's dojo.

The Divine Light of Separation and Regret, spanning ten thousand zhang, surrounds the Ten Thousand Flower Valley for a whole year!

For three years, the Ten Thousand Flower Valley tries every means but fails to break through the Divine Light of Separation and Regret, resulting in the loss of one Gold Core elder and dozens of Dao Foundation disciples.

The Gold Core experts from Cloud Heaven Sect, Azure Cloud Mountain, Hundred Refinements Sect, and Earth Treasury Temple come to help, but they are all repelled by the Demon Lord of Seven Kills.

In the end, Cao Hongxiu emerges from the Ten Thousand Demon Valley and pleads guilty.

Outside the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, the Demon Lord of Seven Kills sets up a luxurious palace and keeps Cao Hongxiu, a charming and beautiful female cultivator...

When the Demon Lord of Seven Kills leaves, Cao Hongxiu's cultivation has fallen below Gold Core, barely maintaining her Dao Foundation cultivation, and her future is ruined.

Shortly after, the Demon Lord of Seven Kills quietly breaks through to the mid-Gold Core stage.

Afterwards, the five major sects reluctantly form an anti-demonic alliance, sharing their cultivation techniques and resources, and making every effort to cultivate a few Gold Core disciples to resist the demonic sect's dominance.

...

Time flies like a song.

A hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

A hundred years may be the time it takes for a Gold Core cultivator to go into seclusion once.

But it is enough time for several generations of young cultivators in the cultivation world to change.

The story of the Demon Lord of Seven Kills has become a legend.

In today's cultivation world, the most famous cultivators are not those elusive Gold Core cultivators, but the Dao Foundation cultivators listed on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!

Ten years ago, a mysterious sect called the Silent Sect appeared in the cultivation world.

The disciples of this sect are skilled in concealment, disguising themselves as various independent cultivators, traveling through major cities to gather information about the cultivation world.

Every three years, the Silent Sect releases a Hidden Dragon Ranking.

The ranking consists of one hundred cultivators.

These one hundred cultivators are the strongest in the Dao Foundation realm.

Among them, the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are revered as the top ten Dao Foundation cultivators in the world!

The Silent Sect once declared that the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking all possess the appearance of a Gold Core cultivator!

In the current Hidden Dragon Ranking, three disciples of the White Bone Demon Sect occupy three spots.

The anti-demonic alliance occupies three spots.

The overseas Monster Race occupies two spots.

The prestigious cultivation families occupy one spot.

Independent cultivators occupy one spot.

The person at the top of the top ten Dao Foundation cultivators is a stunningly beautiful female cultivator...
