main and with the huge expenditure of energy they'd endured along the way, they couldn't hold out for long. In the end, the last skeleton serpent was swallowed by the ant swarm, and Lu Xia Tian withd...Nine Tribulations Yin-Yang Turmoil Spirit Wheel Lu Xiaotian paused, this object was indeed a notorious vicious item according to rumors. However, for a cultivator who was about to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it could also be a viable path. Although it was more dangerous than others, it could also help him complete his ascension.
The Nine Tribulations Yin-Yang Murky Spirit Wheel contains the power of Yin and Yang. It is chaotic and unpredictable, allowing those who enter to choose between using Yin or Yang power to break through. However, this choice comes at a price: enduring the onslaught of the opposing force. Nine Tribulations also symbolizes the saying "nine deaths and one life". Generally, less than one in ten people who enter emerge alive. Despite this, countless cultivators during the late stage of body refinement have relentlessly sought out the Nine Tribulations Yin-Yang Murky Spirit Wheel. Success means breaking through to a new level, drawing closer to the Dao. Failure leads to death and the complete dissipation of one's life force. Throughout countless ages, there has never been a third possibility.
This Nine Tribulations Yin-Yang Tainted Spirit Wheel contains the power of yin and yang, primarily used by ghosts and demons. As for humans or monsters, the limitations are relatively greater. Those who are not physically strong or have outstanding spiritual souls will find it difficult to survive. Human and monster cultivators mostly follow different paths, making it rare to find individuals with both a powerful physical body and spirit. As for Lu Xiaoteng, he naturally belongs to this category. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to suddenly stop.
"Haha, this thing this king must get. The Nether Demon Corpse Grounds has already shown signs of yin and yang converging. Even if everyone present gets this thing, they will mostly have to pass through this king's sphere of influence. Dare to compete with this king for this thing It depends on whether this king agrees."
The crimson-green ape king’s booming laughter echoed, instantly changing the expressions of several cultivators who had been intensely excited about the possibility of merging. The threat of the crimson-green ape king was too palpable; he had made his intentions clear. Anyone who dared to compete for this item would be hunted down in the Demon Corpse Lands. Success or failure at advancing to the next level wouldn’t matter; they wouldn’t even stand a chance against the crimson-green ape king. After all, the Heaven Yin Old Ghost, another late-stage cultivator, had already fallen to this vicious demon.
The threat of the Red-Green Ape King directly made many powerful cultivators in the Fusion Realm consider retreating.

Lu Xiaotian frowned, if it could really help him break through to the late stage of the Hunyuan period, then fighting against this Chiqing Ape King wouldn't be a bad idea. However, all he had now was just a mere road guide. Even if he obtained it, there was no guarantee he would find the Nine Tribulations Yin-Yang Turmoil Spirit Wheel.
If too much money is wasted on this item, if a dragon-patterned dark crystal appears later, there will inevitably be many changes.
After much deliberation, Lu Xia Tian ultimately decided to forgo this item.
“While others fear you, the Chi-Qing Ape King, I am not afraid of you. This territory of the Heaven Yin Ghost belongs to me, and everything you have swallowed must be spat back out.” A wave of fetid corpse water surged through the sky. Those below, cultivators from all races, all fled a distance away in terror. If this were not a marketplace, these low-level cultivators, and even some Nascent Soul cultivators, would have already run as far away as possible.

This corpse water is filled with countless black dots. At first glance, it appears unremarkable. Only when you get closer can you see that the black dots are actually countless cloud-patterned lice. These cloud-patterned lice are everywhere and are also the reason why other cultivators fear this place.
"Cloud Lice Corpse Demon!" The Red-Green Ape King saw this cloud of corpse water, and his unrestrained aura slightly subsided. "This king can slay the Heaven's Shadow Old Ghost, and I can also subdue you, Corpse Demon."
"Save your lip service for another day. I'll offer five million lower-grade spirit crystals for this." Yun Shi Corpse Demon made a direct offer.
$6 million!
"Seven million!"
After the Cloud Lice Demon offered a price, fewer dared to intervene. Yu Ya, on that giant ship, smiled playfully and swayed gracefully, attracting countless gazes.
Lu Xia Tian glanced at Yu Ya before leaving. Luckily, he managed to gather all the materials needed for refining the Dragon Vein Hundred Refinement Pill. The marketplace truly lived up to its reputation as a grand gathering for various races' commerce. Although this spatial anomaly couldn't bring together every cultivator from these races, even one percent wouldn't be possible, the scale of the event was unprecedented in Lu Xia Tian's life.
Such spirit creatures, in the chaotic Demon Realm or anywhere else, would take hundreds or even tens of thousands of years to gather. It all depended on luck.
With the number of Dragon Pattern Dark Crystals in his hand, refining a furnace of Dragon Pattern Hundred Refinement Pills was still slightly short. However, the success rate of this pill wasn't high. Once consumed, there wouldn't be another market for him to gather these materials again. It would be extremely difficult for him to collect enough on his own.
If enough Dragon Mark Crystalline Cores can be gathered, although the effects may be slower, it will be more stable.
As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." Lu Xiaoteng finally witnessed another dragon-patterned dark crystal at the auction in the ruins market. This one was more than twice the size of the two he already possessed, with a higher grade and an astonishing amount of spiritual energy contained within it.
"Although this single Dragon Vein Dark Crystal isn't enough to make two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators advance, it's close. If I wasn't worried about dividing it and damaging its spiritual energy, I would have split it up already. Enough chit-chat, the starting price is ten million low-grade spirit crystals, with each bid increase not less than one million." The host of the market was auctioning off this Dragon Vein Dark Crystal. His voice, like that of an old crane wearing a crown, rang clearly in every attendee's ear.
"20 million!" Lu Xiaoteng directly bid. The value of the Dragon-patterned Dark Crystal was already worth his all-out effort. Even if it meant becoming an enemy of any Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he would not hesitate.
$21 million!
"23 million." Lu Xiaoteng was determined to obtain this item, and others wouldn't willingly give up. The difference between the late stage and middle stage of integration is vast. Even with Lu Xiaoteng's current strength, if he didn't rely on the power of the formation against the Phantom Scorpion King for a long time, he would inevitably fall behind. An ordinary mid-stage fusion cultivator couldn't compare to Lu Xiaoteng's foundation, and they wouldn't be a match for the late-stage monsters at all.
"25 million! Fellow Daoists, I apologize, but this Dragon Patterned Dark Crystal, this King will not give up." At this time, the familiar giant ship broke through the clouds again, and it was the Red-Green Ape King once again.
Many people thought to themselves, the Red and Green Ape King is already a late-stage fusion demon, yet he’s still coming here to compete with them for the Dragon Scale Dark Crystal. How shameless!
"Thirty million!" Lu Xia Tian no longer had the patience to continue bidding. With the Dragon-patterned Dark Crystal in sight, he didn't care about whether it was the Crimson Green Ape King or not. He hadn't competed for this Crimson Green Ape King before because a mere road sign wasn't worth angering such a powerful enemy. It wasn't that he was truly afraid of the Crimson Green Ape King.
“Hm Friend, don’t think that hiding behind a mask will allow you to escape notice. This king will easily find you when the time comes.” There was a threatening undertone in Chiqing Ape King’s words.
“You, a mere monster, truly believe that the world belongs to you If you can offer a price higher than mine, I’ll leave. But if you can’t, then shut your mouth.” Lu Xia Tian replied without any courtesy.
"Good, good, very good. 31 million."
“Thirty-five million!”
