The battlefield outside the territory is desolate.

Just as Qin Xin had thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was extremely chaotic, making it very troublesome to refine it into Yuan Power through martial spirit.

After walking only a few steps, Qin Xin discovered several spatial rifts. He quickly dodged them, but still felt a sense of unease.

This spatial rift is extremely terrifying. If you accidentally enter it, you are likely to be swept into the spatial turbulence. If you are lucky, you may not be killed by the spatial turbulence, but you don't know where you will be taken.

However, for martial artists below the Earth Profound Realm, the chances of survival are extremely slim once they are caught in this spatial rift.

Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin discovered that there were many abandoned cities in this desolate extraterrestrial battlefield, with architectural styles that were extremely similar to those of the Tianxuan Continent.

In the sky, there seemed to be some very powerful formations, which appeared to be sealing off other passages.

To conserve enough Yuan energy and avoid being ambushed here, Qin Xin chose to walk, using his spiritual sense to explore along the way.

Upon entering this desolate extraterrestrial battlefield, everyone was randomly teleported to a certain location. Since Qin Xin was not familiar with this place, he needed to first reunite with the other disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.

Relying on his late-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivation, Qin Xin was able to effectively conceal his presence on the battlefield.

As he emerged from a jungle, a peculiar environment came into view that gave Qin Xin a strange sense of familiarity.

After careful investigation, Qin Xin discovered that the atmosphere of this place and the surrounding vegetation were almost exactly the same as the location of the altar he had previously found in the main peak of the Kunmen sect in the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.

"Could there be demons here?"

Qin Xin had some doubts in his heart, because the aura here had not been purified, so it was not impossible.

"Qin Xin, be careful. The demons are powerful. If you sense anything amiss, run away immediately!"

Danqing immediately reminded Qin Xin in his heart.

Danqing didn't actually have much access to information about the demon race, since it was almost impossible for demons to enter the martial world.

If they are discovered by the laws of the martial world, they will be annihilated.

Of course, the demon race also has its own upper realm above these three thousand worlds, which is also known as the Demon Realm.

Because everything around was contaminated by those special energies, Qin Xin was unable to detect anything for the time being using his spiritual sense.

However, every time Qin Xin released his spiritual sense, it seemed that there was some kind of aura here, causing the Spirit Devouring Stone to tremble continuously, as if something in front of it was attracting it.

Qin Xin was naturally surprised by this. The Devouring Spirit Stone had reacted similarly when he obtained the Fire God Crystal before, and this time the reaction seemed even stronger than before.

Although he could sense the danger, Qin Xin still gritted his teeth and prepared to go and investigate.

After walking only a few steps, Qin Xin discovered that there seemed to be an array concealing the area. The aura and arrangement of this sword array were exactly the same as those of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect.

"Could it be that the Xuantian Sword Sect used an array to imprison this place after killing the demons?"

Qin Xin thought about it, but quickly dismissed the idea.

This formation is not a suppression or strangulation formation, but a formation that can completely conceal the aura here.

As for the altered environment around us, it's because this formation is quite old, and in this desolate outer battlefield, it can't replenish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is why it leaked.

"Xiao Jin! It's all up to you!"

Qin Xin summoned Xiao Jin directly from the mysterious fragment of the map.

At this moment, Little Gold seemed to have undergone a huge change. Its fur exuded a murderous aura, and its entire body reached a height of three meters, making Qin Xin feel a sense of oppression.

The hair pattern of the character "王" (king) on ​​Xiao Jin's forehead appears even more complex, and there seems to be a special aura surrounding it.

"Not bad, its strength is equivalent to a level seven demonic beast!"

After Xiao Jin's body shrank rapidly, it jumped onto Qin Xin's shoulder like a tiny kitten.

Qin Xin gently stroked its fur, finding it very smooth.

Previously, at the Cloud Martial Hall, the beast crystal of the jungle demon tiger brought about a great change to Xiao Jin. It seemed that because of the ancient ferocious bloodline of the demon tiger itself, it prompted Xiao Jin's bloodline power to be strengthened again.

However, just as Xiao Jin was strutting around on Qin Xin's shoulder, a fiery red light, trailing a long tail of flame, circled around Qin Xin.

Xiao Feng's aura also became stronger.

It seems that because of the contract between Xiao Feng and Qin Xin, as his strength increases, Xiao Feng will also undergo some changes. Qin Xin also sensed that the blue flames around Xiao Feng are extremely similar to his Blue Rock Bone Flame.

"grumble!"

The little phoenix only let out a faint chirp.

Xiao Jin, who had been holding his head high, suddenly lowered his head as if suppressed by his bloodline, and stood silently in front of Qin Xin, seemingly complaining to him.

"Alright, you two, quiet down for a bit."

"I have important business to attend to."

Qin Xin patiently comforted the two little ones.

They seemed to sense the danger around them, so they immediately quieted down.

Under Qin Xin's command, the "king" character hair between Xiao Jin's eyebrows continuously emitted light.

In no time, Xiao Jin opened a passage through the array that had been blocking the surrounding area.

After returning the two little ones to the fragmented map space, Qin Xin stepped into the interior of the formation.

Upon entering, Qin Xin immediately sensed a strong stench of blood.

He felt a little nauseous, and although the formation seemed to be a city, there was no trace of any martial artist.

The sky above that somewhat dilapidated city was completely shrouded in a black aura, which emanated from a crack visible to the naked eye.

"Could it be...!"

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Qin Xin's heart.

This crack must have existed for quite some time, and there's a strong possibility that a powerful demon truly exists here.

If that's the case, it won't just be Qin Xin alone; everyone participating in this Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament could be in great danger.

However, when Qin Xin saw some spirit-gathering formations around him that were related to the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, it confirmed his suspicions.

"The cracks here are related to the Xuan Tian Sword Sect!"

"But what exactly is the purpose of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect in doing all this?"
