In this desolate battlefield beyond the borders, killing intent would occasionally permeate the air.

It seemed to have been accumulated from years of killing and warfare. These auras were mixed with various negative emotions such as resentment and anger. Although Qin Xin's spirit-devouring stone had the function of devouring, he dared not try it easily.

While dodging some spatial rifts, Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to explore and discovered many extremely precious spiritual herbs.

Many of these medicinal herbs are even needed to refine ninth-grade pills.

Because of the constant infusion of spiritual energy over the years, many of the ninth-grade spiritual herbs even developed some self-awareness and fled when Qin Xin tried to collect them.

At first, Qin Xin had no experience in collecting such spiritual herbs, and he accidentally lost a few.

Danqing's disappointed expression clearly showed how much a master alchemist valued this elixir.

However, after Qin Xin harvested several plants and transplanted them into the fragmented map space, Danqing's expression improved.

Furthermore, Danqing, who had always been quite indulgent towards Xiaojin and Xiaofeng, would directly drive the two little beasts away whenever they tried to approach the ninth-grade spiritual medicine.

Of course, Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng also knew that although this ninth-grade spiritual medicine was good, their current beast bodies would find it difficult to withstand the powerful impact of the medicine.

If ingested indiscriminately, it could be life-threatening.

However, Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng were only doing this so that Dan Qing would play with them. Qin Xin saw this out, so he didn't bother to interfere.

After Qin Xin left the Demon Suppression City, he spotted several martial artists, but he concealed himself to avoid being discovered.

Therefore, Qin Xin did not have any conflict with any force along the way.

The primary task now is to find the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect and reunite with them.

After all, they knew a lot about the situation here, while Qin Xin only had a superficial understanding and had no idea what was in this desolate extraterrestrial battlefield or why the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament was held here.

With some doubt in his mind, Qin Xin was momentarily distracted, and something under his feet made a crisp cracking sound.

Looking down, I realized it was the remains of a martial artist.

"Oops! Sorry, senior, no offense intended! No offense intended!"

Qin Xin quickly withdrew his foot and repeatedly apologized to the corpse in front of him.

During this process, Qin Xin also curiously took a look. The corpse was not a skeleton, but rather had a faint bluish tinge, like jade.

Although the corpse had been dead for a long time, it still exuded a faint air of loneliness, as if it were the remnants of its unwillingness before death.

The armor and weapons on the corpse were badly damaged, and the bones beneath the damaged areas were completely shattered, suggesting that the corpse had fought fiercely before its death.

On the skull of this corpse, there was a claw mark that cracked the skull, and it seemed that it was this fatal blow that caused his demise.

Qin Xin glanced at the corpse and saw a long sword lying on the ground in front of it. He was thinking of picking it up and taking a look.

However, the moment the Yuan Power touched it, the longsword had already weathered away and dissipated into the world.

In the instant the longsword vanished, Qin Xin seemed to see a scene of carnage from an ancient battlefield beyond the realms.

With just a wisp of black mist passing by, countless powerful human beings fell from the sky, the air filled with painful groans.

A man in armor flashed past, charging directly into the black mist. After slaying several ferocious monsters, he too fell to the ground.

Although he kept trying to look back, the feeling of powerlessness around him prevented him from doing so.

They could only watch helplessly as one martial artist after another fell from the sky, their life force completely dissipating.

"If this scene is real, then the extraterrestrial battlefield is truly terrifying!"

Qin Xin was momentarily speechless.

After briefly scanning the area around the corpse with his spiritual sense and finding nothing else, Qin Xin felt a surge of compassion.

As the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword surged in his hand, it directly blasted a crater over five meters deep and three meters long into the spot.

After using his spiritual sense to slowly lift the warrior's corpse, he placed it in the deep pit and pieced together the scattered bones.

Throughout the process, Qin Xin was quite careful, trying to avoid turning the bones into powder with the slightest force.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, may you rest in peace in the earth!"

Qin Xin sighed inwardly, seemingly influenced by the resentment emanating from the bones.

He himself was not a saint, but after seeing those powerless scenes, these people still charged forward without hesitation.

Before they died, they couldn't help but look back, for behind them lay their loved ones and all the people of the Tianxuan Continent.

It was precisely this kind of spirit that aroused Qin Xin's goodwill.

Just as Qin Xin was about to cover it with soil, a golden light flashed across the man's shattered armor and slowly emerged.

At the same time, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword also trembled slightly, as if it had received the approval of that golden light.

"This is?"

Qin Xin was puzzled for a moment, because he had never seen such a thing before.

"Kid, you're lucky, it's a spirit of an artifact!"

Danqing's somewhat ethereal figure slowly appeared and floated beside Qin Xin.

"A spirit?"

Qin Xin was both unfamiliar with and somewhat familiar with this title.

On the Tianxuan Continent, some powerful spiritual energies, after being nurtured over time, may take thousands of years to cultivate a spirit within them.

After a weapon spirit is born, it enables a martial artist to wield their weapon as easily as an extension of their own arm, unleashing even greater power. These weapon spirits are also known as acquired weapon spirits.

"This thing should be an innate artifact spirit."

Danqing said a few simple words, but they brought a look of surprise to Qin Xin's eyes.

Innate artifact spirits are nurtured by heaven and earth. Unlike acquired artifact spirits, they do not have a fixed physical form. All artifacts can be integrated into them, and they can continue to grow.

While Qin Xin was talking to Dan Qing, the innate artifact spirit had already fused with Qin Xin's Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword.

Previously, Qin Xin always felt that the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword was somewhat flawed, but now, after fusing with the weapon spirit, it has become extremely perfect.

The patterns on the entire blade became clearer.

A chilling aura was constantly spreading outwards.

"Qin Xin, I once said that this longsword is a celestial artifact, and now it has been well proven."

Danqing stared at the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword floating in the air and couldn't help but nod, his eyes even showing a hint of envy.
