Chapter 5146: Failure
Even though all three of them were cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, they couldn't resist it at all. Their cultivation, which they usually boasted about, seemed like fireflies compared to th...Apart from the seven-leaf ice heart grass, everything else was prepared meticulously, even more than one set.
Otherwise, the Night Demon Lord would not have easily tried.

A multitude of alchemists had already deduced the entire formula countless times. At first, the refining process went relatively smoothly. To remove the poison from Qingli Mo Fei's body was no easy feat; it couldn't be accomplished in a short time.
The Desolate Night Demon Monarch ostensibly allowed Lu Xia Tian and the others to use the medicinal energy of this pill to stabilize Qing Li's demonic poison, intending to gradually expel it with the power of the pills later.

Even if the refining process goes smoothly and the pill is successfully created, the entire process is extremely dangerous. However, if controlled properly, Qing Li Mo Fei's good fortune may allow for a successful outcome.
It's just that the Night Demon Lord apparently wants to do everything possible to increase the chances of Qing Li, the Demonic Empress, waking up. If he had simply spread the danger around, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't have felt anything was wrong.
But the other party wanted to use the Nine Turns Heart Connecting Pill Array to allow their divine consciousness to, in a way, merge with the Qi during the process of controlling it.

Then, along with the Dan Qi, it converts the poisonous qi within Qing Li's demonic empress body.
In this way, the danger of Qingli Demon Queen could be minimized, not to mention that it would be equivalent to using their lives in exchange for Qingli Demon Queen's revival.
Lu Xiaotian, Xue Lin Dan Sheng and others naturally wouldn't seek their own deaths. To complete this final step, at least a fifth-rank Dan Sheng was needed, and they also had to be extremely familiar with Qing Li Mo Fei's poison. In that case, only the Night Demon Monarch could personally take action.
Throughout the entire process, Xue Lin Dan Saint never revealed a single hint about Huang Ye Mo Jun's mastery of alchemy to him. Even they themselves were unaware of Huang Ye Mo Jun's specific plans.
The entire process of refining the elixir is not short. Even if the progress is fast, it will still take decades to hundreds of years. During this process, the passage into the Immortal and Demonic Battlefield will be completely stabilized.
During this period of time, whether it's the demon world, the magic world, or even the fairy world and the ghost world, they are probably all ready to enter the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

The Dark Lord of the Night wasn't worried about him causing any trouble while overseeing the alchemy here. Di Xiao Mo Peng was too busy preparing to enter the Immortal Demon Battlefield right now to bother with him.
In the past, the bustling demon world was about to enter a period of short-lived peace for nearly a hundred years. During this time, both the demon world and the major forces in the immortal realm, who had already fought fiercely at the Sea Soul Palace, greatly restrained themselves.

Those seemingly brutal battles were insignificant compared to the grand scale of the upcoming celestial and demonic warfields.
Compared to the temporary peace of other places, Lu Xia Tian, after 30,000 years of cultivation, entered a realm of turbulent and unpredictable waves.
As the spiritual energy of twenty-seven Sanpin Dansheng was channeled through Xue Lin, Die Wu, and Wu Muqun, three Danshengs refined it further. Gradually, it converged toward Lu Xia Tian's side.
Lu Xia Tian combined these dan qi into one, and then under his control, they split apart again, one into three, three into nine, forming the Nine Palaces Turning Spirit Array.
The entire dan array rose from the Dan Hall, covering a radius of 50,000 miles. The majestic danqi released by dozens of alchemists led by Lu Xia Tian, all ranked three-star or above, surged in the air above Huangqing Hall. The dan array churned madly, forming a spectacle almost as if it were going to blot out the sun and moon.
“This Eastern Saint of Dan indeed has its unique aspects. A mere 30,000 years of cultivation, and his alchemy attainments have reached such a level of refinement.”
Even the Desolate Night Demon Lord who guarded Qing Li Demon Empress was surprised. Over the years, he had sent some fifth-grade materials to Lu Xia Tian, and Lu Xia Tian's alchemy success rate was decent, but there was nothing too amazing about it.
As a fifth-grade alchemist, the Night Demon Lord had his pride. Before, he valued Lu Xia Tian, but there was still a hint of superiority in his attitude.
Perhaps Lu Xia Tian's mastery of alchemy is still inferior to his, but judging from the momentum displayed right now, he is already close to being on par with him.
This aura was built upon Lü Xiaoteng's understanding of the Dan Dao, emanating from within him instinctively. Back then, the Demon Lord of the Desolate Night had also gone through such a process.
“This fellow is really putting in the effort to refine the Nine Nine Heart-Connecting Spirit Transformation Pill, but it’s a pity that these alone won’t be enough to save Qing Li.” The Night Demon Lord quickly suppressed the slight fondness for talent that was rising again.
"If one does not put forth a full-fledged effort, how can they possibly face the ancient demon lord of the desolate night"
Lu Xia Tian's mouth twitched slightly. Once his oversight here became noticeable, disrupting the entire alchemy process, the Dark Night Demon Lord would definitely take action against him immediately, leaving no second chance at all.
In the early stage of the entire alchemy process, Lu Xia Tian didn't intend to hold back at all, he was determined to give it his all.
With the passage of time, the imposing aura of the dan array hovering above the desolate Qing Palace continued to accumulate.
The anomaly of Huacheng Palace not only caught the attention of the demon guard army but also reached Emperor Xiaomo Peng through some channels.
These years, the Night Demon Lord has spared no effort to save his beloved Qingli Demon Empress. This is well-known throughout the world, and even Xiang Kuang, Luo Ping'er, and Zhu Qi (the three later disciples) have heard about the celestial phenomenon created by Lu Xia Tian when he refined pills in the Abandoned Clear Hall.
Lu Xiaoteng's palm opened, and a damaged seven-leaf ice heart grass floated out. The crystal-like leaves shimmered with an otherworldly beauty under the spiritual light.
At this moment, even the Night Demon Lord’s heart couldn't help but beat faster. The entire alchemy process had reached its final stage, and it would be at most seven years before the outcome was revealed.
The first ice leaf flew off the branch, and under the night sky, the scarlet array also rose with a flurry of snow.

The snowfall has persisted for years, blanketing many buildings in a thick layer of white.
Hiss! The medicinal power of Bing Ye's transformation merged with the elixir in front of Lu Xia Tian. Flames and ice intertwined, offsetting each other as they slowly fused together.
Throughout the entire alchemy process, despite encountering a few significant obstacles along the way, I persevered and managed to overcome them all thanks to the six Ice Leaves.
In the dead of night, the Demon Lord took a deep breath. To replace the last ice leaf, he had prepared dozens of other ice-elemental treasures.

At this moment, the Night Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance. He had already placed great importance on the Seven-Leaf Ice Heart Grass, sending out You Cuo and Shun Lei Demon Emperor, and even spent a considerable amount to have You Cuo bring a half-step Xuan Tian level magic weapon. He had also arranged for Die Wu, his undercover agent.
He also monitored several powerful Yuan Shen Demon Body Realm experts under Di Shao's command, expending a considerable amount of energy. What was supposed to be foolproof went awry due to the interference of strong members from the Bingying Clan.
The entire alchemy process went so smoothly. If the Seven-Leaf Ice Heart Grass hadn't been damaged even a little, perhaps this alchemy attempt would have been a complete success, and he could have successfully awakened Qingli Devil Empress before entering the Immortal Demon Battlefield.
It's a pity that man can't outsmart heaven!
The ice crystals and snow ridges etch, transforming the phantom ice plum into a single plant. The demonic plants transform into pure, ultimate ice-elemental power, infused within the elixir.
Different forces poured in, causing the medicinal liquid to churn violently all of a sudden, like oil being heated over a raging fire. The medicinal energy also became chaotic as a result.
Lu Xia Tian's face was as deep as water, he used all his power to control the balance of dan qi. Time and time again, he saw the almost out-of-control situation being eased under Lu Xia Tian's persistence.
However, inevitably a portion of the Qi also flows through the entire formation and guides towards other alchemists.
"No good!" The Dark Lord of the Night cried out, his face changing color.
At this time, Lu Xia Tian was still struggling to maintain the situation, and the overall Dan array was still largely controllable. However, with each change, the Dan Qi transmitted to other Dan Saints was constantly accumulating.
With a deafening roar! The two pill furnaces exploded directly, sending plumes of black smoke billowing into the air. A white-bearded elderly alchemist spat blood and flew backwards.
Influenced by the old man, a woman with a deer head who was still able to maintain some composure, and a plump middle-aged man also had their confidence shattered. Although the cauldron didn't explode directly, billowing flames rose from it.
With a thunderous boom! The crimson formation that had enveloped the desolate Qing Palace for tens of thousands of miles finally exploded, forming an incredibly massive shockwave.
Even though the original demon army garrison had been partially withdrawn, the entire Huangqing Palace still required guards. It was impossible to be completely undefended. Under the violent explosion of this dan array, tens of thousands were killed or wounded.
Lu Xia Tian and thirty Three-Star alchemists and above, with nearly a hundred years of condensed alchemy qi, lost control and exploded. Even a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Demon Physique realm would be severely injured if caught in it, and one wrong move could even result in instant death.
Not to mention the guards who protected the deserted and desolate hall. Though they were also elite members of the demon race, it was difficult for them to escape such a calamity.
As the one controlling the core of the entire formation, Lu Xia Tian even when barely managing to control the formation at the last moment as it was about to spiral out of control and severing his connection with it entirely, still suffered no small amount of injury.
"Such formidable counterforce." Lu Xia Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. If not for the strength gained from these tens of thousands of years of secluded cultivation, with his strength when he first emerged from the Huasheng Demon Abyss, he probably wouldn't even be able to sit steadily right now.
“Eastern Senior, are you alright” Xue Lin and Die Wu, several Dan Saints were also injured, but fortunately it was only the second layer of the Dan Formation.
The risks undertaken by Lu Xiaotian as the host of the core of the grand formation are completely different from the direct impact.
Several people were shocked by the extent of the backlash after the formation shattered. After stabilizing themselves slightly, seeing Lu Xia Tian spitting blood and his face turning pale, they immediately flew over to him.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Regardless of other matters, Lu Xia Tian had no ulterior motives in guiding them in the art of alchemy these years. Several people had made significant improvements. Even Wu Muqun, who initially had some reservations about Lu Xia Tian, also developed a positive view of him.
Although he still didn't think Lü Xiaitian could surpass the Night Demon Lord in alchemy, his understanding of the art was far beyond what they could reach.
"It's alright, I can recover after some cultivation." Lu Xia Tian weakly waved his hand, then looked into the depths of the night sky, "I failed to complete my task, resulting in a failure. I have let the Demon Lord down."
Xue Lin, Die Wu and the others gazed in astonishment. A shadowy figure of the Night Demon Monarch had already drifted from the dull twilight, his face as still as water, emitting an unprecedented chill that enveloped them.
"My Lord Demon King, it was my incompetence that led to the collapse of the formation. Please punish me!" The first elder who spat blood and flew backwards knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
“Please, Lord Demon King, punish us.” Xue Lin, Die Wu and others all pleaded guilty.
"Do your best and accept what fate has in store. You've done well. If not for the damage to the Qiyebingxin Grass, the success rate of this alchemy would have been quite high. No wonder you are so..."
Even if the alchemy fails, you have both worked hard. This Lord is just a bit tired and temporarily uninterested in handling affairs. Once this Lord's state of mind returns to normal, I will reward you for your merits.
"My subordinate dares not." Xue Lin and the others hurriedly said.
"Go and rest yourselves. For what you need to heal, address the Netherworld Demon Lord; he will handle it directly.” After the Shadow of the Midnight Demon Monarch finished speaking, it vanished directly into the dim night.
Once the other party's breath had completely gone, Lu Xiaocai finally let out a sigh of relief. This hurdle was temporarily passed.
If it weren't for the damage to the Qiyebingxin grass, this alchemy session would have truly reached its final stage. At that point, I wouldn't stand a chance unless Lao Du himself intervened!
However, with the might of the Night Demon Monarch and being within the confines of the Abandoned Cleansing Hall, even if the old poison master made a move personally, the chances of escaping unharmed were still slim.
This time Di Xiao Mo Peng really helped him out a lot. Another day, if there's an opportunity to meet, I definitely have to thank him in person.
"Don't get too excited just yet. I know the Night Demon Lord best. He is a master strategist, and even if you enter the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, it will be incredibly difficult to escape him."
I know your True Dragon body is powerful beyond compare, and it will take a while to heal your current injuries. However, in front of the Night Demon Lord, it's best not to show off too much. Try to make him misjudge your strength as much as possible.
Old Poison, hearing the results of refining medicine within the Qingguo Barrier, though reminding Lu Xia Tian with words like this, his heart was greatly relieved.
"I've taken note," Lu Xia Tian nodded. Even if the other party knew he had a treasure like a teleportation device in his hand, they would never expect the existence of the Qingguo barrier.
As for his personal cultivation and some characteristics of the True Dragon Body, Lu Xia Tian didn't feel that he could hide them from the Night Demon Monarch.
In the Demon Realm, many powerful beings have witnessed him using dragon clan divine abilities. From Zi Shu Yin Shadow, Jin Guang Immortal Monarch, Mie Xin Ancient Buddha, Di Nio Mo Peng, and countless other primordial spirit demon bodies, Da Luo Jin Xian-level powerhouses are too numerous to mention.
Even after tens of thousands of years, the Night Demon Lord's reaction was dull enough to learn everything about his whereabouts in the demon world.
“There’s no point thinking about anything else, now focus all your efforts on preparing to enter the Immortal Demon Battlefield. The Seven-Leaf Iceheart Grass is something that's hard to come by even in the Demon Realm.”
The Night Demon Lord had previously possessed a very rare and valuable treasure. However, there might still be a chance to obtain it within the battlefield between immortals and demons.
Whether to overcome this era's tribulation or for the Seven-Leaf Ice Heart Grass, the Demon Lord of the Desolate Night will inevitably enter the Immortal and Demonic Battlefield.
The other demon lords, even the Demon Emperor, would almost certainly go in. It was just a matter of time. Old Poisonous Thing said in a low voice.
“Emperor of Demons!” Lu Xia Tian gasped.
At this time, just being a Demon Lord of the Night gave him an unrivaled feeling. As for the higher-level Demon Emperor, even with his current cultivation level, it would be difficult to meet one.
Every interface has only a few such existences, which also shows how dangerous this cycle of reincarnation is.
At this time, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but worry about the safety of Luo Qing, Lu Wushuang, and Dongfang Yi.
The cycle of reincarnation affects everyone, and Luo Qing knows that several people in the demon realm are definitely not safe. She also doesn't know how many people are doing now., this was indeed the case. Lu Xia Tian already had experience successfully breaking through the wolf cavalry formation once. Currently, with this group of wolf cavalry being no more numerous or power...
