The Reborn Pill Emperor

The hot air kept being sucked into his nose. Ye Bufan was getting more and more agitated. He looked at Third Palace Lord, who was lying unconscious on the ground. There was a voice in his heart that kept calling out to him.    

    

"Go... go and help Third Palace Lord up. Give him the Healing Pill and save Third Palace Lord's life!"    

    

Large beads of sweat oozed out of Ye Bufan's forehead, rolled down to his jaw, and fell to the ground. In an instant, they were evaporated by the hot fine sand.    

    

Finally, Ye Bufan raised his left foot and felt relaxed in his heart. Just as his left foot stepped out and was about to touch the ground, Ye Bufan made use of the ease in his heart to recover some clarity. He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped his foot.    

    

He retracted his foot and suspended it in midair, not daring to put it back where it was.    

    

The path of the Dao Rune was ever-changing, and the place where his foot was placed was not something that he could place just now. It could be placed now. Otherwise, if the challenger encountered any danger, they would only need to return according to the route they came from. Then, the Dao Rune wouldn't have much power left.    

    

He gently bit the tip of his tongue, and the faint pain brought a sense of clarity. He quickly circulated the Five Colors Golden Core in his body, expelling all the negative emotions from his body. Ye Bufan's eyes were tightly shut, and he held on to his origin.    

    

After a few breaths of time, Ye Bufan's eyes suddenly opened. His eyes flickered with a scarlet light as he poured spirit energy into them. He shouted loudly, "You dare to cheat me!"    

    

A thick Fire Spiritual Force spread out from Ye Bufan's shout. Third Palace Lord, who had fallen to the ground, also stood up at this time. He had an evil smile on his face, and his pupils were extremely blue. He looked at Ye Bufan and didn't say much. A spirit sword had appeared in his hand at some point in time. "I helped you break the formation, but you don't care about my life or death. I'm going to kill you!"    

    

As he spoke, he took two steps forward. When he was close to Ye Bufan, he thrust his sword at Ye Bufan. The tip of the sword shone with a deep blue light and carried a gloomy aura, stirring up waves of sand and wind.    

    

Looking at the actions of "Third Palace Lord," Ye Bufan's heart further confirmed that this was an illusion created by the Dao Rune. However, the spirit sword that was close to him was not an illusion. Ye Bufan could clearly feel this.    

    

Within the Dao Rune, most of the things visible to the naked eye were illusions, but some of the attacks were real. This was one of the powers of the Dao Rune.    

    

It was hard to distinguish between the real and the fake.    

    

Sensing that the attack was not an illusion, Ye Bufan naturally did not dare to sit still and wait for his death. He raised his hand and a thick flame appeared. The shield appeared in front of him. As Ye Bufan continuously poured his spiritual energy into it, the fire shield became thicker and thicker.    

    

Bang! With a loud sound, a strong vibration came. Ye Bufan, who was standing on one leg, almost could not stand stably. He forcefully held his breath and stabilized his body. Under the force, the fine sand had already buried itself into Ye Bufan's knee.    

    

As Ye Bufan's hand seals changed, the fire shield instantly spread out along the spirit sword towards Third Palace Lord's entire body.    

    

This "Third Palace Lord" was an illusion in the formation. Naturally, the gap between his strength and the real Third Palace Lord's Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage cultivation was huge. In an instant, he was engulfed by Ye Bufan's flames and disappeared without a trace.    

    

Although the crisis in front of him had been resolved, Ye Bufan was now trapped in fine sand and his body could not move at will, causing him to fall into a dilemma. He focused his mind and started observing the fluctuation of the Dao Rune, hoping to find a way forward.    

    

At this moment, Third Palace Lord appeared beside Ye Bufan again. Without hesitation, Ye Bufan raised his hand and waved. A ball of flame attacked. Unexpectedly, Third Palace Lord waved his hand, and the flame fell into his hand. Then, he clenched his right hand and the flame instantly disappeared.    

    

"Did you encounter an illusion just now?" Third Palace Lord looked at Ye Bufan's current situation and couldn't help but ask.    

    

The strength that Third Palace Lord displayed just now made Ye Bufan believe that he wasn't an illusion, but he was still cautious in his heart. He nodded and said, "Yes!"    

    

Third Palace Lord thought for a moment and said, "The Netherworld Qi unleashed by this Netherworld Tree is purer and thicker than before. It's easier for people to lose their minds. You have to be careful when dealing with it."    

    

"The top three, the left seven, the last six, and the top seven!" While Third Palace Lord and Ye Bufan were talking, he also took a step forward.    

    

After carefully observing for a while, Ye Bufan finally believed that the Third Palace Lord in front of him was not an illusion. He walked forward according to the steps he had said.    

    

As Ye Bufan kept moving, the scene in front of him changed again. Everything had disappeared. There were dark trees around him, and Third Palace Lord was standing not far away.    

    

Third Palace Lord said with a serious face, "Now we have reached the key point. This is where Dao Heart is located. If we can get through this obstacle, we can destroy the Dao Rune, otherwise..."    

    

Ye Bufan looked around. The fluctuation of the Dao Rune was extremely strong. "Could it be that the Dao Spirit has been born?"    

    

The Dao Spirit was the biggest difference between the Dao Rune in this world and the formation in his previous life. The longer a Dao Rune was built, the more spiritual energy it absorbed. The more powerful it was, the longer it would take to build it in his previous life. The weaker the formation would be, the opposite.    

    

As the Dao Rune's spirit energy continued to accumulate, a creature was born within the Dao Rune. This world was called the Dao Spirit.    

    

Why was it called the Dao Spirit? Because once this creature was born, it would have the cultivation of a Spirit Stage warrior, and as time passed, it would continue to increase. Furthermore, within the Dao Rune, the combat strength of the Dao Spirit would be stronger than a Sovereign at Spirit Stage of the same level.    

    

The Dao Spirit would usually guard the area near the Dao Heart. Otherwise, once the Dao Heart was destroyed, the Dao Rune would disintegrate, and the Dao Spirit would turn into strands of spiritual energy and return to the world.    

    

The Aoyun Sect's sect protecting Dao Rune had yet to produce a Dao Spirit, but the Netherworld Palace...    

    

This had greatly exceeded their expectations. However, Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord did not have the time to think about it.    

    

Third Palace Lord nodded with a solemn expression, "If the Dao Spirit is not strong enough, we will fight it together. If it is too strong, you can retreat first. I will cover your retreat!"    

    

Before Ye Bufan could reply, a gust of cold wind blew, causing the branches to rustle. Then, a sinister laughter enveloped the entire space, making it impossible to tell where the sound came from.    

    

A few breaths later, a black shadow floated over. When the black shadow landed, the laughter also stopped.    

    

Ye Bufan looked over and saw that the black shadow looked like a human but not a human. Its entire body was wrapped by a thick black Qi. Even Ye Bufan's eyesight could not see through the black Qi to see the true appearance of the black shadow, nor could he see the cultivation base of the black shadow.    

    

Third Palace Lord's eyes stopped on the black shadow. He moved his body to the front of Ye Bufan. "I will hold him back later. You go out first!"    

    

Third Palace Lord's words made Ye Bufan's heart tighten. This meant that the Dao Spirit's cultivation level was not lower than the Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Third Palace Lord's, but Ye Bufan asked, "How strong is he?"    

    

Third Palace Lord said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, this Dao Spirit has already reached the peak of the Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage. Compared to me, it is only slightly higher. We are also in the Dao Rune, so it will be very difficult for us to defeat him!"    

    

Hearing that the Dao Spirit was only at the peak of the Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage, Ye Bufan's heart began to race. He had seen too many powerful people in the Ghost Domain, so he didn't feel much fear when facing a peak Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Dao Spirit.    

    

"Let's try it together. If we can't do it, we'll think of a way to retreat!" Ye Bufan said firmly.    

    

The Dao Spirit's eyes flashed with black light as it stared at Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord. It seemed to realize that the two of them did not come with good intentions. It raised its hand without a sound and pointed. The countless dark trees around Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord instantly fell towards the two of them.    

    

Just as Third Palace Lord was about to persuade Ye Bufan again, the Dao Spirit had already attacked. With a tap of the tip of its foot, the two of them moved away from their original position at the same time and surrounded the Dao Spirit from both front and back.    

    

"All these years, you are the first people who dared to barge into this Dao Rune. It just so happens that you can use your blood as a sacrifice to your Dao heart!" The Dao Spirit seemed to rarely speak, so it sounded a little awkward when it spoke.    

    

Ye Bufan did not say any more nonsense. The Five Colors Golden Core in his body quickly rotated, and a mass of green-red flame appeared at the tip of his finger.    

    

Third Palace Lord also took out the spirit sword. With the infusion of spiritual energy, the body of the sword turned scarlet red. The Dao Rune in the sword was ignited, and a mass of red light enveloped the entire space. The temperature suddenly rose.    

    

Looking at their movements, the Dao Spirit wasn't afraid at all. "In this Dao Rune, I am the heavens!" After saying that, it raised its hand towards the sky and squeezed slightly. The surroundings immediately returned to its original dark color.    

    

Ye Bufan's eyes were startled. To be able to break the Dao Rune that Third Palace Lord had activated so easily, the strength of the Dao Spirit had obviously exceeded Ye Bufan's expectations.    

    

However, Ye Bufan could no longer care about that. If he could not get past the Dao Spirit, how could he save his father?    

    

With this thought in mind, Ye Bufan no longer thought about it. The seals in his hands began to rapidly change. The flames in his palms rose into the air and turned into five balls in an instant. With incredible speed, he attacked the Dao Spirit's back. At the same time, the Dragon Roar Sword had already appeared in his hand. It was the Dragon Roar Sword that Third Palace Lord had once again refined. At this moment, the sword did not even need Ye Bufan's spirit energy to activate it, and it was already scarlet red, emitting a scorching heat.    

    

When Third Palace Lord saw that the Dao Rune had been broken, he was only slightly stunned. He immediately circulated his spirit energy and the spirit sword in his hand continuously waved as he shouted, "Sword Astral Life-Taking Flame!"    

    

A ball of flame surged out from the tip of Third Palace Lord's sword, and it gradually grew with the wind. In an instant, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire. The countless flames in the sea of fire gathered into numerous fire blades. The flames spiraled from all directions and gathered at the spot where the Dao Spirit was standing.    

    

Even in a life and death battle, Third Palace Lord had never used such a powerful attack. Ye Bufan couldn't help but praise in his heart, "With this skill alone, it's impossible for anyone in the Aoyun Sect to escape unscathed. If Third Palace Lord's fire control technique is a little stronger, I'm afraid the power of this move will be much higher."    

    

The Dao Spirit was a soul body condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Flames have a natural suppressive effect on it. At this moment, he didn't think that Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord were both cultivating Fire Spiritual Force. A cold snort was emitted from the Dao Spirit's mouth. In the center of the endless flames, a patch of darkness appeared, blocking the flames. The Dao Spirit instantly disappeared from where it stood.    

    

The flame that Ye Bufan casted returned with no results. It kept circling around his body. His Divine Sense was completely useless here. Ye Bufan began to carefully listen to the movement around him.
