Chapter 42 Taking a Risk and Accidentally Hitting the Road

“Master… absorb it! Wake up!”

Ye Chen yelled in his heart.

He didn’t dare to be distracted in the slightest, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The moment the golden stream touched the ring, the ring seemed like a stone thrown into water, rippling with an extremely faint wave.

The ring, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly pulsed!

It seemed to be working!

Ye Chen was overjoyed.

Not daring to relax in the slightest, Ye Chen continued to fully maintain the Spiritual Qi transmission, continuously injecting the golden stream into the ring.

The golden leaf’s glow dimmed at a visible speed, its essence being rapidly extracted, while the faint light on the ancient ring continuously strengthened!

The aura of life grew richer, and the fluctuations within the ring became more obvious.

Finally, when the last wisp of golden light merged into the ring, the entire golden leaf completely turned to ash and dissipated.

Buzz!

The ring erupted with dazzling milky white light!

A Soul phantom, even more solid than before, slowly rose from the ring.

Although the phantom was still ethereal, it was no longer as dim as before; instead, it exuded a faint pressure!

“Master!”

Ye Chen shouted excitedly, his voice trembling.

The phantom slowly opened its eyes, and in those ancient eyes, a flicker of confusion appeared first, then quickly cleared.

Feeling his more condensed Soul body, the ancient voice carried a hint of emotion.

“Chen’er… where did you find this Spirit Medicine? It actually contains a trace of the Law that nourishes the Origin… Not only has it repaired my损耗, but it seems my Origin is also more stable!”

Ye Chen quickly recounted how he obtained the golden leaf in the underground river at the bottom of the cliff and the process of his daring attempt.

“Heaven’s will does not forsake my Master and disciple!”

The ancient voice exclaimed, filled with relief.

“Those three golden leaves are likely the legendary Heaven and Earth treasure—High Grade ‘Origin Tracing Leaf’! This item contains the Heaven and Earth Life Origin Law; its effect directly targets the essence of life, reshaping Foundation is nothing to it, and most importantly, it can also enhance a Cultivator’s Dao Foundation! Its preciousness far exceeds High Grade Spirit Medicine! You actually obtained three at once! This Luck… is truly Heaven-Defying!”

He gained a deeper understanding of Ye Chen’s Luck once again.

“Chen’er, no wonder I feel that your Dao Foundation has not only been repaired but has also subtly advanced further. My disciple truly has good fortune. What a pity, if your Dao Foundation hadn’t been injured, it might have advanced even further.”

“Master, your disciple didn’t think that much; it’s good to be safe!”

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression became solemn again.

“This place is ultimately not safe enough; the Blood Demon Sect is probably still searching, so I need to return to the Sect as soon as possible.”

“That’s right!”

The ancient phantom nodded and instantly merged into the ring.

Ye Chen’s spirits lifted, no longer worried; with his Master overseeing, he felt completely confident.

After all, he had encountered countless dangers along the way, and as long as the Ring Spirit was present, he could generally turn misfortune into good fortune.

Ye Chen carefully cleared the traces in the cave and then concealed his aura.

Activating his Cultivation Technique, he discerned the direction, slightly restrained his Spiritual Qi, and his figure, like a ghost, rapidly fled towards the Wenxian Sect’s direction.

Ye Chen stealthily moved, and with the Ring Spirit’s powerful Divine Thought sensing ahead, he avoided several Blood Demon Sect search parties.

Seeing that he was less than a hundred miles from the Wenxian Sect’s territory boundary, Ye Chen felt a little relieved.

However, just as he was about to cross the low hills ahead, a terrifying killing intent suddenly locked onto him!

Ye Chen’s face turned pale, and cold sweat continuously dripped.

The sky instantly turned blood red, and a black dot in the distance rapidly approached!

“Little beast! This old man has been looking for you for days, so you were hiding here! The hatred for killing my son is irreconcilable! Give me your life!”

A gaunt figure appeared like a ghost on a towering boulder in front.

His face was ashen, his body surrounded by dense Devilish Qi, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Ye Chen to shreds; it was none other than the Blood Demon Sect Third Elder!

The terrifying pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm erupted without reservation, striking Ye Chen like a solid blow!

Pfft!

Ye Chen was hit hard, kneeling on one knee, his protective spiritual light instantly shattered, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out!

The gap in Realms was like an unbridgeable chasm!

Under this pressure, Ye Chen couldn’t even raise his head to look directly at the other party!

“Little beast! Die!”

The Blood Demon Sect Third Elder gave no chance to speak, striking with hatred!

A gigantic blood palm, covering the sky and sun, carrying a strong腥风, quickly condensed into shape.

Containing the power to destroy everything, and with the supreme pressure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it slammed down fiercely towards Ye Chen below!

Ye Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave; the feeling of death instantly overwhelmed him!

He even felt that the Spiritual Qi in his body was frozen, unable to even summon his Master to possess him!

At this critical moment, Ye Chen’s Flame Emperor Prison Breaking Skill automatically activated frantically under the pressure of life and death, attempting to resist.

The Ring Spirit in the ring sensed all of this and prepared to burn its Origin at all costs!

However, just an instant before the blood palm was about to strike.

“Hmph! Blood Demon Sect Devil Head, what great prestige! To bully a Foundation Establishment junior here? Truly shameless!”

A clear, yet equally majestic female voice, like a heavenly melody, resounded!

Whoosh!

A purple flame spear radiating a terrifying aura pierced through the air!

The spear arrived later but struck precisely at the center of the giant blood palm!

Chila!!!

The giant blood palm was instantly pierced by the purple flame spear, and in an instant, it was burned into a sky full of smoke by the domineering purple flames!

The terrifying energy fluctuation instantly scraped away three feet of the ground!

After the storm, a figure gracefully descended.

The newcomer had a graceful figure, wearing a luxurious pale golden palace dress embroidered with fire cloud patterns, her face covered by a white veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

Though not overbearing, she exuded an inherent noble temperament, like a deep pool in a high mountain, seemingly controlling the source of all flames.

Most striking was the Amethyst Flood Dragon phantom, entirely composed of purplish-red translucent flames, circling and dancing beside her!

That lifelike pressure indicated her Master’s powerful cultivation and extraordinary status.

“Golden Core tenth layer… yet able to manifest the Amethyst Flood Dragon, such an exotic Origin True Fire, into a solid form?!”

The Blood Demon Sect Third Elder’s pupils suddenly constricted, and for the first time, a solemn and wary expression appeared on his face, his rage forcibly suppressed a few points.

Although the opponent’s Realm was lower than his, the fiery Origin Qi that made his Demonic Technique feel a slight burning pain, and the manifested True Fire, all indicated that this woman had an extraordinary background!

It was highly possible that she was… a person from a Holy Land! Especially that veil, which looked like a protective Magic Treasure of no low grade.

Moreover, the Blood Demon Sect Third Elder could clearly feel that a terrifying aura seemed to have appeared nearby, as if as long as he made a rash move, he would instantly die and his Soul would be extinguished.

Making up his mind, the Blood Demon Sect Third Elder forced himself to remain calm, preparing to probe the opponent’s background before making a decision.
