Chapter 557: Pills

Although the illusory figure pretended to be calm on the surface, the fear that flashed in his eyes did not escape Fang Yue's eyes.

Fang Yue knew very well that this was a manifestation of the opponent's cowardice. As long as he worked harder, he might be able to defeat it completely.

"It seems that you are just like this, and you dare to speak wildly!"

Fang Yue mocked loudly while adjusting his state and secretly recovering his consumed vitality.

The illusory figure was angry and humiliated. It danced wildly with its hands and chanted more evil spells.

As the spell was chanted, the dark power in the room gathered towards it like a surging tide.

The black barrier, which had already dimmed, lit up again, and the light was even brighter than before, and began to move slowly, trying to completely trap Fang Yue in a smaller space.

At the same time, countless black spikes suddenly stretched out from the ground and stabbed at Fang Yue quickly.

Fang Yue's eyes were stern, and his figure was like lightning, quickly shuttling between the black spikes.

He swung the sword in his hand continuously, cutting off the approaching spikes one by one.

However, the spikes kept pouring out, making him a little overwhelmed.

Fang Yue moved around in the gaps of the black spikes. Although his sword skills were sharp and he kept cutting off the attacking spikes, the large number of spikes still made him gradually feel exhausted.

Sweat rolled down his forehead and soaked his clothes, but his eyes became more and more determined, with only one thought in his mind: I can't be defeated here.

The illusory figure saw that Fang Yue was a little embarrassed under the attack of the spikes, and a hint of pride flashed in his originally fearful eyes.

"Do you think you can easily defeat me? This is just the beginning. In front of this dark power, you will all be wiped out!" Its voice echoed in the room, full of twisted madness.

Fang Yue sneered, "Don't bluff here, you are just making a final struggle!"

While speaking, he saw an opening, jumped up suddenly, avoided several spikes that were about to pierce him, and at the same time, he drew a few sword flowers with the long sword in his hand, and a sword energy shot towards the illusory figure like a long rainbow piercing the sun.

The illusory figure didn't expect Fang Yue to be able to launch a counterattack in such a predicament. In a hurry, the black shield around it flashed, barely blocking the sword energy. But this attack also made its figure shake, and the originally smooth chanting of the spell also paused for a short time.

Fang Yue seized this opportunity, and the vitality in his body circulated wildly, gathering all the power he could mobilize on the long sword.

"Heaven and Earth Return to One Sword Control Technique!" He shouted loudly, and this time the sword energy shadow was more condensed than before, with an overwhelming momentum, whistling towards the illusory figure.

The illusory figure felt this powerful threat and could no longer remain calm.

Its eyes were full of fear, and its hands were dancing desperately, trying to strengthen its defense.

However, this time its strength seemed a little powerless under Fang Yue's full-strength attack.

The sword energy shadow slashed fiercely on the black shield of the illusory figure, and with a "crack", the shield shattered like glass. The sword energy shadow continued to move forward and slashed directly on the illusory figure.

"Ah!" The illusory figure screamed, and a huge wound appeared on its body, and black smoke continued to pour out of the wound.

"You... you dare to hurt me!" The voice of the illusory figure was full of anger and disbelief.

Fang Yue held a long sword and approached the illusory figure step by step, "Now, it's time to end it all! Tell me, what is your conspiracy? What other tricks do you have? Tell me everything!"

The illusory figure struggled to stand up, but collapsed weakly.

It looked at Fang Yue, with a trace of resentment in its eyes, "Hmph, do you think you can stop everything by defeating me? How ridiculous! The power of darkness is endless, the demonic tide is coming, and both worlds will be swallowed by darkness!"

"Demonic tide? Explain clearly!" Fang Yue's heart tightened, and he stopped and asked.

The illusory figure laughed shrilly and crazy, "Hahaha, what's the harm in telling you? Anyway, you are powerless to change the situation! The demonic tide is rooted in the greed, anger, ignorance, hatred and resentment of all living beings. As long as all living beings have faith and evil thoughts, the demonic tide will be unstoppable!"

Fang Yue frowned, and a chill surged in his heart.

"You mean, as long as there are evil thoughts in the world, the demon tide cannot be stopped?"

The illusory figure laughed wildly, and the sound echoed in this dark space, like the roar of a demon, "That's right! The darkness of people's hearts is endless, just like a hotbed for the demon tide. As long as there is evil thoughts in one person's heart, the foundation of the demon tide will not be shaken, it will continue to accumulate strength, and sooner or later it will sweep everything!"

"Ridiculous!" Fang Yue retorted angrily, "Although there are evil thoughts in people's hearts, there are also kindness, courage and hope. These beautiful qualities will also gather into a powerful force, enough to fight against darkness!"

"Hope? Hahaha!" The illusory figure laughed forward and backward, "That's just your self-deceiving fantasy.

In the face of the absolute power of darkness, the so-called beauty is vulnerable. Look at you now, trapped in this dark palace, unable to protect yourself, what hope can you talk about?"

Fang Yue was furious, but he suppressed his emotions, knowing that he couldn't be angered by the words of the illusory figure at this moment.

He thought calmly, his eyes scanning the illusory figure, trying to find more flaws in the other party.

"Do you think you can shake our faith with these words? It's wishful thinking!"

Fang Yue's voice was calm and powerful, echoing in the darkness, "Today, I will not only defeat you, but also completely crush your dark conspiracy!"

After saying that, Fang Yue's vitality surged crazily and his momentum suddenly increased.

He once again raised the power of the "Heaven and Earth to Unity Sword Technique of Sky-Splitting Slash" to a new level. The light on the long sword became more and more dazzling, as if to tear a hole in the endless darkness.

The illusory figure felt the powerful aura emanating from Fang Yue, and a trace of real fear flashed in his eyes. But it still said stubbornly, "Humph, you can try your best, but I want to see how capable you are!"

Fang Yue said no more, his figure was like lightning, and he instantly rushed towards the illusory figure.

This time, his speed was faster than before, so fast that the illusory figure barely had time to react.

Fang Yue swung the long sword in his hand, and a solid sword energy phantom slashed towards the phantom figure with the power to destroy the world.

The illusory figure was terrified. It moved its hands quickly, trying to condense a more powerful black shield to resist Fang Yue's attack.

However, this time its power seemed so small in front of Fang Yue's full blow.

The shadow of sword energy struck the black shield heavily, and with a "click", the shield was torn apart instantly like fragile tissue paper. The sword energy of the phantom remained unabated and struck directly at the phantom.

"No!" The illusory figure let out a desperate scream. This time, its body was cut in half by the shadow of sword energy, and black smoke poured out of the wound like a raging wave, filling the entire space.

"You... you..." The upper body of the illusory figure was shaky, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, "Even if I die, the demonic tide will come, and you... you can't stop it..."

Fang Yue held a long sword and looked at the illusory figure coldly, "Then we will use actions to prove that your so-called unstoppability is just a dark whisper!"

As time passed, the illusory figure's body gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke and completely disappeared into the air.

"Brother, you are great!" Lei Bao rushed over excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.

Witch Yunshang and the old man from the demon tribe also looked pleased and gathered around.

"Things here are over for now. I'll send you away first." Fang Yue's eyes showed firm determination.

Although now we understand the secret of the demonic tide, it is extremely difficult to solve it.

These monsters must be settled first, and then they can be free to stop the demonic tide.

Although the demonic shadow said that the essence of the demonic tide was rooted in all living beings, it wanted to completely eliminate the demonic tide.

Then all living beings must be destroyed.

If all sentient beings do not exist, then darkness such as greed, anger, stupidity, resentment, etc. will not exist. In this way, the demonic tide will lose its foundation and naturally will not survive.

Of course, Fang Yue knew that the idea of ​​"destroying all sentient beings to extinguish the demonic tide" was extremely absurd.

After he settled the demon clan members, he left alone to find the truth about the demonic tide.

Fang Yue galloped all the way towards the Wei capital.

Along the way, his thoughts were like a tangled mess.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

The threat of the demonic tide shrouded my mind like a haze. Although I was seriously injured, I couldn't care much about it. I could only hope to return to the capital as soon as possible, recuperate my body, and then devote myself to the great cause of stopping the demonic tide.

Finally, the majestic Wei Jingcheng came into view.

At the city gate, the guards stood tall and straight, and when they saw Fang Yue returning, they all showed respect.

Along the way, the familiar streets and bustling market scenes could not dispel the heaviness in his heart.

Fang Yue walked through the bustling streets, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

Although the noise of the outside world tried to intrude on his thoughts, his inner determination was like a rock and remained unmoved.

Fang Yue returned to the mansion and walked straight into his quiet room.

He knew that if he wanted to take a step forward on the difficult road against the demonic tide, he must recover from his injuries as soon as possible and improve his strength. Healing injuries and refining elixirs became his most urgent tasks at the moment.

There was an aura of tranquility in the quiet room.

Fang Yue sat cross-legged on the futon, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the vitality in his body.

He guided the vitality to flow slowly through the meridians in his body, carefully repairing the damaged meridians.

Every operation was accompanied by a heartbreaking pain, but Fang Yue gritted his teeth and persisted with his strong will.

Time passed quietly in silence. Fang Yue was immersed in a state of healing, unaware of everything in the outside world.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but his expression remained calm and unwavering.

After several days of retreat and healing, Fang Yue's injury finally improved significantly.

The damaged meridians gradually healed, and a lot of energy was restored. However, he knew that this was not enough. To deal with the coming demonic crisis, he needed stronger power.

Therefore, Fang Yue decided to refine a pill that could improve his power - Ju Yuan Dan.

In order to refine the Juyuan Pill, Fang Yue asked the housekeeper to collect all the precious medicinal materials in the house, made a list, and sent special personnel to purchase those rare materials.

While waiting for the medicinal materials, Fang Yue carefully studied the ancient books on alchemy again, familiarizing himself with every step and detail to ensure nothing went wrong.

A few days later, all the required medicinal materials were ready.

Fang Yue walked into the alchemy room, which was a spacious and mysterious room. In the center of the room was a huge alchemy furnace, which was engraved with various runes and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Fang Yue wiped the alchemy furnace clean and then lit the flame at the bottom of the furnace.

He carefully controlled the temperature of the flame and put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one in a specific order.

Every time he put in a medicinal material, he concentrated on observing the changes in the furnace and accurately adjusted the temperature according to the color of the flame and the reaction of the medicinal materials.

As the medicinal materials gradually merged in the alchemy furnace, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire alchemy room.

Fang Yue's expression became more and more focused. He knew that the next step was the key to alchemy.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something in his mouth. A stream of vitality was injected from his fingertips into the alchemy furnace, interacting with the medicinal materials in the furnace.

Suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the alchemy furnace, and the flames suddenly jumped up, and the color became brighter.

Fang Yue was delighted, as this was a sign that the pill was about to take shape. But he did not relax at all, and continued to stare at the alchemy furnace, not daring to slack off.

However, just when the pill was about to be completed, an accident happened.

The flame in the alchemy furnace suddenly lost control, the temperature rose sharply, and the furnace body began to shake violently, as if there was a risk of explosion at any time.

Fang Yue was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and tried to stabilize the flame in the furnace with all his strength.

His hands were like lightning, constantly changing the seal method, injecting powerful vitality into the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the flame in the furnace, and with his deep understanding and rich experience in alchemy, he looked for ways to control the flame.

With Fang Yue's efforts, the flame gradually stabilized, and the shaking of the alchemy furnace gradually stopped.

Finally, a crisp sound came from the alchemy furnace, and a Juyuan Pill emitting dazzling light appeared in the furnace.

Fang Yue carefully took out the Juyuan Pill and felt the powerful power contained in the pill.

He knew that this Juyuan Pill embodied his hard work and efforts, and would also become an important aid in his fight against the demonic tide.

After taking the Juyuan Pill, Fang Yue returned to the quiet room to retreat again.

The power of the pill quickly spread in his body, turning into a powerful energy that impacted his meridians and dantian.

Fang Yue guided this energy, allowing it to merge with his own vitality, and constantly improving his skills.

After several days of retreat and practice, Fang Yue finally succeeded in completely absorbing the power of the Juyuan Pill.

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his whole temperament also changed significantly, exuding a more powerful aura. (End of this chapter)
