The First Year

Fire Buddha's face was bloodless.

A hole had been blasted through his chest.

But he was, after all, at the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage. Having cast aside his human form, his fleshly body was like that of a demon, capable of regenerating flesh and blood.

In his pitch-black chest, flesh and blood writhed, slowly beginning to heal.

But in the next instant, Fire Buddha's pupils contracted.

His flesh had only writhed halfway before it fell completely dead, utterly unable to heal.

It seemed that the fused fire spirit power had thoroughly incinerated his life force. Even the evil power in his body had been burned to death on the level of "spirit power."

Fire Buddha's pupils shook violently.

"What kind of spell... is this?"

At the same time, the faint flames produced by the fused little Fireball completely dissipated.

Within Fire Buddha's chest, two Evil Artifact "hearts" were exposed.

These were the core of Fire Buddha's Meteor Fire Forbidden Technique, the Natal Magic Treasure Embryos he had nurtured, and the foundation upon which he would advance to Golden Core.

These two hearts were incomparably precious Demonic Path Evil Artifacts.

Yet now, those two hearts had been blasted pitch-black and utterly dull by that unknown, terrifying spell.

Even as they trembled, they did so feebly.

Fire Buddha was terrified beyond measure.

If he did not restore his flesh and continue nurturing those two magic treasure embryos, not only would breaking through to Golden Core be forever beyond hope in this life, he might even die here in Qingcheng Mountain.

Fire Buddha's hand trembled as he tried to take out more Pills...

Just then, Gu Changhuai, having recovered from the shock brought by that unimaginable spell, swiftly used up all his remaining spirit power and immediately sent out two more Wind Blades.
