While the player is in Battle Through the Heavens, the system is in The Great Ruler.

Chapter 119 Two months later, they both broke through!
call out!
Deep within the Netherworld Poison Swamp, the poisonous fog had thickened to almost a liquid state. Lu Yu hovered in mid-air, his purple-gold wings slowly flapping behind him, forcing the surrounding poisonous fog back several feet.

His gaze, sharp as lightning, swept across this forbidden land of death. Within a radius of a hundred feet, not a single blade of grass grew, except for a strange, dark, ink-like flower that stubbornly thrived.

The colors of these flowers blend perfectly with the poisonous swamp; without carefully examining them using one's soul power, their existence would be completely undetectable.

"Swish..."

A faint sound suddenly came from the flower bushes. Countless brightly colored poisonous butterflies emerged from the flower stamens, their wings bearing patterns exactly the same as those of the dark little flowers.

The most eye-catching sight is a giant, dark green poisonous butterfly in the center of the flower field.

It was about the size of a palm, with mysterious flame patterns covering its wings, and a spiritual light dancing in its eerie green compound eyes.

"really……"

Lu Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he thought to himself, "The Netherworld Poison Fire has developed sentience and is manipulating these poisonous butterflies to protect its main body."

As if confirming his guess, the giant butterfly suddenly flapped its wings and took flight!
In an instant, all the poisonous butterflies took to the air, weaving together into a terrifying, eerie green fire net. The once tranquil sea of ​​flowers erupted in chaos, the beautiful blossoms bursting open and spewing out a foul-smelling poisonous miasma.

"boom!"

A storm of eerie green flames swept in, corroding even the space itself with a hissing sound.

At the eye of the storm, a hint of human-like mockery flashed in the compound eyes of the giant butterfly. With a gentle flap of its wings, more poisonous butterflies surged out from the depths of the swamp, forming a vast, fiery cloud.

Lu Yu remained calm and composed, forming hand seals. Three different flames erupted from his body, forming a triple fire shield around him.

"laugh!"

The poisonous fire collided with the strange fire, unleashing a piercing corrosive sound. The three flames—cyan, gold, and dark black—intertwined and swirled, incinerating all the incoming poisonous miasma.

"Now that we've found the right person, there's no need to waste any more time."

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a black pagoda suddenly appeared in his palm. He coldly shouted, "Let me see if your Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Strange Flame Ranking, can withstand the suppression of the pagoda!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and a huge fiery palm print shattered the poisonous flame storm like a tidal wave.

At the same time, he flicked his left finger, and the Floating Pagoda transformed into a black light that shot straight at the giant poisonous butterfly!

A hint of human-like astonishment flashed in the poisonous butterfly's eerie green compound eyes; it clearly hadn't expected this human not only to not flee, but to dare to take the initiative to attack.

It suddenly flapped its wings, and a torrent of eerie green poisonous fire burst forth, instantly forming a poisonous fire tornado that stretched from the sky to the ground!

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar erupted from the pagoda, and a golden fire dragon soared into the sky, its eyes burning with furious flames.

It is the fire of the Buddha!
Seemingly enraged by the provocation of the ghostly poisonous fire, it shattered the eerie green tornado with a flick of its tail. Immediately afterward, the pagoda descended from the sky, firmly imprisoning the poisonous butterfly within.

"Chichi..."

The trapped poisonous butterfly instantly revealed its true form, transforming into a viscous, eerie green flame. This flame was extremely strange, flowing like liquid, even corroding the surrounding space with a hissing sound. It struggled left and right within the tower, but could never break free from the pagoda's confinement.

Lu Yu raised his hand and retrieved the Floating Pagoda, then looked with satisfaction at the Netherworld Poisonous Flame struggling within it, and chuckled, "A strange flame at the peak of the Dou Huang level, that's more than enough..."

Two hours later,
At the edge of the Netherworld Poison Swamp.

Zi Yan kicked pebbles listlessly, occasionally glancing up into the depths of the poisonous swamp.

Little Fairy Doctor clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, her purple eyes filled with worry, and murmured to herself, "Why hasn't Brother Lu returned yet... Could something have happened to him?"

"Don't worry~"

Zi Yan patted Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes, and assured her, "This young lady has a very keen nose; I can clearly smell that guy's scent."

She sniffed and continued, "He's doing very well now, probably..."

Before the words were finished, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the depths of the poisonous swamp!

"Whoosh!" A streak of purple-gold light pierced through the thick fog and arrived in front of the two in an instant.

As the light faded, Lu Yu's tall figure was revealed. A faint smile played on his lips, and a miniature pagoda floated in his palm, within which eerie green flames continued to flicker.

"Awaited."

Lu Yu said softly, his gaze lingering for a moment longer on Little Fairy Doctor's worried face.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

The Little Fairy Doctor's tense expression finally relaxed, and a joyful glint appeared in her purple eyes.

Zi Yan rushed forward and curiously poked the Floating Pagoda: "This is the Netherworld Poison Fire? It doesn't look very impressive~"

Lu Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Once your Little Fairy Doctor refines it, you'll know how powerful it is..."

As he spoke, he handed the Floating Pagoda to Little Fairy Doctor, his expression turning serious: "I have sealed the power of this Netherworld Poison Fire to the level of Dou Wang, but its original energy has not diminished at all. After all, it is a strange fire at the peak of Dou Huang level, so you must be careful when refining it."

He looked around and continued, "The Netherworld Poison Swamp is rich in poisonous energy, which is perfect for you to refine here. If anything goes wrong, you can replenish your energy in time."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

She took the pagoda and stored it inside her own pagoda. Then she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and regulated her breathing to bring herself to her optimal state.

After her breathing stabilized, she took out the Earth Spirit Pill and swallowed it, officially beginning the refining process. A ghostly green flame slowly swirled around her, gradually merging with the toxic energy within her body.

Seeing this, Lu Yu also sat quietly to the side to guard him. He closed his eyes slightly, his internal energy circulating, and he began to silently enter a state of cultivation.

Sunrise and sunset, time flies.

This refining process lasted for a full two months.

On this day, the usually desolate Netherworld Poison Swamp suddenly changed color!

"Boom!"

The poisonous miasma surged violently, forming a massive whirlpool. The toxic water in the swamp boiled and churned, and countless venomous creatures fled in terror. Centered on the seated Little Fairy Doctor, a violent energy storm was forming!
Zi Yan suddenly stood up, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes, and said, "This is..."

Lu Yu opened his eyes, a relieved smile on his face, and said, "It's going to succeed."

A bright, eerie light shone around Little Fairy Doctor, and the previously entwined Netherworld Poison Fire had completely merged into her body. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her once purple pupils now flickering with an eerie, ghostly green flame.

"boom!"

A powerful aura suddenly erupted, causing Little Fairy Doctor's long hair to move without wind and her clothes to flutter. She gently raised her palm, and a wisp of eerie green flame danced at her fingertips, radiating a heart-palpitating energy.

"Three-star Battle Emperor..."

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "The Netherworld Poison Fire and the Calamity Poison Body are indeed a perfect match..."

It's important to understand that even with his spiritual vein talent, two months of arduous training only raised him from the peak of the four-star Dou Huang realm to the seven-star Dou Huang realm. Yet, Little Fairy Doctor was able to break through to the Dou Huang realm directly after refining the strange fire; such progress is truly astonishing.

Before she finished speaking, Little Fairy Doctor abruptly withdrew her aura. She turned her head, a bright smile suddenly blooming on her fair face, her purple eyes sparkling with an unusual light.

"Brother Lu..."

She called out softly, and suddenly leaped towards Lu Yu.

"Hey? Xian'er, you..."

Before Lu Yu could react, a warm, soft body was already in his arms. Little Fairy Doctor buried her face deep against his chest, her voice barely a whisper: "Thank you..."
