Immortals Step into Heaven

The fireball radiated a blazing heat. Zheng Yuan felt a wave of fear, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. If he got hit by it, he would be seriously injured, if not killed.

The eyes of the demon cultivator flying in the air with a sword flashed with ferocity and determination. He released several fireballs again, which hit Zheng Yuan like flaming meteors.

The fireball streaked across the sky, leaving behind a trail of scorching heat, and the air seemed to be distorted by the burning.

Zheng Yuan saw several fireballs coming at him swiftly, his face darkening, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. Without hesitation, he immediately used the Earth Escape Technique, burrowing into the ground again to avoid the deadly attack.

There was a loud bang as the fireballs slammed into the ground. The powerful impact caused the earth to tremble violently, and the surrounding soil and rocks were blown away.

Zheng Yuan, lying underground, felt as if a huge drum were roaring in his ears. The deafening sound made his head buzz and his chest feel heavy.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful shock force was transmitted through the soil. He had no time to react and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Under this powerful impact, he was nearly thrown out of the ground, his body ripping apart in agony. Zheng Yuan endured the discomfort and tried to calm his mind. He then retreated underground.

Zheng Yuan was filled with confusion and unease. He had never imagined that a demon cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage would hunt him down. He had originally expected only those at the Perfect Qi Refining stage to be the ones pursuing him relentlessly. Now, this sudden turn of events had him perplexed.

He kept thinking, what went wrong?

Why would a strong person in the Foundation Establishment Stage get involved?

All kinds of questions swirled in his mind, but he couldn't find a definite answer.

His situation was even more dangerous at the moment, and he had to come up with a plan to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be bad when he escaped from the ground. After all, the distance of the earth escape technique was limited. If the demon cultivator in the foundation-building stage could catch up with him once, it would not be surprising if he could catch up a second time.

This kid's reaction was pretty quick. The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. He was angry because Zheng Yuan repeatedly escaped his attacks.

Without a pause, he swiftly pursued Zheng Yuan. His figure was like a black phantom, tracing a graceful arc across the sky. The flying sword beneath his feet flashed with an icy light as he sped away at an extremely fast speed.

The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator closely sensed the direction in which Zheng Yuan fled, a ruthless look in his eyes. He couldn't let Zheng Yuan escape any further and had to deal with him as soon as possible.

He reached out and took out a top-grade magical flying sword from his storage bag. The flying sword was shining with black light and exuded a powerful aura.

The demon cultivator gripped the hilt tightly, feeling the cold touch of the flying sword, secretly planning to wait for Zheng Yuan to emerge from the ground, and then completely eliminate him with a single strike. A sneer appeared on his lips, as if he had already seen the scene of Zheng Yuan being beheaded.

Dozens of miles away, Zheng Yuan emerged from the ground. He knew his situation was extremely dangerous and that if he wasn't careful, he could die.

As soon as it was unearthed, he immediately took out the Earth Spirit Pearl from his storage bag and held it tightly in his hand. The Earth Spirit Pearl emitted a faint earthy yellow light, which brought Zheng Yuan a sense of security.

Meanwhile, the demon cultivator, soaring through the air on his sword, had been closely monitoring the surrounding movements. The moment he saw Zheng Yuan emerge from the ground, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he thrust his supreme magical weapon at Zheng Yuan at top speed. Like a bolt of lightning, the weapon pierced the sky, bearing a fierce aura as it charged towards Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan was unable to dodge and was hit by the sword. He was blown away dozens of feet and fell to the ground. A moment later, Zheng Yuan disappeared. A bloody sword was left on the ground.

The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator watched helplessly as Zheng Yuan fell to the ground after being struck by the flying sword, and then disappeared in an instant. He was suddenly shocked, never expecting that this boy was actually a Body Refining Cultivator.

He recalled the flying sword, and it returned to his hand. Just as he was about to chase after Zheng Yuan, he suddenly found that his spiritual sense could no longer sense Zheng Yuan.

His expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and a strong anger surged in his heart. He was a dignified Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivator, but a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage had actually escaped from his hands. This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Zheng Yuan clutched the Earth Spirit Pearl tightly beneath the ground and immediately felt a strange power coursing through him. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that his escape speed had doubled. The Earth Spirit Pearl was truly miraculous, giving him a glimmer of hope in this critical moment.

When he emerged from the earth again, he wasn't attacked again, as he'd feared. He breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing a bit. However, he knew it wasn't a good place to stay for long; the Foundation Establishment cultivator could come back at any moment.

So, without hesitation, he used the Earth Escape Technique again, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. Zheng Yuan had only one thought in his mind, which was to escape as far away as possible.

A hundred miles away, Zheng Yuan stopped in a secluded cave. He sat in the cave, his face pale, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He slowly lowered his head to look at the wound on his body, and saw that his entire shoulder had been pierced by the flying sword. The wound was bloody and horrifying.

Zheng Yuan felt waves of ripping pain in his shoulder, the pain like countless steel needles pricking his nerves. He clenched his teeth, enduring the pain, trying not to utter a groan of pain, while his internal organs also ached with a dull ache.

Zheng Yuan hurriedly pulled a bottle of healing pills from his storage bag. He quickly uncorked the bottle and poured the contents into his mouth. As the plump pills entered his mouth, Zheng Yuan hoped they would take effect quickly and alleviate his pain.

His injuries were so severe that after the pill entered his stomach, an intense feeling of fatigue instantly hit him. Zheng Yuan felt his vision go black before he fainted uncontrollably.

Liu Shi returned to Danqing Sect with a solemn expression. He hurried to find the Sect Master, Dan Daozi.

Dan Daozi felt nervous when he saw Liu Shi’s anxious expression. Wasn’t Junior Brother Liu guarding the spirit stone mine?

Why are you back? Did something happen at the spirit stone mine?

Liu Shi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to explain in detail the situation of the spirit stone mine being attacked by the evil cultivators.

Dan Qingzi's fury instantly rose when he heard Liu Shi's words. He clenched his fists. These demonic cultivators were truly audacious. They had the audacity to attack the Dan Qing Sect's spirit stone mines. This clearly showed that they didn't take his Dan Qing Sect seriously!

As the leader of a sect, Dan Qingzi quickly suppressed the anger in his heart.
