After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

Huo Yu's remaining consciousness in the direction of the hall quickly sensed that Huang Xiao was chasing after him.

His eyes flashed, and he quickly summoned the hybrid grain dragon, leaving the unconscious Long Yucheng to it.

The mixed-breed dragon, with Long Yucheng's collar in its mouth, instantly transformed into a streak of light and sped off forward.

Huo Yu then turned and flew in another direction.

As expected, Huang Xiao ignored Long Yucheng and headed straight for Huo Yu.

When Huo Yufei reached a fork in the road, he stopped and turned to face the black-haired youth who was now very close. His face showed no emotion whatsoever.

At this moment, Huang Xiao had already transformed into a figure dressed in black, leisurely following behind Huo Yu, but his speed was a fraction faster than Huo Yu's.

He originally wanted to play the cat-and-mouse game a little longer, but unexpectedly, the prey stopped on its own.

Huang Xiao thought that this Foundation Establishment cultivator had been scared out of his wits and had given up on his futile struggle.

However, Huo Yu's face did not show any despair, but instead revealed an eerie calmness.

Huang Xiao was very curious. He carefully examined Huo Yu for a few moments and finally figured out what was going on.

"As expected, I was right to give up that avatar. I originally just thought the consciousness of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator was a bit strange, but I never expected it to be a remnant soul of a Mahayana cultivator who had possessed someone else!"

Huang Xiao couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Although the soul of a Mahayana cultivator looks broken and dilapidated at this moment, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still much stronger than the external avatar of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, he had not devoured the soul of a Mahayana cultivator for ten thousand years, and had almost forgotten the wonderful taste.

Unexpectedly, right after escaping, they encountered a weak and exhausted Mahayana spirit who offered itself up to them.

Huo Yu, however, showed no fear. He coldly watched as the ghostly claws behind Huang Xiao reached for him, and slowly uttered four words:

“Tianyang arrives at Ning.”

As these four words were spoken in sequence, a huge phantom of a sun suddenly appeared behind Huo Yu, its dazzling light instantly illuminating the entire passage, as if even the space itself was being purified by this light.

Just as Huangxiao's ghostly claws were about to touch Huo Yu, they were completely exposed to the scorching sunlight emanating from the sun's phantom.

The ghostly claw formed from the dense black energy was faintly showing signs of being scorched amidst the golden light!

The Emperor Xiao was shocked and hurriedly recalled the Ghost Claw. However, some of the black smoke was still evaporated by the sunlight, and the Ghost Claw no longer looked as solid as before.

"The Dao Intent!"

Huang Xiao gritted his teeth as he stared at the illusory image of the celestial sun behind Huo Yu. He had been suppressed for nearly ten thousand years and had actually forgotten the troublesome Dao intent of human Mahayana cultivators.

The so-called Dao Intent is a unique supernatural power possessed by human cultivators.

Everything in the world has its own path to immortality. The three races of humans, demons, and monsters not only have different cultivation methods, but also ascend to different immortal realms.

The demon race cultivates spirituality, while the demon race refines their bodies; both races possess innate supernatural abilities.

Human cultivators are completely different from the other two. They do not have innate supernatural powers, but rely on enlightenment to attain immortality.

Dao Intent refers to the acquired supernatural abilities that human cultivators develop during this process.

Every human cultivator plants the seed of their Dao heart the moment they embark on the path of cultivation. The thousands of years of cultivation that follow not only increase their spiritual power but also solidify their Dao heart.

The Tao manifests in countless forms, and each person chooses a different path. Only by having unwavering faith in one's chosen path and embodying the Tao in one's mind can one enter the Mahayana stage.

The path Huo Yu followed was naturally the path of Yan.

The ultimate form of heat is Yang.

Huo Yu had already vaguely touched the threshold of the Dao when he entered the Nascent Soul stage.

At the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was able to condense a concrete Dao intent. Such talent was unmatched in the cultivation world.

However, in his previous life, Huo Yu's Dao heart was damaged due to breaking his oath. Although he eventually broke through to the Mahayana stage, his Dao intent was always flawed, which became one of his few weaknesses.

Therefore, Huo Yu never easily reveals his Dao intent when facing an enemy.

In his previous life, Huo Yu had already paid the price of his life for breaking his oath. In this life, Bai Xue had not yet died at his hands, so his Dao heart was not damaged. At this moment, his Dao intent was perfect!

Although Huo Yu is currently limited to the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, his Heavenly Yang Supreme Tranquility Dao Intent is empty of meaning and has no physical form. However, the sun is the most yang and righteous thing, and it is naturally able to restrain ghosts and evil spirits.

During the previous chaotic battle, Huo Yu had noticed that Huang Xiao's black aura was afraid of his flames, the reason being the trace of Dao intent contained in Huo Yu's flames.

His supremely righteous and yang Daoist intent is precisely the nemesis of Huangxiao!

The situation on the field reversed instantly. Huang Xiao, wary of the Dao intent that specifically countered his innate divine power, dared not act recklessly anymore.

Huo Yu's Heavenly Sun Supreme Dao Intent is imaginative but lacks any real offensive power.

For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate in the narrow passage.

Huang Xiao's expression was slightly gloomy. If he were at his peak, this Dao intent, which only had the meaning but no real attack power, would be as fragile as paper to him and easily defeated.

However, at this moment, this Dao intent was quite troublesome for him, but he was unwilling to easily give up the Mahayana divine soul that he coveted so much.

For a moment, he was like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog, unable to find a way to attack and caught in a dilemma.

Huo Yu was not one to sit idly by and wait for his death. Beneath his wide Taoist robe, his left hand was rapidly forming a hand seal, a spell he had never used in either of his two lifetimes was quietly taking shape, ready to be unleashed.

Just then, two unexpected figures burst into the battlefield: the Taoist from the Divine Sword Sect and the burly man from the Beast Taming Valley who had been chasing after them!

The middle-aged Taoist from the Divine Sword Sect had clearly suffered a lot under the fierce attack of the berserk Beast Taming Valley man. His escape light flickered erratically, and he looked quite disheveled.

He had no idea he would encounter the Royal Demon here. Terrified, he turned and ran, only to be blocked by the burly man from Beast Taming Valley who had completely lost his mind.

In despair, he infused his mouth with spiritual energy and roared:

"If you don't wake up soon, your cultivation will become that demon's wedding gown, just like mine!"

Under the reprimand amplified by the Taoist priest of the Divine Sword Sect's Heart-Cleansing Technique, a hint of struggle flashed in the eyes of the burly man from Beast Taming Valley, but it vanished in an instant.

Upon witnessing this scene, the middle-aged cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect felt utterly despondent. He sighed inwardly, lamenting that he had suppressed his cultivation for ten years without breaking through to the Core Formation stage, all for the sake of the Demon God Palace recorded in the sect's secret manual, only to end up like this.

Overwhelmed with grief, he even felt a faint glimmer of the potential to form his core!

Huang Xiao originally intended to take this person's Dao foundation first, but upon seeing this, his eyes lit up. Then he looked up again and snorted coldly.

The rules of heaven and earth that had just appeared above the head of the Divine Sword Sect Taoist vanished completely!

After casually dispelling the restriction that had the power to annihilate cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, Huang Xiao turned and rushed towards the burly man from the Beast Taming Valley behind the Divine Sword Sect Daoist, intending to eat this one first.

As for that Daoist from the Divine Sword Sect, let him focus on his Core Formation attempt. Once his Core is formed, he can kill someone and take it.
