How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 371 - 0366 Comprehensive Improvement

Although Chen Yu possessed a mysterious bone sword, its grade was too high for him to use, so he kept it stored in the Smoke-spitting Pearl without touching it.

“I only helped to refine it because of the sword’s potential,” Master Shen said, seeming to have noticed Chen Yu’s thoughts, with a nonchalant tone.

Upon reflection, Chen Yu realized it was indeed the case.

The Giant Ruler Sword was an artifact from Master Shen’s youth; by assisting Chen Yu, he was, to some degree, fulfilling his own regrets.

It wasn’t just about Chen Yu asking Master Shen to help him refine a Spiritual Artifact—there were instructors within the academy whom Master Shen might not necessarily agree to assist.

“The material of this sword hasn’t reached the level of a Spiritual Artifact, but the inscriptions on it are of that caliber. The effects of the inscriptions can endow this heavy sword with a certain gravitational property,” Master Shen said proudly.

“Gravitational properties? Very good, very good!”

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly.

The Giant Ruler Sword was already a heavy weapon by nature. Combined with gravitational properties, its power would greatly increase. If its full potential were unleashed, it could compare to a Spiritual Artifact.

“Master Shen, I take my leave.”

Chen Yu smiled as he left the secret chamber.

“Right, that young man just now, he seemed to be Chen Yu!”

Only then did Master Shen remember Chen Yu’s name, which he had actually heard from a bald elder previously.

“Heh, interesting. The academy’s top champion, it seems next time, I might really have to refine a Spiritual Artifact for him!” Master Shen chuckled to himself.

Though the area for artifact refining was isolated from the academy, a year ago, when Master Shen went out to purchase materials, he happened to hear many people discussing Chen Yu and learned that No Demon Academy had secured first place in the academy competition.

The top champion of the academy competition was almost the icon of Yun Zhao Country’s top geniuses. Perhaps it would not be long before Chen Yu achieved great success, and by then, Master Shen might really have to refine an artifact for him.

Outside, several artifact refiners looked at Chen Yu with curiosity, eager to find out what kind of treasure Master Shen had crafted for him.

After leaving the area of intense artifact refining, Chen Yu went to the cultivation tower and rented a private training area.

Boom! The giant sword swept through the air, dragging a layer of shadow behind it, as if wrapped in a faint, dark gravitational field. Each sweep stirred up a fierce wind.

Chen Yu spent some time getting accustomed to the completely new Giant Ruler Sword.

Once familiar, Chen Yu integrated it into his sword moves.

Instantly, an enormous amount of Demonic Qi emanated from the Giant Ruler Sword, spreading out like a cloud of shadow enveloping the area in front of him.

Boom! A loud explosion sounded, and the floor of the training room was shattered, leaving a wide and shallow pit.

The special training chamber Chen Yu had rented was reinforced with an array, but a single sword stroke fueled by the Demon True Qi easily damaged the secret chamber.

Next, Chen Yu switched to a higher-grade training chamber to practice his sword techniques.

Half a month later, Chen Yu visited the Demonic Qi pool to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.

Once this Cultivation Technique reached the third level of Great Success, the improvement became increasingly difficult and slow; ordinary elixirs for demonic cultivation were of little help.

Thus, Chen Yu’s life within the academy involved traveling back and forth between the training chamber and the Demonic Qi pool.

A year flew by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Chen Yu’s cultivation and techniques didn’t show any significant improvement, but all aspects of his skills had become extremely solid, hitting a bottleneck.

Now, a little more than a month remained until his five-year agreement with Ye Luofeng.

“The third level of the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record is almost complete; it’s time to visit the ancient ruins.”

Originally, for winning first place, Chen Yu had been awarded ten days of study time in the ancient ruins, valid for five years.

In time, Chen Yu would be leaving Yun Zhao Country, and not knowing when he might return, he certainly could not waste those ten days in the ruins.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Chen Yu set off alone.

Half a day later, he smoothly arrived at Tianhe Prefecture’s Royal City’s Ancient Transmission Array. After paying with Primordial Stones, he was teleported to Yunyang Holy Mansion.

An officer responsible for activating the array glanced briefly, then took out a black Token from his storage bag, sending out a message: “Chen Yu has emerged.”

Meanwhile, Chen Yu arrived at the imperial palace, declared his identity and purpose, and, escorted by the guards through several checkpoints, finally made his way to the location of the ancient ruins.

Chen Yu was once again entering the ancient ruins left behind by Ghost Bone Demon Venerable.

The entire space was shrouded in a gray haze, exuding an aura of ancient desolation. A terrifying demonic will that seemed capable of shaking the heavens pressed down on Chen Yu.

Even the current Chen Yu felt his soul tremble from the impact of that demonic will, somewhat affecting him.

Chen Yu immediately activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body while channeling Demon True Qi. Inside his spiritual consciousness, a powerful demonic will also emerged, counteracting the pressure.

Only in this way could he remain stable within this piece of ancient ruins.

Here, not only would the speed of his Cultivation Technique’s training increase, but his spiritual willpower would also be tempered.

Furthermore, the entire space was permeated with profound demonic intent. If he could comprehend even a fraction of it, his achievements in the way of demons would be higher, and he would go further.

“Time is limited; I must seize every moment!”

Chen Yu promptly sat down cross-legged.

He gathered his concentration and began to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record. The power of demons from heaven and earth was swiftly absorbed into Chen Yu’s body.

At the same time, he opened up his spiritual will, feeling the force of the demonic intent throughout the cosmos.

Two days later.

Chen Yu’s spiritual power solidified at the early stage of the Guiyuan Realm and was slightly stronger than the spiritual power of others at the same stage.

Nine days later, Chen Yu’s “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” reached its peak at the third level.

Boom!

Chen Yu’s body erupted with a powerful surge of demonic pattern Qi, exuding a faintly domineering demonic intent that seemed to chill the world.

The breakthrough in his cultivation technique enabled his cultivation level to smoothly advance to the peak of the Late Innate Stage, drawing him ever closer to the Guiyuan Realm.

Of course, Chen Yu knew that his talent for cultivation was poor and even with the aid of Origin Transformation Pills, advancing to the Guiyuan Realm was not something to be taken lightly; thorough preparation was needed.

He spent the remaining day to consolidate his cultivation level.

“With my current level of strength, returning to Chu Country, there would be almost no one who could pose a threat to me.”

Chen Yu clenched his fist and smiled confidently.

Soon, the time to explore the ancient ruins arrived.

“If one could always comprehend within the ancient ruins, then the speed of cultivation level improvement would definitely be swift,” Chen Yu exclaimed with some regret.

Unfortunately, every bit of power and comprehension gleaned within the ruins meant that the overall energy of the entire ruins was diminished.

Therefore, the time awarded by the Imperial Family to comprehend the ancient ruins was relatively brief.

Leaving the imperial palace, Chen Yu headed to the ancient transmission array to return to Tianhe Prefecture.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu immediately leapt up, hurrying on his way.

As he passed through a desolate wilderness,

“Someone there?”

Chen Yu’s keen spiritual sense detected an anomaly in the surroundings.

“Haha, worthy of being the champion of the last grand tournament, you’ve actually noticed me already.”

From behind a large stone not far away, a loud laugh echoed.

Boom-bang!

A loud crashing noise erupted, and a mass of dark purple luminescence surrounded the large stone, which flew rapidly towards Chen Yu.

“Guiyuan Realm!”

Chen Yu felt the power of True Essence, but at that moment, his two years of intensive cultivation had significantly improved his strength compared to before.

Bang!

Black demonic light blossomed on Chen Yu’s body, with a layer of black inscriptions appearing faintly visible. Mobilizing the Qi of the demonic patterns, he threw a punch that instantly shattered the giant stone into countless pieces.

In the moment the stone burst, a black shadow suddenly flew out from within, a thin sword appearing in hand. The tip of the sword gleamed coldly as it pierced silently towards him.

“Two people!”

Chen Yu was slightly startled inside.

Their ambush techniques were exceedingly clever.

For an average person at the Guiyuan Realm level, such a situation would likely result in death or severe injury.

Because the emergence of the black-clothed figure from the stone was just too sudden.

Chen Yu immediately took out the Giant Ruler Sword from the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

The broad and dark blade suddenly unleashed a powerful surge of Demon True Qi. At the same time, the Giant Ruler Sword’s attribute of gravity activated, and an invisible gravitational field enveloped his surroundings.

The assassin in black was affected by the sudden appearance of the gravitational field and his speed slowed for a moment.

Boom!

Chen Yu, gripping the sword with both arms, swung fiercely and a massive dark cloud of demonic patterns whooshed by.

Although the assassin was swift, the Giant Ruler Sword’s wide attack range meant that a swathe of the dark cloud tore a piece of black cloth from his arm.

“A Spiritual Artifact?”

The black-clothed figure was taken aback.

Not every Guiyuan Realm cultivator necessarily possessed a Spiritual Artifact, and Chen Yu, who hadn’t yet reached the Guiyuan Realm and had chosen a support Spiritual Artifact in the competition, now had an offensive Spiritual Artifact?

In truth, Chen Yu’s Giant Ruler Sword was merely an exceptional king-grade treasure, but it was so close to a Spiritual Artifact, especially with its special properties, that it was mistaken for one.

“Since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving.”

Chen Yu charged forward immediately, sweeping the Giant Ruler Sword again, pressing the assassin.

Now, Chen Yu’s speed was no slower than the assassin’s, and coupled with the Giant Ruler Sword’s broad range, it was exceedingly difficult for the assassin to dodge. In a short time, three wounds were left on his body.

“How has this boy grown so powerful so quickly?”

The black-clothed figure was extremely astonished.

“Let’s join forces and eliminate him.”

A purple-robed middle-aged man swooped in, striking with a purple light from his palm.

Boom!

The purple-robed man’s strength, at the peak of the early Guiyuan Realm, made his palm strike exceptional.

However, Chen Yu was not the least bit intimidated. Demonic patterns surged on his right arm, and he struck forward with a claw wrapped in a mix of Demonic Qi and a touch of Half-step True Essence.

Crack!

Immediately, the purple light was shattered by a claw that seemed both ancient and tyrannical. The residual waves of this strike hit the chest of the purple-robed man.

Fortunately, the man was wearing protective inner armor and was not seriously harmed.

“It’s only been two years, and his strength is this formidable?” The purple-robed man was filled with indignation and unwillingness.

He had only recently advanced to the peak of the early Guiyuan Realm, and the assassin at the early Guiyuan Realm even had a record of injuring those at the peak of the early Guiyuan Realm.

Yet now, the two of them were being repelled by a mere youngster at the peak of the Innate Stage.

However, so far they had faced Chen Yu one by one. If they joined forces, they would surely be able to kill him.

Just at this moment, three figures rushed out from behind.

“The audacity! Daring to lay hands on a student from the No Demon Academy!”

The man leading the trio, dressed in black, was none other than the Blood Slaughter Institute instructor, Liu Xuanzong.
