How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 440 - 0435: Formidable Enemy Attacks

"You attacked the Landing Tribe?"

Ye Luofeng’s face showed an expression of shock as she stared intently at Chen Yu.

Before departing, Chen Yu had not told Ye Luofeng the real purpose of his trip.

It was only after his return, when Ye Luofeng heard numerous discussions, that she came to know everything.

At that time, her mind was stunned, and she didn’t know what to feel—there was shock, anxiety, and anger.

The shock was certainly because Chen Yu was so daring as to boldly venture into the tiger’s den and attack one of the nine great tribes, the Landing Tribe.

As for the anxiety, it was actually worry, even though Chen Yu had returned alive.

And the anger was because Chen Yu had not told her, not taken her along...

She was not a spy for the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes, so why not tell her?

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded, very pleased.

The attack had gone smoothly, and the spoils were rich, and he had returned unscathed.

Needless to say, the Red Flame King would definitely be able to break through to the Guiyuan Realm, and as for the Iron Moon Strange Insect, those Elixirs and Spirit Pills were useless to it, and it would need more time to break through.

"These Elixirs should be useful to you."

Thinking of something, Chen Yu took out several bottles of Elixirs from the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

Among these were those that healed injuries as well as ones that promoted cultivation.

Ye Luofeng took the Elixirs, and the sullen mood in her heart slowly dissipated.

"In the future, don’t forget about me in such good opportunities." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ye Luofeng glared at Chen Yu and then left with the Elixirs.

Chen Yu smiled, walked into the house, and then headed to the secret chamber to check on the Red Flame King.

At the moment, the Red Flame King was attentively preparing a medicinal liquid.

"Don’t worry, the medicinal liquid will be ready soon, and it won’t take long to absorb its effects," the Red Flame King said with a wide grin.

Chen Yu was also looking forward to it—just how formidable was a Holy Beast’s bloodline?

However, since he could not understand, he simply started closed-door cultivation.

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was too low for cultivation, so Chen Yu took out a blood-red gem that emitted a high temperature, as if it had just been taken out of a fire.

This gem was the "Blood Sun Stone" that he had bid on at the Three Kingdoms Auction, bought almost foolishly from Yan Country.

"Flame Spirit!"

Chen Yu called out to the Flame Spirit.

Refining the "Blood Sun Stone" was not complicated; it could do it on its own.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu would be responsible for refining more "Blood Crystal Flame." He estimated that once his cultivation reached the Early Guiyuan Realm, he should be able to take all of the "Blood Crystal Flame" for his own use.

Thus, he and the Flame Spirit divided the work, one refining and absorbing the Blood Sun Stone, and the other refining the "Blood Crystal Flame."

If the former was successful, it would enhance the power of the "Blood Crystal Flame," while the latter would increase the quantity of the "Blood Crystal Flame" available for use, allowing for sustained and prolonged use in battle.

After breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, his refining speed became much faster. Coupled with the accumulations over many years, in less than two hours, the degree of refinement of the "Blood Crystal Flame" reached eighty percent and continued to slowly increase.

The Flame Spirit controlled the "Blood Crystal Flame" to devour the Blood Sun Stone at a fast pace, as the "Blood Crystal Flame" itself was of an extremely high level with a strong absorption capability.

On the other side, the Red Flame King had already ingested the prepared medicinal liquid.

At this moment, he completely opened up his bloodline and fully activated it, his body reddish like a gemstone, with his inner meridians flickering with scarlet light.

All over his body, numerous small flames appeared, and the scorching heat of the flames made the entire secret chamber extraordinarily hot.

Fortunately, Chen Yu’s physical body was strong, otherwise, an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm cultivator would hardly be able to bear it, let alone a Postnatal Qi Transformation cultivator who might get roasted after just a while.

At the same time, the power radiating from the Clan Leader’s bloodline fluctuated, becoming stronger at times and then weaker.

Thump, thump! Thump, thump!

Chen Yu’s heart suddenly started to beat, creating a strange attraction.

The Fire Scale Beast’s bloodline was extraordinary and was currently awakening, becoming stronger—this bloodline was now stronger than the Dragon Scale Bloodline in Chen Yu’s body and had a great attraction to the mysterious heart.

Meanwhile, the Red Flame King, who was absorbing the effects of the medicine, seemed to sense something and frowned.

"I’d better leave first, or who knows what might happen."

Chen Yu immediately got up and left the secret chamber.

That "Eternal Heart" was too mysterious, and its capabilities were beyond imagination. If it caused the Red Flame King’s bloodline awakening to fail, that would be regrettable.

Chen Yu had spent a long time collecting those precious materials, and the Dragon Scale Blood Flame Pill looked very valuable—probably hard to find a second one. If all of these were wasted, he would feel the pinch.

Upon leaving the secret chamber, Chen Yu cultivated in his own house, which did not have an isolating effect. The powerful force of the Blood Flame made those within several dozen yards of Chen Yu’s residence inexplicably palpitate with fear.

After a while, Chen Yu suddenly sensed a strong bloodline aura.

"Even through the secret chamber, I can feel it."

Chen Yu exclaimed in wonder.

Normally during cultivation, there would be no sensation outside the chamber, except when breaking through cultivation, connecting with heaven and earth, and forming phenomena.

"Commander Chen!"

Suddenly, a hurried call came from outside the door.

From the voice, Chen Yu knew it was Deputy Commander Wei.

"What’s the matter?"

Chen Yu asked, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"The enemy is here!"

Deputy Commander Wei’s voice was slightly trembling.

"So soon?"

Chen Yu was a bit surprised.

Logically, assembling troops would take some time; the enemy definitely went to the Landing Tribe first, saw the war was over, and then hurried back to launch the attack. It shouldn’t have been so quick.

Swoosh!

The palace door opened, and Chen Yu darted out.

"How’s the situation?"

Chen Yu asked as he rushed towards the city wall.

"Very bad, as bad as it gets!"

Deputy Commander Wei sounded as if he had lost his soul, very nervous.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed into the distance, and before long, he saw a shadowy figure.

The number of the approaching enemies was not large, but Chen Yu sensed several strong auras.

"Three Guiyuan Realm, and one Ancient Beast!"

Chen Yu was also taken aback.

The opponent had hardly mobilized any troops, because they had a greater number of Guǐyuán Realm powerhouses.

With the speed of the Guǐyuán Realm, they simply had insufficient time to evacuate completely; otherwise, Deputy Commander Wei would have led his men to escape long ago. Now, his hopes were pinned on Chen Yu, hoping that Chen Yu would have a solution.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground quaked, and a series of loud noises startled everyone within the city walls.

Everyone came out to see the situation in the distance, causing many faces to suddenly turn deathly pale.

"That... is an Ancient Giant Elephant, the mount of the Mantu Clan Chief!"

Someone’s teeth chattered with fear.

"No, that elderly man is not the Mantu Clan Chief but a senior elder of the Mantu Tribe, Liu Yuan!"

"Even if he’s not the Clan Chief, with his strength, plus the Ancient Giant Elephant, he could easily level this place to the ground!"

At this moment, the morale of the crowd plummeted, and many showed expressions of despair.

Many even regretted having attacked the Landing Tribe; had they not done so, they wouldn’t have provoked the ire of the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes.

Following their outrage, the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes had mobilized such a terrifying force; it seemed they were intent on teaching Chu Country a bloody lesson.

"So it was you bandits who broke through the Landing Tribe?"

A red-haired elder bellowed, his fiery red, aged hair lifting and billowing.

"Chen Yu?"

From atop the Ancient Giant Elephant, Liu Yuan’s calm and cold gaze swept over and landed on Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was the only one at the Guǐyuán Realm present, and his image matched the rumors about him.

At this moment, the terrifying pressure released by three enemy Guǐyuán Realm experts, along with an ancient beast, was like divine might, suffocating everyone inside the city and causing them to unconsciously succumb to terror.

Swoosh!

A white figure swept to Chen Yu’s side, transforming into a figure dressed in white—it was Ye Luofeng.

Upon viewing the current situation, her cold, porcelain face also turned grim.

"I didn’t expect you to be so fast."

Chen Yu spoke indifferently.

"Hehe, if it weren’t for Chu Country’s main camp suddenly exerting force and holding back our experts, you would have had no possibility of returning here, probably dead by now."

The blue-clad old woman laughed with a hint of charm.

Chen Yu’s actions had created quite the stir, enraging the tribes greatly.

Thus, Chu Country’s main camp also became aware of this fact.

Now, Chen Yu was extremely important to them, not only for his formidable strength but also as a symbol of spirit, his importance nearing that of Meng Chixiong of the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes.

That was why Chu Country’s main camp exerted force to restrain the enemy’s forces.

Otherwise, the several large tribes would surely mobilize to intercept Chen Yu’s army, and the chance of a safe return for them would be very low.

"So that’s how it is..."

Chen Yu appeared thoughtful.

He hadn’t anticipated this; perhaps he had underestimated his own influence.

Furthermore, once Chen Yu succeeded, it would be a heavy blow to the Snow Mountain Nine Tribes. The Three Kingdoms of the south also hoped for his success, hence they provided unstinting assistance to him.

"Chen Yu, I will make your life worse than death."

The red-haired elder glared at Chen Yu, knowing that it was this young man who had broken through the Landing Tribe.

This time, the Landing Tribe suffered an unprecedented hit in both manpower and resources, with almost no chance of rebuilding, and they would have to merge with other tribes.

Describing this hatred with the phrase "as deep as a sea of blood" would not be an overstatement.

"No need to surrender; kill them all."

Liu Yuan’s calm voice carried across, as if discussing a profoundly ordinary matter.

"Not even a chance to surrender? If I joined the Snow Mountain Tribe, wouldn’t your chances of victory be greater?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile, his tone suggesting a negotiation.

In reality, Chen Yu was biding time.

He had the ability to escape, but everyone else here would die.

Even if he fought, he and Ye Luofeng together would find it somewhat difficult to cope.

However, if the Red Flame King were to awaken his bloodline or experience a breakthrough in cultivation, then the outcome would be completely different.

He was exchanging frivolous words with the enemy now, just to buy time for the Red Flame King.

"Having killed so many from our tribes, you deserve a myriad of deaths and cannot be pardoned. The Snow Mountain Tribe will not let you live!"

The red-haired elder immediately shouted.

He truly feared that Liu Yuan would accept Chen Yu’s surrender.

At that moment, within the seclusion chamber of the Red Flame King, a powerful aura of the Fire Dao Bloodline spread out, stirring the heavens and earth.

"Hmm?"

Liu Yuan’s gaze flickered with a trace of surprise.

This bloodline aura was extraordinary; the Ancient Giant Elephant under him gave a slight shudder and turned its gaze intent upon the source.

"This boy is buying time."

Liu Yuan’s eyes turned fierce, and he suddenly stood up and bellowed, "Kill, leave none alive!"

"Activate the City Protection Array!"

Deputy Commander Wei urgently called out.

Humming!

An energy fluctuation arose around the city.

Suddenly, a layer of white light shield rose up, forming a massive barrier that covered the entire city.

This city’s protective array was not as strong as that of the Landing Tribe’s Clan Protection Array; its limit was resisting attacks from those at the Early Guǐyuán Realm.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Ancient Giant Elephant suddenly charged, each step making the ground tremble, its power terrifying.

As the Ancient Giant Elephant charged forward with a fierce momentum, stirring up violent winds, its massive and aged tusks struck with force.

"I’m afraid this strike alone could break through the City Protection Array!"

Chen Yu’s heart tightened.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu leapt out, leaving the range of the City Protection Array and stood in the path of the Ancient Giant Elephant.

"Hahaha, knowing there’s no escape, so you seek a swift death, is that it?"

Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes, laughing loudly.

This Ancient Giant Elephant possessed the cultivation level of an Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, immensely strong, with the power to shatter mountains in a frontal charge.
