Eternal Heart
Chapter 830: Tragic Black Toad Fish

"Dead!"

Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The Half-step Bloodline King hidden among humans ambushed Chen Yu and others, forcing Chen Yu to use powerful trump cards.

In the end, this Half-step Bloodline King paid the price with his life.

"What is that?"

Chen Yu saw a blue bead drop from the ashes of the corpse.

Swish!

In a flash, he moved over and caught the bead.

"It’s actually his storage space!"

As a member of the Blood People Clan, he kept his storage space in the safest place within his body.

Because of this, although the Half-step Bloodline King was annihilated in one blow, the storage space was preserved.

"I wonder what treasures are in this Half-step Bloodline King’s storage space?"

Chen Yu’s eyes glimmered with excitement.

However, this storage space was refined by someone else, and its spiritual mark needed to be erased before it could be opened.

Chen Yu wasn’t in a rush. Even if the other person were a powerful Half-step Condensing Star Realm, he could erase the mark and open the storage space with some time.

Suddenly.

The Red Flame Dragon Wings behind Chen Yu were dispersed by the wind, and the crimson dragon scales on his body also slowly faded away.

"The Bloodline Power is exhausted."

Chen Yu expected this.

In the third attack, he had nearly poured out all his strength.

Including Bloodline Power, and True Yuan.

As the Bloodline Power of the Red Winged Holy Dragon faded, a tearing pain swept through Chen Yu’s whole body, as if countless ants were gnawing at him.

"Hiss..."

Chen Yu gasped repeatedly, gritting his teeth, enduring the severe pain.

The bloodline of the Red Winged Holy Dragon contained a King’s power. Although very rare, it was not something a normal Sky Sea Realm could withstand.

Moreover, the bloodline of the Red Winged Holy Dragon ranks high among Holy Beasts.

During the use of Bloodline Power, Chen Yu’s internal organs, meridians, and bones had already been damaged countless times.

If not for the elementary indestructible body, he might have perished together with the Half-step Bloodline King.

Even so, the tremendous damage caused by the powerful Bloodline Power required some time to be completely healed, even with the elementary indestructible body’s recovery ability.

So at this moment, Chen Yu could be said to be heavily injured.

But the enemy was dead, and he was still alive, victorious, which was enough.

He had defeated a Half-step Condensing Star Realm!

"I must leave this place. If Ye Luofeng and the others are alive, they will surely return to the camp for reinforcements."

Chen Yu planned to return the way he came.

However, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

Since Captain Huang’s true identity was a Blood Race strongman, could there be other Blood Race individuals hidden among them?

At this moment, Chen Yu was in a predicament, as two profound artifact attacks had exhausted his True Essence Power.

Additionally, his spiritual power was also depleted, leaving him quite worn out.

Just then, Chen Yu’s mysterious heart sensed an energy fluctuation rapidly approaching.

"Someone’s coming."

Chen Yu’s expression changed slightly.

In his current state, if the newcomer harbored any ill intent, he would be in trouble.

Moreover, it was possible that the arrivals were other strongmen of the Blood Race.

He swallowed a few Healing Pills and then, enduring the pain all over his body, quickly ran towards the forest.

Although his True Yuan was exhausted, his physical fitness was strong, and his running speed wasn’t slow.

At the edge of the forest, there was a rushing river winding forward endlessly.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yu plunged into the river.

His True Yuan was exhausted, his body wounded, and his spirit tired. At this time, he needed healing and rest, making it unfit for hurried travel.

By jumping into the river, he didn’t have to do anything and could rely on the water’s movement to get far from here.

Chen Yu tried to sink to the riverbed to hide his presence, drifting downstream with the current.

The river was swift, so he completely concealed his aura, drifting along like a piece of wood.

Suddenly, a black-scaled crocodile swam from the bottom of the river, its eyes lighting up when it saw Chen Yu.

It enthusiastically rushed over, opening its mouth to bite.

Clang clang clang!

A series of metallic sounds echoed, and it lost a few teeth but couldn’t bite through Chen Yu.

The black-scaled crocodile was immediately annoyed. With its biting force, it still couldn’t do anything to this human.

After a round of gnawing, it left with its mouth full of broken teeth and teary eyes.

"Hehe!"

Chen Yu laughed inwardly, ignoring it.

But soon after, a peculiar large black striped fish swam over, three zhang in length, with eyes as big as lanterns.

It was different from the previous black-scaled crocodile, opening its big mouth as if trying to swallow Chen Yu whole.

"Such bad luck?"

Chen Yu felt frustrated.

However, entering a demon beast’s belly seemed to further isolate his presence.

Thinking this, he didn’t resist, allowing the creature to swallow him.

Just as Chen Yu jumped into the river, two figures arrived there.

One elder wore a cloth robe, holding a jade pendant in his hand, the faint light on it slowly fading.

"The sensing is gone."

The elder sighed, then showed a cold expression: "Indeed, there are traces of those thieves in the Great Yu Realm."

"Elder, look here..."

A young man in a blue robe, stunned, exclaimed in astonishment as he looked at the scene before him.

Fire clouds churned in the sky, the ground was devastated, vegetation withered, and there were several large pits.

The air carried a faint dragon roar, shaking the soul.

"This must be the battlefield of a Half-step King or even a Condensed Star King!"

The elder sensed the remnants of elemental power in the area, his eyes flickering with a brilliant light.

The blue-robed man carefully sensed for a moment and said, "Not only that, but there’s also an aura of a soul falling..."

The elder in coarse clothes nodded slightly and laughed, "It seems your ’Cold Thought Ice Soul Technique’ has improved considerably, to see so quickly that a person fell here."

"You underestimate me. With my talent, I can at least compare to the top five geniuses on the Eastern Domain’s ’Heaven’s Chosen List’."

A confident smile appeared on the handsome face of the blue-robed man.

"Elder, could it be that the ’traitor’ sensed by the clan’s jade pendant is one of the participants in this battle?"

He suddenly remembered something and voiced his speculation.

Just a moment ago, the elder sensed the presence of a "traitor," which led them here, only to witness such a scene.

"It’s a strong possibility!"

The elder in coarse clothes looked slightly somber.

However, just now, the sensing of the jade pendant disappeared.

It was uncertain whether the traitor died in the battle or managed to escape.

"In any case, we cannot let those who betrayed the Great Yu Realm, ’traitors’, get away. Let’s search once more, we might find something."

The elder in coarse clothes ordered coldly.

"Yes."

The blue-robed man responded.

He glanced around the battlefield; judging by the scene of destruction, the strengths of both sides were not significantly different.

That is to say, the victor was likely severely injured.

"Heh heh, if we can find the victor, they must be at the point of exhaustion. If I can refine their soul, I’ll have a puppet at the half-step king level, fascinating!"

The blue-robed man’s eyes gleamed as he began to search carefully.

An hour later, the elder in coarse clothes walked to a long riverbank, looking up slightly into the distance.

...

In the rushing river, the "Black Toad Fish" had just swallowed a human and was preparing to find a place to digest properly.

An hour passed, and the human inside its belly hadn’t melted at all.

This puzzled the Black Toad Fish; it was extremely hungry, and eating a human yielded no nutritional benefit, leaving it speechless.

Inside the belly of the Black Toad Fish, Chen Yu was sitting with his eyes closed, holding the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, quietly recovering his spiritual power.

Meanwhile, his bodily injuries were also healing slowly.

"The mysterious heart seems to have some connection with the Blood Race..."

Chen Yu was lost in thought.

Previously, he merely felt that his mysterious heart suppressed the Blood Race, labeling himself as the "nemesis of the Blood Race".

However, after absorbing the power of the Blood Clan’s Holy Artifact, the mysterious heart changed, enabling Chen Yu to utilize two types of bloodline powers at the same time.

The augmentation of bloodline power on one’s strength is extraordinary; being able to use two types of bloodline power simultaneously can have the potential to turn the tide in crucial moments.

"Why can the power from the Blood Clan’s Holy Artifact enhance the abilities of the mysterious heart?"

Chen Yu couldn’t figure it out.

He knew little about the Blood Race and even less about the mysterious heart.

Perhaps understanding the Blood Race could unravel some of his confusion, including the secrets of the mysterious heart.

But the Blood Race is an evil and greedy race in the world, diametrically opposed to the Human Race. When they meet, a deadly fight usually ensues.

This gave Chen Yu a headache.

"Well, let’s not think too much about it now."

Chen Yu cast aside those thoughts, focusing on healing and recovery.

Being in the Sky Sea Realm, his True Yuan Sea within could automatically absorb elemental energy from the heavens and the earth to restore True Yuan.

But Chen Yu was inside the belly of the Black Toad Fish, absorbing all the elemental energy from within it.

Roar~

The Black Toad Fish roared, expressing its inner frustration.

It was already extremely hungry. After eating a human, not only couldn’t it digest, but it also felt even hungrier.

After a while, the Black Toad Fish feebly swam along, searching for food.

It was so hungry that its vision blurred, and if it didn’t eat something soon, it would lose the strength to swim.

The Black Toad Fish swam desperately, eating some ferocious beasts along the way.

However, Chen Yu’s True Yuan Sea was vast, and the cultivation of the Black Striped Strange Fish was only around the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, incapable of satisfying his True Yuan Sea.

Roar!

The Black Striped Strange Fish roared again, filled with agitation and frustration.

What on earth was happening today? No matter how much it ate, it was still starving?

Suddenly.

The Black Toad Fish sensed danger, thrashed its tail, and immediately dodged.

However, it was too hungry, couldn’t dodge in time, and was pierced through by a steel harpoon.

On the river surface, a fair-skinned and pure young girl cheered excitedly, "I hit it, I hit a demon fish."

"Xiao Yun, quickly retrieve your trophy, let’s see what kind of demon beast you caught."

Beside her, two young men immediately called out, equally curious.

Today was the first time they brought Xiao Yun to this river to hunt demons. She had no technique, yet on her first try, she succeeded.

This puzzled them a bit, as they expected it would be up to them to teach Xiao Yun the skill of hunting demon beasts.

Roar~

The Black Toad Fish was dragged ashore, roaring weakly.

"It’s actually a ’Black Toad Fish’!"

One of the young men gasped.

This Black Toad Fish was an infamous ancient beast, and even they had never caught one before.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from this fish was clearly at the Guiyuan Realm.

A ferocious beast at the Guiyuan Realm had been pierced by Xiao Yun, who was only at the Qi Transformation Realm!

For a moment, the two seasoned fishers were dumbfounded.

"It’s not dead yet, quickly kill it!"

All three immediately took action.

The cultivation of the two young men wasn’t weak, both reaching the Early Guiyuan Realm.

Finally, the notorious Black Toad Fish perished just like that.

"Hehe, let’s go back and let grandpa see the trophy I caught!"

After speaking, Xiao Yun dragged the massive body of the Black Toad Fish, ready to head back.
