How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 877: Chapter 872: Chen Yu, surrender now

After slaying Long Sha Zu, Chen Yu’s aura suddenly weakened.

Long Sha Zu was completely different from the Half-step King he encountered before. Being a descendant of the Blood-sucking Clan, his vitality was immensely strong, far surpassing any enemy Chen Yu had ever seen.

Long Sha Zu had sustained injuries from a great battle, and even after being directly struck by the Burning Sky Demon Halberd, he still didn’t perish.

If not for the mysterious heart’s suppressive effect on the Blood Race, whether Chen Yu could have slain Long Sha Zu remained an unknown.

Chen Yu’s consciousness sank into the internal space of the mysterious heart.

Here, there was no Bloodline Power from Long Sha Zu, as Chen Yu had expected.

When absorbing the bloodline power of the Blood-sucking Clan descendants or Ancestor Bloodline, that power would merge into the vast, desolate space within the mysterious heart.

Previously, this space was pitch-black, desolate, and dead silent.

But now, the entire space was draped in a faint red glow, pulsing rhythmically, as if breathing, like a beating pulse.

Although Chen Yu did not directly gain any benefits, he sensed that the mysterious heart was gradually undergoing a transformation.

Just like last time, when the mysterious heart absorbed power from the Blood Clan’s Holy Artifact, it allowed Chen Yu to simultaneously wield two types of Bloodline Power, greatly increasing his combat strength.

Whoosh whoosh!

The gigantic blood-colored crystal ball at the center of the area flew towards Chen Yu. The violent blood aura it emitted swept in waves like tsunamis, crashing against the blood crystal space walls, creating a series of loud booms.

Yet, as this overwhelming blood aura approached Chen Yu, it all turned from violent to gentle and finally transformed into a wisp of energy, absorbed by the mysterious heart.

When the massive blood-colored crystal ball floated before Chen Yu.

Crack!

The Blood Crystal Ball showed cracks, instantly spreading across the sphere until it finally shattered.

Inside it, a drop of crystal-red blood shot out like a tiny snake.

The blood transformed into a spirit!

This drop of Ancestor’s Blood was imbued with spirituality.

With the heart’s intense pulsation and strong suction, this spiritual Ancestor’s Blood burst into Chen Yu’s body.

That drop of blood entered the internal space of the mysterious heart.

It reformed into a drop of blood, falling into the void, seemingly merging with the entire space, stirring up red water ripples that spread to the distant expanses.

At the same time.

With the heartbeat, it was as if a warm current spread from the heart, flowing throughout Chen Yu’s entire body.

At this moment, subtle transformations occurred within Chen Yu’s body, his whole body tingled, and his injuries healed in an instant, with his vitality and spirit gradually rising.

However, after ten breaths, this change ceased.

Chen Yu felt a peculiar sensation in his mind, as if his body’s transformation had reached a bottleneck, once broken through, a qualitative change would occur.

“My cultivation has also progressed.”

Chen Yu sensed his True Yuan Sea, showing a surprised expression.

Most creatures of the Blood Race can enhance their cultivation by devouring the blood of powerful beings.

Chen Yu didn’t know such Secret Techniques and logically shouldn’t achieve this.

Perhaps it was because this drop of Ancestor’s Blood was relatively recent and highly active, containing the essence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, unintentionally promoting Chen Yu’s cultivation.

After receiving the rewards of the Bloodthirsty Trial, Chen Yu’s gaze fell upon the shattered Blood Crystal Ball.

“This should be a Blood Essence Crystal Stone, but its quality is higher than the one I obtained earlier.”

Chen Yu assessed the value of this shattered Blood Crystal Ball.

Blood Essence Crystal Stones are crystallized blood, possibly mixed with other substances.

No matter what, such items are extremely precious within the Blood Race, not only for cultivation but also for Artifact Refining, and can even be dissolved to brew Blood Brew.

Just as Chen Yu was collecting these high-quality Blood Essence Crystal Stones, he suddenly noticed something mixed in the middle of one large Blood Essence Crystal Stone.

“What is this?”

Chen Yu picked up the Blood Essence Crystal Stone and scanned it with Spiritual Sense.

It was a dark red viscous substance, emitting a faint blood fragrance. Just inhaling a bit made Chen Yu feel his whole body’s blood and Qi surging, significantly invigorated.

“Could this be… Blood King Marrow?”

Chen Yu wasn’t certain.

After all, Blood King Marrow is extremely precious, even within the Blood Race, it is hard to come by.

Chen Yu had never seen real Blood King Marrow, only heard about it.

Based on his assessment, the dark red viscous substance inside the Blood Essence Crystal Stone could very well be the extraordinarily precious Blood King Marrow.

Chen Yu quickly examined other fast Blood Essence Crystal Stones and found many of such substances.

“If this truly is Blood King Marrow, then the formula Red Flame King gave me… can finally be used.”

Previously, when Chen Yu received the Heavenly Moon Blood Marrow formula from Red Flame King, he thought it would be difficult to collect all the ingredients. Occupied with many other matters, he didn’t pay attention to it.

Unexpectedly, in the final stage of the Bloodthirsty Trial, he obtained what seemed to be Blood King Marrow.

“This Bloodthirsty Trial far exceeded my expectations.”

Chen Yu sighed.

He initially intended to help Young Master Wei secure victory, aiming to gain some benefits for himself.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the third stage.

Faced with the choice between life and death, Chen Yu would definitely choose survival, even if it meant revealing his identity to kill Long Sha Zu.

The Ancestor’s Blood fell into his hands.

Unexpectedly, the container storing the Ancestor’s Blood also held Blood King Marrow.

This Bloodthirsty Trial has been remarkably rewarding.

But the crucial question is what to do next?

The crime of slaying a Blood-sucking Clan descendant is enough to sentence him to death!

“Must I leave the Blood Race for good?”

Chen Yu murmured.

He held a Qingyun Token, which could open a spatial passage, allowing him to leave this place and enter the Green Cloud Secret Realm.

…

At the moment Chen Yu obtained the Ancestor’s Blood, everyone in the Bloodthirsty Secret Realm was transported away.

On the vast square, one figure after another was sent out.

“Who won?”

Young Master Gu looked dejected; he had failed at the first checkpoint, and later, he found the corpse of Blood Scale Venerable.

Unimaginably, Blood Scale Venerable was killed by the followers of another Young Ancestor right at the beginning!

The only person capable of this, it would seem, is Fu Xue Mei, as no one else could have possibly done it.

That’s why Young Master Gu least hoped for Long Sha Zu to win.

He glanced around and saw Young Master Wei.

Since Young Master Wei and he were both teleported out, it was evident that Long Sha Zu had won and successfully entered the third checkpoint.

And judging from Young Master Wei’s expression, it was certain that he had been defeated by Long Sha Zu.

This made Young Master Gu even more indignant and unwilling to accept.

Young Master Wei also scanned his surroundings but did not see Chen Yu.

“It seems Long Sha Zu killed him.”

Young Master Wei sighed.

If he had entered the third checkpoint and encountered such a situation, he would also have crushed the adversarial follower.

Although he had an inexplicable fondness for Chen Yu, with Chen Yu’s death, that fondness instantly vanished.

Just a follower, after all.

“Is the Bloodthirsty Trial over?”

“Who won among the Young Ancestors?”

People all around looked towards the sky over the square, focusing on Young Master Wei, Young Master Gu, and others.

“Where is Jin Yudong?”

Ice Sun Venerate’s eyes shot out a bloody gleam.

He was ready to capture Chen Yu the moment he was teleported out.

But Chen Yu did not appear!

“Could he have died inside?”

Ice Sun Venerate felt somewhat disappointed.

The thought of not being able to capture Chen Yu personally left a lingering anger, with no outlet.

Moreover, he could not claim that sky-high reward.

“It seems the struggle among the three Young Ancestors has ended.”

“Long Sha Zu secured the final victory.”

Many high-ranking members of the Blood Race had concluded.

The descendants of the Blood-sucking Clan hold an extraordinary status in the Blood Race, and many of those present had more or less some connection with the descendants of the Blood-sucking Clan.

Therefore, the Bloodthirsty Trial, to some extent, also affected the entire Blood Sea Realm’s Blood Race.

It was very evident that with Long Sha Zu’s victory this time, those blood relatives secretly supporting Long Sha Zu might rise with him in the future, surpassing other blood relatives.

At this moment.

Buzz! Boom!

A dense blood aura burst forth from the circular hole in the center of the square, like a pillar of light soaring into the sky, stirring the blood-red clouds of the heavens.

Within this blood-colored pillar of light was a strong spatial fluctuation, clearly a beam of teleportation light.

“Long Sha Zu is coming out.”

“Long Sha Zu’s foundation and team strength were already the strongest among the three Young Ancestors. His victory this time is truly well-deserved.”

As discussions ensued, a figure emerged from the blood-colored pillar of light.

“Welcome, Young Ancestor Long.”

Many high-ranking members of the Blood Race, close to Long Sha Zu, slowly approached, uttering congratulations.

At this moment, the blood light dissipated, and a figure was revealed.

“Who are you?”

The person who had just congratulated Long Sha Zu exclaimed in surprise.

This person was not Long Sha Zu!

“I remember this person as Young Master Wei’s follower. Why wasn’t he teleported out with Young Master Wei, Fu Xue Mei, and others?”

“Where is Long Sha Zu?”

A commotion erupted all around.

“Jin Yudong?”

Young Master Wei’s eyes widened, unable to believe that Jin Yudong hadn’t been killed by Long Sha Zu.

What exactly happened?

“Hahaha, he’s out!”

Not far away, Ice Sun Venerate laughed loudly, taking to the air, radiating an extreme coldness.

He had thought Chen Yu had died inside the trial, but unexpectedly, Chen Yu was still alive; it was just that he came out a bit later.

“Ice Sun Venerate, what are you going to do?”

A high-ranking individual noticed Ice Sun Venerate’s unusual behavior and immediately asked.

Ice Sun Venerate did not respond and went straight for Chen Yu, raising his palm, on which red and blue lights swirled, exuding a biting cold, instantly plunging the surroundings into a deep winter.

“Elder Zhong, stop!”

Young Master Wei immediately shouted.

The Ice Sun Venerate, for some reason, suddenly attacked his follower.

“Jin Yudong, your true identity is Chen Yu, you can fool others but not this old man!”

Ice Sun Venerate burst into laughter, closing the distance to just ten feet away from Chen Yu, an intense cold force freezing Chen Yu, encasing him in a layer of frost!

“What? He is Chen Yu!”

“Chen Yu!”

These two names, like a bomb, shocked everyone.

Though hard to believe, if Jin Yudong truly was Chen Yu, capturing him would yield a sky-high reward.

Chen Yu looked at Ice Sun Venerate, a bit surprised inside, not expecting his true identity to be noticed by the other.

“Chen Yu, surrender now!”

Ice Sun Venerate sneered, the pressure of the half-step Condensing Star Realm bearing down like a tsunami.
