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

The three members of the Blood Race were dumbfounded.

They had personally witnessed Chen Yu being suppressed by the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown.

Yet at this moment, he appeared alive in front of them, as if having seen a ghost.

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Situ Lin Yu was equally astonished.

Even he, facing an attack of that magnitude from the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, could barely survive; how did Chen Yu come out unscathed?

"Blood Race, your real target is me, isn't it?"

Chen Yu's cold gaze fell on the Blood Peak King.

He hadn't revealed this earlier because the enemy was too strong, but now it didn't matter.

Situ Lin Yu had always been curious why the Blood Race wanted to kill him.

It turned out the target of the Blood Race was Chen Yu, while the Dragon Clan's target was him. Thus, the Blood Race and Dragon Clan conspired together.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu shot forward.

The Blood Peak King was startled by Chen Yu's sudden appearance, and his first reaction was not to attack but to retreat.

Upon further consideration, he realized this was Human Race territory, and given the current state of both parties, capturing Chen Yu was highly unlikely. A single misstep could cost him his life here.

"Retreat!"

The Blood Peak King made a swift decision.

A wise man knows when to retreat and live to fight another day.

The other two Blood Race members at the Late Stage Star Condensing were very unwilling. Victory was within reach, and they were supposed to be the ultimate winners, but everything was ruined due to Chen Yu's appearance.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Situ Lin Yu immediately took action, and a bone-chilling black wind swept across, swirling with countless sinister ghostly figures.

However, Situ Lin Yu was heavily injured, and he couldn't stop the Blood Peak King from escaping.

Chen Yu was also wounded; chasing down a four-star King was impossible unless his mysterious heart kept erupting.

But the Blood Peak King, knowing Chen Yu's capabilities, wouldn't take him lightly, making it very difficult for Chen Yu to detain him.

If the Blood Peak King couldn't be stopped, under no circumstances could the other two Late Stage Star Condensing Blood Race members be allowed to escape!

Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu each pursued one.

"Blood Peak King, save me."

The ancient elder, seeing Chen Yu chasing him, looked defeated and called out in panic.

This battle had left them profoundly shocked; even the four-star King was eventually killed by Chen Yu.

The ancient elder lost all will to fight, with only fear and panic remaining in his heart.

"I will avenge you."

The Blood Peak King threw this line and then fled.

In his eyes, as Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu pursued the other two Blood Race members, this was his golden opportunity to escape alive.

Shh!

Chen Yu unleashed the White Tiger Sacred Claw, slicing his fingers through the air, projecting a streak of gold and silver light.

The ancient elder's hairs stood on end as he unleashed his energy, shifting a hundred meters to the left, dodging the attack.

But at this moment, Chen Yu's second strike descended.

The ancient elder could only turn to resist; otherwise, his life would be in peril.

Bang!

He swung a wooden staff, emanating a wave of blood-colored light, clashing with Chen Yu's attack.

Clang! Clang!

The ancient elder was forced back dozens of steps, ready to continue fleeing, but another attack from Chen Yu descended.

Calm and composed, Chen Yu continuously swung his fingers, launching relentless attacks, completely suppressing the ancient elder.

Shh!

A bloody streak appeared on the ancient elder's arm.

Soon after, his body was covered in more and more wounds until he was thoroughly cut up.

Chen Yu intended to capture this Blood Race member alive, so he didn't use fatal attacks, opting to wear him down gradually.

When the ancient elder's injuries reached a certain level, Chen Yu activated Profound Meaning of Space, forming a massive spatial hand that captured him firmly.

Chen Yu had many questions and wanted answers from the Blood Race.

But instead of forcing questions, he went directly for a soul search.

Amid the ancient elder's screams of agony, Chen Yu gradually learned everything.

"The Blood Race is indeed related to my mysterious heart…"

From the ancient elder's memories, Chen Yu learned that the upper echelons of the Blood Race issued the highest secret order to capture Chen Yu alive, or kill him as a last resort.

As to how the Blood Race tracked him down here, that story began when Chen Yu participated in the Heavenly Martial Sect examination.

At that time, he passed through a city of cultivators, was sensed by the Blood Race, who impersonated a cultivator participating in the Heavenly Martial Sect examination to approach Chen Yu, but was ultimately slaughtered by him.

However, before dying, that Blood Race member sent out a message.

From then on, the Blood Race kept a watchful eye on Chen Yu, even infiltrating the Heavenly Martial Sect.

Once the Blood Race learned that Chen Yu left the Heavenly Martial Sect for the Qianyuan Realm, they immediately dispatched individuals to target Chen Yu, including the Blood Peak King and others.

"You may die now."

Having obtained the intelligence, Chen Yu killed the ancient elder.

"The Blood Race is determined to obtain my heart; it's almost a life-and-death situation between us."

Chen Yu sighed inwardly.

The Blood Race excelled in stealth, setting ambushes unexpectedly, much like this time, which was nearly a fatal encounter.

With Chen Yu's current strength, how could he oppose the entire Blood Race?

Although the Blood Race had been severely hit by various clans and confined to a place of taboo, they were no longer as powerful as before, yet still beyond Chen Yu's capability to contend.

"The key lies in strength; if I were overwhelmingly powerful, how could the Blood Race dare to challenge me?"

Whoosh!

Situ Lin Yu also killed the other Blood Race member and approached Chen Yu.

"What exactly happened just now? You were hit by the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, why were you unharmed?"

First and foremost, Situ Lin Yu asked him this question.

The Blood Peak King, who had already fled, was also eager to know this but was destined to remain in doubt without an answer.

"You'll know once you check it out."

Chen Yu didn't offer further explanation.

Whoosh!

Situ Lin Yu arrived at the enormous pit over two thousand feet wide, which was bottomless and pitch black.

Yet, Situ Lin Yu still saw a heap of massive metal at the pit's bottom.

"Is this... his mystical weapon?"

Situ Lin Yu figured out that the heap of crushed metal was the mystical weapon Chen Yu had used earlier, the [Golden Mountain Tower].

Even with Chen Yu's defensive power, being struck by the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] meant a near-death experience.

At a critical moment, he unleashed the [Golden Mountain Tower], entered its internal space, and escaped disaster.

However, the mystical weapon [Golden Mountain Tower] was utterly scrapped, reduced to a pile of broken metal.

"So that's how it is..."

Situ Lin Yu's doubts were resolved.

Chen Yu escaped disaster but paid a heavy price, his powerful mystical weapon destroyed.

No, that doesn't seem to be the main point.

Where is the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown]?

Situ Lin Yu realized, turned around, and looked at Chen Yu.

"Brother Chen, this [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] is the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure, with infinite might and astounding value. Such a precious trophy, you cannot swallow it alone..."

Under normal circumstances, Situ Lin Yu wouldn't haggle over trophies with Chen Yu.

The critical point is that the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] is too precious.

Even in his previous life, Situ Lin Yu greatly desired such treasures as the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown].

Moreover, this is the Yellow Dragon Clan's clan treasure. If it falls into the hands of the Human Race, it can greatly boost morale and strike the enemy.

"Brother Situ, look, my [Golden Mountain Tower] is destroyed, and I don't have a suitable weapon at hand. This [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] is quite nice; a gentleman shouldn't take away what someone cherishes..."

Chen Yu shamelessly said.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure, especially since his weapon was indeed destroyed?

"To be honest, I'm currently being targeted by the Blood Race. They chased me from the main world to here, even deploying a four-star king. If I have this treasure, my survival ability will greatly increase. If you truly wish to 'take what someone cherishes,' I might never be seen again..."

Chen Yu began playing the "emotion card."

For the sake of the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown], he was willing to go to any lengths.

"Blood Race..."

Situ Lin Yu pondered.

The appearance of the Blood Race indeed surprised him. Now, he knew that the Blood Race's target was Chen Yu.

Being targeted by such a terrifying race indeed posed immense danger; one wrong move could result in a place with no burial left.

"Brother Situ, you, a reincarnated emperor, can't be fighting a junior like me over trophies. Besides, Brother Situ's promotion to the Xuanming Realm is a certainty, whereas my path is still very long, requiring greater opportunities..."

Situ Lin Yu was somewhat speechless at Chen Yu's words.

The age in this life of his wasn't much different from Chen Yu's.

"This time, no matter what, you saved my life, and I shall allow you to choose trophies first as a gesture."

Ultimately, Situ Lin Yu compromised.

He didn't want to become enemies with Chen Yu. Besides, in his severely injured state, he couldn't beat Chen Yu if they truly fought.

He had to admit that his reincarnation and rebuilding made him slightly inferior to Chen Yu.

And in this incident where danger was resolved, Chen Yu played a significant part. The four-star king, Huang Zhuohong, died because of Chen Yu, not related to Situ Lin Yu.

To a certain extent, Chen Yu owed Situ Lin Yu a life-saving debt.

On the other hand, the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] wasn't suitable for Situ Lin Yu. Its main use for him would be a powerful trump card, although he already had many of those.

However, Situ Lin Yu also put forth corresponding conditions.

The other trophies from the dragon and Blood Race members who died here would belong to him, as would the credit.

"Moreover, you owe me a favor."

Situ Lin Yu stated solemnly.

Chen Yu's monstrous talent surpassed his understanding, even as a reincarnated and rebuilding Situ Lin Yu couldn't compare.

As long as Chen Yu remained alive, his future achievements would be limitless, possibly surpassing his own.

Situ Lin Yu, with a long-term perspective, requested a favor, hoping his decision was correct.

"Okay."

Chen Yu agreed earnestly.

He was already mentally prepared for a confrontation with Situ Lin Yu.

The counterpart, worthy of being a reincarnated emperor, had a lofty perspective and realm, being able to let go of such a treasure.

The two had known each other since youth, going through many trials to reach today. Chen Yu recognized Situ Lin Yu through this event. Should Situ Lin Yu ever need anything, he vowed to provide his utmost assistance.

Soon, Human Race experts and troops arrived.

The assassination of Human Race's Saint General by the Yellow Dragon Clan allied with the Blood Race instantly exploded.

The Blood Race is almost the common enemy of all flesh and blood races, and the fact that the Yellow Dragon Clan allied with the Blood Race brought disdain from other races, causing their reputation to plummet.

Meanwhile, Situ Lin Yu's renown once again spread throughout the Qianyuan Realm.

All the credit for the enemy's defeat in this incident was attributed to him.

Chen Yu didn't mind at all. He not only acquired the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] but also managed to obtain the demon core of the four-star king Huang Zhuohong from Situ Lin Yu, a truly rich harvest.

Yellow Dragon Clan.

Within the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Emperor, upon receiving the news, was furious.

Roar!

The dragon roar reverberated through the nine heavens, and the Golden Saint Emperor was hurled out of the Dragon Palace by the Dragon Emperor, coughing up blood incessantly.

The clan treasure of the Yellow Dragon Clan was lost, and Huang Zhuohong was dead. Naturally, the responsibility fell entirely on the Golden Saint Emperor.

Such a grave sin, the Golden Saint Emperor had no rebuttal.

"How could this be? This emperor cannot sense the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown]. Could it be that a God Realm expert intervened?"

The Dragon Emperor found it hard to believe. There couldn't be a God Realm expert among the Human Race; otherwise, the Dragon Clan would have long been defeated?

Without a God Realm's intervention, why did his secret technique not work? Where exactly is the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown]?
