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

Chapter 221: Chapter 0217: Battle Underground

Swoosh~

A profound dark blood crystal stream, about as thick as a thumb, pulsing with ancient blood scale light patterns, suddenly surged into Chen Yu’s body.

At that moment,

The scene once witnessed in Blood Burial Garden played out again.

However, this time, instead of the human identity Lu Zhuo, it was replaced by the “Blood Dragon Beast,” which possessed the True Dragon Holy Beast bloodline.

Chen Yu clearly perceived

that the bloodline power extracted from the Blood Dragon Beast’s body had shed some impurities, emitting an aura of dragon majesty that had become a few degrees purer.

This bloodline power was several levels stronger than the Black Emperor bloodline in Lu Zhuo’s body.

In reality,

although the quality of Lu Zhuo’s Black Emperor bloodline was considered good, its awakening was far less than that of the Blood Dragon Beast, limited by his cultivation.

Hmm?

While extracting the bloodline, Chen Yu suddenly felt an unusual movement in a certain part of his left arm.

The source of the movement was a thumb-sized, lustrous blood bead sealed within his left arm, wrapped in a layer of blood cocoon.

Hiss!

That lustrous blood bead suddenly emitted a crystal-like blood-colored flame.

Crack!

The surrounding blood cocoon split open with a small crack.

This scene sent a chill down Chen Yu’s spine, as the forbidden “Blood Crystal Flame” that had been sealed in Blood Burial Garden, seemed to show signs of breaking free.

Swoosh~

The dark blood crystal stream that had entered his body divided into a faint trickle of blood scale light, merging through the crack of the blood cocoon into the lustrous blood bead.

Chen Yu held his breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Fortunately,

the blood cocoon had only cracked slightly open, and the compressed “Blood Crystal Flame” bead, which seemed to have a kinship with his flesh and blood, showed no dangerous reactions.

After two or three breaths,

Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump! Thump!

The body of the Blood Dragon Beast became shriveled, its mysterious heart ceasing to extract any further.

Sigh~

Chen Yu relaxed slightly and entered the space within his heart, that dark, silent void.

The Light Silver Crystal Space and the Dark Blood Vortex stood separately in the void.

Among them,

the vortex representing the “Black Emperor bloodline” emitted faint black iron blood glows, dwindling to less than the size of a palm.

However,

beside it, a vivid blood dragon with scales spiraled slowly, emitting an intangible ancient draconic aura.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but marvel.

The form of that scaled blood dragon, somewhat resembled the Blood Dragon Beast, as well as the legendary true dragons.

The blood dragon was roughly one zhang long, a hundred times larger in volume compared to the Black Emperor bloodline’s vortex.

“This must be the source of the Blood Dragon Beast’s bloodline.”

Chen Yu thought with surprise.

Schwing!

Before Chen Yu could even attempt to harness the power of this potent bloodline, footsteps approached from afar.

Chen Yu quickly withdrew his mind.

At this moment,

Luo Haochen had already come within a hundred zhang.

Chen Yu immediately crouched down, holding the Dark Snake Sword, and pulled out a blood-colored demon core from the partially desiccated body of the Blood Dragon Beast.

This demon core was several times larger than that of the water monster he encountered before.

Its density and quality were also several times greater.

Chen Yu felt the immense power contained within the demon core, probably at the level of the Guiyuan Realm.

“Could it be that this Blood Dragon Beast, for some reason, has been hibernating here for many years, with its cultivation temporarily regressed?”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

At this time, his attention was on Luo Haochen, who continued to approach.

Chen Yu did not notice

that the rock wall behind the corpse of the Blood Dragon Beast had further expanded its fissures, a layer of eerie and cold blood patterns quietly emerging.

Simultaneously,

the Iron Moon Strange Insect continued its feast inside the body of the Blood Dragon Beast, its aura growing more frantic.

However,

after feasting on the deluxe meal within this top-tier Ancient Beast, the insect let out a satisfied belch and gradually showed signs of fatigue.

This hunting event, was indeed a huge windfall for the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

The benefits provided by the extremely poisonous body of the Blood Dragon Beast were more than ten times better than those from the water monster.

Chen Yu understood that this feast had reached the digestive limit of the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

Swoosh!

He quickly recalled the Iron Moon Strange Insect back.

“Leave the Blood Dragon Beast’s demon core behind!”

At that moment, an arrogant and dominant voice rang out.

Whoo!

Luo Haochen’s body surged with a dazzling layer of radiant energy, swirling around him was a scorchingly hot fierce wind, exuding an astonishing pressure.

Chen Yu’s internal energy stagnated, feeling a scalding dryness.

“This demon core has already been obtained by I. Do you intend to pursue this matter to the end, which would be against the hunting rules?”

Chen Yu put away the demon core and said indifferently.

“You’ve just acquired the demon core, and Luo can snatch it back quickly. Where’s the argument for persistence?”

Luo Haochen sneered with a confident expression.

“Besides, we are underground; whatever happens here won’t be known to outsiders.”

A victorious smile spread across Luo Haochen’s face.

Rumble!

His figure suddenly closed the distance, a bright white column of fist light spun, violently radiant, engulfing Chen Yu.

“This guy!”

Chen Yu hadn’t expected his opponent to strike so quickly.

The Postnatal Peak Cultivation and Ancient Clan Bloodline gave Luo Haochen a speed advantage over Chen Yu, who was still accumulating power in his heart.

“Slice!”

Chen Yu grasped the Dark Snake Sword with a gaze as sharp as lightning, ready for an all-out battle.

Facing such an adversary, he could no longer afford to hold back.

Buzz!

A black iron Qi pattern encircled the Copper Statue Gang Body, and together with his dark True Qi, it merged into the Dark Snake Sword.

In an instant,

A slender arc of sword radiance, deep and mysterious, zhang in length, flickered like a feather’s touch.

Boom!

However, upon striking Luo Haochen’s fist light, a sound like a mountain collapsing erupted.

“What?”

Lu Zhuo’s face showed surprise as he staggered back a dozen or so feet, witnessing his own bloodline-fused strike being cut in two by the man’s sword.

Incredible.

The seemingly trivial sword wielded by his opponent contained the massive force of a mountain.

On the other side.

After Chen Yu struck with his sword, he felt a searing breath piercing through his protective layer.

A tinge of scorching sensation infiltrated his viscera.

“What terrifying fist strength.”

Chen Yu’s expression grew solemn, aware that if he were not so robust, a typical Qi Transformation Innate would likely already be injured.

“Hahaha… Excellent!”

After his strike, Luo Haochen was not angry but rather overjoyed.

“I didn’t expect to encounter an opponent worth fighting at this hunting contest.”

The incandescent spots appearing on Luo Haochen’s body, along with the intense aura surrounding him, grew stronger, filling the atmosphere with a suffocating and eerie calm, a harbinger of an imminent storm.

Boom!

In the next instant, Luo Haochen transformed into a domineering white blaze. His punch turned into serpentine dragons of blazing light, rolling fiercely toward Chen Yu.

“This guy, he was actually holding back.”

A heavy feeling sank in Chen Yu’s heart.

Thump, thump, thump!

His heart gathered strength to its limit, entering a burst mode, where both strength and speed increased twofold to bridge the gap in their cultivation.

Bang, bong, beng!

A black and white pair of figures launched a fierce battle near the underground riverbed.

Every collision came with a massive boom, winds howling violently.

Ordinary Qi Transformation Realm practitioners couldn’t even get close to the two.

Every exchange allowed Chen Yu to leverage his strength advantage, pushing back Luo Haochen a bit.

Luo Haochen felt overpowered, his arms numbing repeatedly. Thankfully, his bloodline physique was also far superior to his peers.

But Luo Haochen’s advantage in cultivation was simply too great.

Postnatal Peak was far stronger than Chen Yu’s Postnatal Early Stage in both the quality and density of True Qi.

Bong chi!

The scorching True Qi and Bloodline Power, with each collision, penetrated Chen Yu’s defenses, causing a faint burning injury.

Such damage was naturally negligible to Chen Yu’s robust physique.

However.

Chen Yu had another shortcoming.

“This won’t do, much of my Black Emperor Bloodline is already depleted.”

Chen Yu’s heart turned cold.

Both the dark True Qi and the Black Emperor Bloodline couldn’t last.

Especially the “Black Emperor Bloodline,” this was his first time engaging in such a long battle.

Hum!

Seeing the black blood vortex within his heart space rapidly shrinking, exhaustion was not far off.

Moreover.

Chen Yu’s “Dark Snake Sword” underground lacked the additional forty percent potency granted by the moonlit night.

“Hahaha… Chen Yu, you are no match for me, just quickly hand over the demon core.”

Luo Haochen’s offensive grew more fierce and unrestrained.

Whoosh!

His punching lights gradually emitted a faint layer of air flames, their violent potency increasing by several notches.

Luo Haochen watched sharply.

He knew well that Chen Yu, with his cultivation, releasing such strength surely depended on secret techniques or the like, which wouldn’t last.

Before long, Chen Yu’s Black Emperor Bloodline had been completely expended.

“In that case…”

Chen Yu’s heart gathered strength, circulating another massive source of Bloodline Power from within his space.

Ao!

Suddenly, a faint dragon chant emanated from Chen Yu’s body, exuding a trace of Ancient Dragon might.

Hm?

Luo Haochen’s bloodline within his body shuddered inexplicably.

At the same moment.

In the darkened space, the lively, scaled Blood Dragon released strands of Blood Scale Qi.

“Boom!”

Chen Yu felt a violent and piercing pain in his body, along with a sense of swelling.

His eyes exuded strands of blood.

That terrifying force of the Ancient True Dragon Bloodline, directed by his heart, surged and burgeoned through his body.

In a flash.

Chen Yu’s forehead and arms solidified semi-transparent blood-color scales, akin to the manifest scales of a True Dragon, radiating an age-old Dragon Prestige that could roam heaven and earth.

“Open!”

Chen Yu shouted ferociously, his fists covered in Blood-Colored Scale Patterns hammering down on Luo Haochen with his bare hands.

Whoosh, bang!

A vast Dark Blood Scale Dragon Shadow, wrapped in roaring dark Evil Qi and echoing with dragon chants, swallowed Luo Haochen’s resplendent punching wind.

“…True Dragon Bloodline! How could this be!”

Luo Haochen cried out in astonishment, sent flying by the force.

The incandescent spots on his body dimmed rapidly, and his Ancient Clan Bloodline shivered for it.

Spurt!

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face a picture of shock.

In his vision, Chen Yu was enveloped in Blood Scale Qi Patterns, his forehead and arms solidified with semi-transparent blood-color dragon scale crystalline patterns, accompanied by a faint dragon chant, resembling a Dragonkin from legends.

The recent clash had caused his Ancient Clan Bloodline to be oppressed by the higher authority of the Dragon Prestige Bloodline, leaving him able to exert merely fifty to sixty percent of his power.

“This force…”

Chen Yu felt the colossal and tyrannical force of his bloodline’s dragon power, filled with a domineering and exhilarating impulse to shatter all in his path.

Defeat me!

Chen Yu roared, unleashing another Dark Blood Scale Dragon Shadow with his fist. Wreathed in dark Evil Qi, it expanded to a size of five or six zhang (a zhang is approximately 3.58 meters).

“White Shining True Flame!”

Luo Haochen’s expression turned grave, sucking in a deep breath as a flame of white fire flickered in his palm, releasing a terrible high-temperature pressure.

At the same time.

The incandescent spots on his body sparkled anew, the brilliant and dazzling white fist radiance and white flame merging into one.

Whoop, boom, rumble!

A fierce flame-enveloped serpentine dragon, ferocious and rampant, clashed with the Dark Blood Scale Dragon Shadow.

The surrounding rock walls trembled, and dust and flames swept through.

Boom!

Luo Haochen staggered back several zhang, his complexion pale.

Chen Yu swayed slightly, suddenly feeling a burning sensation.

“True Fire Spirit Flame?”

A thread of white flame spread across Chen Yu’s arm, intertwining with the blood-colored transparent scales.
