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

Within the center of the ancient fortress of Blood Orchid Ancient Village, chaos reigned.

"That kid... he wasn't possessed by the Blood-sucking Clan's descendant! How is this possible?"

"It's simply inconceivable, he even had a Condensed Star Realm King's trump card in his hand, and he has escaped."

You Guangxiong and the other thirty-one people were incredibly shocked, staring dumbstruck.

More than ninety percent of them were still thinking about how to break free from the control of Blood Orchid Ancient Village.

But right before their eyes, Chen Yu had demonstrated how to escape from Blood Orchid Ancient Village.

Not only that, Chen Yu seemed to have defeated the Blood-sucking Clan's descendant and had even obtained a 5,000-year-old Demon Intent Fruit and a Sea Transformation Pill for breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm.

All these actions, even the highest respect could not express the admiration in their hearts.

On the side of the Blood Race, besides shock and panic, there was exposure and hatred.

"It's over, what happened to the Young Ancestor? How could he fail?"

"That kid escaped, our secrets have been exposed! Damn it, what the hell did that bastard do?"

Numerous Blood Race powerhouses all voiced their emotions.

The outcome of this sudden turn of events had caught them completely off guard.

"Damn it, he has the life-saving trump card left by the Silent Blood Valley Master!"

Zhuo Buhuan's face was grim, and he gnashed his teeth.

He had clearly searched Chen Yu's storage bag before and found nothing--how could this be?

Chen Yu was the person he had brought in, and now that this had happened, the responsibility lay with him.

Whoosh!

Zhuo Buhuan was the first to rush out, as if to fly out of the fortress's top to chase down Chen Yu.

Several other Blood Race powerhouses also leaped up with the same idea.

"Stop chasing, this young man has probably escaped tens of thousands of miles away."

The steely voice of the Black Robed Elder echoed, and immediately a wintry gust howled through the fortress.

At once, silence fell inside the fortress, everyone stood frozen in place, not daring to move rashly.

"Elder, let me capture him and bring him back. He has swallowed the Blood Pill I made; as long as he's within thirty miles of me, I can sense his exact location."

Zhuo Buhuan stepped forward to say.

He could only make amends by capturing Chen Yu.

"'Lu Ling,' what is this young man's identity?"

The Black Robed Elder asked indifferently.

Zhuo Buhuan looked towards the Black Robed Elder; "Zhuo Buhuan" was merely the name of this body, and the one who occupied it from the Blood Skull Clan was named "Lu Ling."

Lu Ling was just about to answer but then swallowed his words.

Chen Yu was the disciple of the Silent Blood Valley Master, and as long as he returned to Black Demon Valley, he could surely resolve this threat.

"Hmph!"

The Black Robed Elder snorted coldly, and Lu Ling immediately shuddered.

Immediately after, the Black Robed Elder suddenly activated a spell, and the Array within the fortress sprang into action, the ground below booming and rumbling.

"The Young Ancestor is in danger, please 'Blood Spirit King' take action!"

The Black Robed Elder knelt down, his voice spreading with utmost sincerity.

At the same time, the rest of the robed figures trembled violently, all kneeling down, with Lu Ling turning particularly pale. He had not anticipated that this matter would disturb the Blood Clan King!

The others present were also terrified!

There was actually a Condensed Star Realm level Blood Clan King existing here!

Rumble!

Right at the center of the fortress, the ground suddenly split open with a small hole that gradually widened into a ten-yard-diameter round hole, leading down into the abyss below.

But after a long wait, there was no movement from below, as if the preceding show had been just a bluff from the Black Robed Elder.

The Black Robed Elder was also very nervous at this moment, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.

The "Blood Spirit King" was a King who had once descended into the Great Yu Realm, hunted by the kings of the Human Race and Demon Race, and had almost died.

But the Blood Race was powerful, and with their Divine Skills, the Blood Spirit King survived and had been slumbering here, unbeknownst to anyone.

If not absolutely necessary, he was reluctant to disturb the Blood Spirit King.

But the situation with the Young Ancestor was uncertain, and he was at his wit's end, he could only implore the Blood Spirit King to intervene!

Suddenly.

An overwhelming and formidable pressure burst forth from the depths of the earth without warning.

Inside the ancient fortress, everyone felt as though they were instantly transported to a land of destruction, their minds in turmoil.

Soon, that sensation vanished, leaving only a heavy atmosphere in the fortress, everyone's back feeling as though a mountain weighed upon them, their legs trembling and breaths difficult to draw.

Everyone dared not look up; beneath the fortress, a blood fog swirled, obscuring any details.

"A bunch... of trash!"

A low, hoarse voice rang out, like thunder in everyone's minds.

Those few below the Sky Sea Realm instantly fell unconscious.

"Lord King, please quell your anger..."

The Black Robed Elder immediately spoke, then seemed to communicate by sound transmission with the King below the fortress.

Roar!

The blood fog churned, and within it suddenly surged a deep red column of blood.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a blood column, but an elongated arm.

The gigantic blood-flow arm emitted a shocking aura as it bore down on Lu Ling.

Lu Ling's face was filled with fear, but he dared not defy the will of the King and didn't even dare to dodge.

Smack!

The blood-colored giant palm landed on top of Lu Ling's head, sending out ripples of scarlet energy that spread in all directions as if penetrating the space and extending to some unknown distant land.

Lu Ling's entire head glowed with a crimson blood light that soared to the sky, illuminating everything around.

"Ah..."

Lu Ling's face was contorted in agony as he roared in pain, unable to fathom the torture he was enduring.

Meanwhile, miles away, Chen Yu suddenly felt something strange within him. Something that didn't belong to him had abruptly surged, as if responding to a powerful call and wishing to break free.

"This is, what Lu Ling had me swallow..."

Chen Yu felt a shiver run through his heart.

The departure of this thing was good news, but the situation was surely not as simple and positive as Chen Yu believed.

Descendants of the Blood-sucking Clan from the Blood Race royalty had been devoured by him; the Blood Race would definitely go to any lengths to deal with Chen Yu; this was just the beginning.

He immediately circulated his Body Technique power and True Essence Power to suppress it.

The two forces contested with each other!

At first, neither could overpower the other, but Chen Yu's endurance was superior, eventually gaining the upper hand.

The Blood Dao Power belonging to Lu Ling gradually quieted down as if resigning to its fate.

"Hahaha, mere Blood Race, what can you do to me!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, at that moment, that power erupted once again, becoming wildly uncontrollable like a frenzy, breaking through Chen Yu's constraints.

The Blood Dao Power belonging to Lu Ling coursed through Chen Yu's entire body, seeping inward and merging with him, even reaching his soul, causing his consciousness to momentarily perceive a distant place.

"Damn... what exactly have they done?"

Chen Yu's expression turned gloomy, feeling as if his body was crawling with vile things.

He tried to use the power of his heart but found no response.

His mysterious heart could suppress foreign powers, but only if that force was harming Chen Yu.

At this moment, Chen Yu merely felt as if some unclean thing had merged with him without causing any harm, even nourishing his body.

After all, that Blood Pill contained Lu Ling's lifeblood.

Lu Ling, being a descendant of the Blood Skull Clan, possessed profound cultivation and was on the verge of breaking through the Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm Peak.

"Better hurry back, Master is sure to have a solution."

Chen Yu thought to himself, speeding off to fly toward Black Demon Valley.

Inside the central castle of Blood Orchid Ancient Village.

Lu Ling's tragic screams echoed around, continuous, with lingering echoes that made the hair on one's skin stand up, sending shivers down the spine.

Suddenly, that blood-colored palm slightly lifted.

Lu Ling's dreadful screams halted abruptly, and his whole body collapsed limply to the ground, his head's skin seeming somewhat shriveled.

"King, how is the situation?"

The Black Robed Elder asked softly.

The Blood Spirit King pondered for a moment before transmitting telepathically, "I initially intended to forcibly extract Lu Ling's essence blood using a secret technique of the Blood Clan, and with my power, anyone within a hundred li would sense his presence as long as he's in the vicinity. Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, Chen Yu's body power was too strong, and with the Blood Spirit King still recovering from his injuries, the attempt had failed.

However, the Blood Spirit King then resorted to another Forbidden Technique of the Blood Clan!

"This Forbidden Technique has consumed part of my vital energy and also required lowering Zhuo Buhuan's cultivation as a price, but it was successfully cast! From now on, within a hundred li, Lu Ling will be able to sense this child's location!"

The Blood Spirit King's voice carried endless authority, yet there was a sense of weakness that could be felt.

"Only Lu Ling can sense him. Could this be the forbidden art of my 'Blood People Clan'—Blood Soul Fusion Technique?"

The Black Robed Elder appeared slightly startled.

It was said that once this technique was used, the two holy spirits would form a connection of blood and soul.

If one suffered damage, the other would sustain the same injuries.

Of course, distance would affect the result—too far apart, and there would be no mutual influence.

This Forbidden Technique was considered one of the most dangerous of the Blood People Clan; if activated, the caster would explode, and the enemy would suffer severe injuries; it was a last resort for the Blood People Clan to perish together with their foe.

"At least we now have a way to confirm this child's whereabouts; you all handle the rest and don't disturb me..."

After saying these words, the Blood Spirit King's presence completely vanished, seemingly falling back into a deep slumber.

Everyone in the grand hall breathed a sigh of relief as if they had just returned from a brush with death.

"Lu Ling, I will give you a chance to make amends!"

The Black Robed Elder turned to Lu Ling.

He relayed all the information he had learned from the Blood Spirit King to Lu Ling through a telepathic link.

"What? The Blood Soul Fusion Technique?"

Lu Ling's complexion was deathly pale; he did not expect the King to forcibly use such a Forbidden Technique with his body.

"All you need to do is determine Chen Yu's location and capture him, then you can first clear the Blood Soul Fusion Technique. This way, the injuries he sustains won't sync to your body, but at the same time, you'll lose the ability to sense his location!"

The Black Robed Elder entrusted all of this to Lu Ling and revealed the method to break the Blood Soul Fusion Technique.

After all, besides Lu Ling, no one else could find Chen Yu.

"Don't worry, elder, I will surely capture Chen Yu and rescue the Young Ancestor!"

Lu Ling was determined, his expression grim.

"If you confirm the Young Ancestor is no more, then perish together with him!"

The Black Robed Elder's voice slowly spread, heavy and irresistible, with the final words hitting like a verdict, leaving no room for doubt, only execution.
