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

The Great Yu Alliance, as the core of the Four Great Domains, is bustling with activity during this time of war, with people continuously coming and going from the Endless Blue Sea to this place.

One of the matters that many strong individuals pay attention to is the contribution list.

"Chen Yu, ranked third on the contribution list!"

"Who is this Chen Yu?"

"Is it the Chen Yu who is fourth on the Southern Domain's 'Heaven's Pride List'?"

This news spread quickly.

In fact, the rise of a certain name on the contribution list is not an uncommon occurrence.

The key point is, Chen Yu's rise has been incredibly rapid.

Gradually, information about Chen Yu spread to the Four Great Domains and the Endless Blue Sea.

Eastern Domain.

The Yin Clan, one of the six Middle Ancient Clans, was still searching for traces of Chen Yu. However, their efforts were dwindling because there hadn't been a trace of Chen Yu for too long.

But on this very day, the news came that Chen Yu had appeared in the Great Yu Alliance.

Inside the Yin Clan's main hall.

A few high-level members had gathered temporarily.

"Chen Yu, you finally show yourself again!"

An old man in plain clothes shouted coldly, his eyes flashing with fierce rays.

This person was none other than Yin Changshan, the leader who initially led the Yin Clan's forces to capture Chen Yu.

During the first siege of the Meng Family Village, Chen Yu's appearance led his plans to complete failure.

The second attempt to encircle Chen Yu also ended in failure, and they lost another Half-step Condensing Star Realm expert.

Twice defeated, he was severely punished by the clan.

"But this person is hiding in the Great Yu Alliance..."

A high-level member hesitated slightly.

In fact, not everyone in the Great Yu Realm was seeking the Meng Clan traitor.

Only the Yin Clan and two other Middle Ancient Clans were doing so.

Other forces might not even treat Chen Yu as a traitor.

"So what if he's hiding in the Great Yu Alliance? Killing people of the Yin Clan won't save him, no matter where he hides."

A hot-tempered high-level member shouted angrily.

"I must capture this boy with my own hands!"

Yin Changshan stood up, his whole body shrouded in ghostly aura, like a ferocious ghost walking out of hell.

It was clear that the Yin Clan members only learned that Chen Yu appeared in the Great Yu Alliance and did not know the specifics.

Had they known that Chen Yu's achievements included killing a Half-step Condensing Star Realm expert, Yin Changshan might not have spoken such words.

"To avoid accidents, I'll go with Brother Chang Shan!"

The hot-tempered middle-aged man also stood up.

After some discussion among certain high-level members of the Yin Clan, three Half-step Kings were finally appointed to go personally!

"Let's depart as soon as possible, lest that brat disappear again."

Yin Changshan suggested.

Back then, Chen Yu vanished without a trace after entering the Lost Mountains, as if disappearing from the world.

"Let's set out now!"

The two elders agreed.

Thus, the three Half-step Condensing Star Realm experts, led by Yin Changshan, embarked on their journey to the Great Yu Alliance.

...

The Great Yu Alliance, the core of the Great Yu Realm, is absolutely secure, with no need to worry about Blood Race assassinations.

At the same time, it is also a holy place for cultivation.

Chen Yu spent twenty thousand contributions to exchange for a high-level cave residence, where he could cultivate for a month.

Inside the cave residence, Chen Yu sat cross-legged.

"The cultivation environment here is almost comparable to the cultivation chambers within the Green Cloud Secret Realm."

Chen Yu observed the cultivation environment.

After all, this was the Great Yu Alliance, and it required twenty thousand contributions to use this cultivation cave for a month.

Chen Yu devoted himself to cultivating the 'Six Elements Returning to Heaven Technique,' refining True Yuan, and expanding his True Yuan Sea.

Currently, his primary focus was on enhancing his cultivation realm.

During wartime, no one could predict what would happen next.

In any case, improving cultivation strength as quickly as possible provides more security in unexpected situations.

Whoosh!

Within the cave residence, clouds and mist curled up and rolled incessantly.

A dense glow consistently surrounded Chen Yu, almost concealing his figure.

"What an astonishing cultivation effect."

Chen Yu marveled inwardly.

Is this the effect of an improved aptitude?

His cultivation speed had increased by a significant margin compared to before.

Now, Chen Yu's Spiritual Body aptitude was almost at the level of a supreme Spiritual Body, placing him among the top geniuses of the Great Yu Realm.

"Aptitude has a tremendous impact on cultivation. The further one progresses, the more evident this difference becomes."

Chen Yu reflected deeply in his heart.

In the early stages of the cultivation path, those with lesser Spiritual Body aptitudes might catch up to those with better ones through luck and effort.

But in later stages, this gap grows ever wider.

Even with numerous opportunities, if Chen Yu's cultivation aptitude hadn't improved, he likely wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

"Let's try the 'Blood Spiritual Body'!"

Chen Yu was eager to attempt it.

The Blood Spiritual Body is a type of mutated body; by burning the qi and blood within, the Spiritual Body aptitude is enhanced temporarily, thus increasing cultivation speed.

Among the Blood Race, this is the optimal body for cultivation.

Blood Race creatures with a Blood Spiritual Body hold a status far superior to ordinary Blood Race members.

Whoosh!

A formless red flame burst out from Chen Yu's body surface.

Soon after, his body blossomed with a blood-red glow, his whole being became as transparent as crystal, shining brightly.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered on the surface frantically poured into Chen Yu's body.

The mist inside the cave residence rolled and surged incessantly.

After a while, the Primordial Qi within the cave residence became much thinner than before.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of this special cultivation cave was continuously replenished, but Chen Yu's absorption speed was too fast for the Qi inside the cave to keep up.

However, the Blood Spirit Body could not last indefinitely.

Moments later, the unusual phenomena on Chen Yu's body disappeared, and his Spiritual Body's aptitude fell.

"As expected of the Blood Spirit Body, just then, my cultivation speed was approximately twice as fast as before."

Chen Yu felt pleasantly surprised.

The special nature of the Blood Spirit Body played a certain role in pushing him through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

That's precisely why the Blood Race places such importance on the Blood Spirit Body. Back then, when Young Master Wei saw Chen Yu's Blood Spirit Body, he was so jealous that he immediately challenged Chen Yu.

Time passed, and Chen Yu continued cultivating here.

Alongside the enhancement of his cultivation realm, he also did not neglect the practice of battle techniques and secret techniques.

"Six Flames Sword Finger," "Devil Decends Six Times," and "Heart-Slaying Technique" were all incredibly powerful methods.

"Six Flames Sword Finger" was cultivated to the third finger, "Devil Descends Six Times" was at the second tier; the progress of these was relatively slow.

But as for the "Heart-Slaying Technique," Chen Yu had just begun cultivating it, so it had relatively more room for progress.

...

One day, the Burning Sword King arrived at the Great Yu Alliance, coming straight to the door.

"Good lad, I really didn't misjudge you."

When the Burning Sword King saw Chen Yu, he wore a cheerful expression and laughed heartily.

Beside the Burning Sword King, there was also a figure clad in white.

That woman in white was exceptionally beautiful, as if out of this world, her jade-like features flawless, her delicate nose and willow-like eyebrows, her cold eyes like ice crystals, carrying enough coldness to keep others at a distance.

However, upon seeing Chen Yu, the coldness and chill in her eyes seemed to melt away like ice and snow, giving rise to a faint mist.

"Luofeng..."

Chen Yu's attention shifted from the Condensed Star King to that elegant figure in white.

As their eyes met, it was as if there were a thousand words they wanted to speak.

But sometimes silence surpasses words, and no amount of speech could express the feelings of that moment.

Chen Yu's eyes blurred for a moment, and a soft figure, as warm as jade, quickly approached, embracing him. Those pouting lips, furrowed brows, and the sorrow in those clear eyes made Chen Yu's heart tremble.

Involuntarily, Chen Yu also reached out and tightly embraced Ye Luofeng.

Beside them, the Burning Sword King's figure stood still, his expression stiffening as well.

He thought to himself, even though I'm a Condensed Star King, a dominant figure who commands great respect, could you two at least acknowledge my presence? Could you perhaps not ignore this King?

He wanted to shout that there were other people here.

But would doing so be a bit too inconsiderate?

The Burning Sword King's heart was overwhelmed with joy, only to be utterly wrecked by the affection in front of him.

"Sigh..."

The Burning Sword King sighed and was about to leave.

However, this sigh also snapped Chen Yu back to reality.

"Senior, when did you arrive?"

Chen Yu feigned ignorance, acting surprised.

"You rascal..."

The Burning Sword King's eyes widened, but ultimately he just shook his head without speaking, feeling quite hurt inside.

"This King won't bicker with you over trivial matters."

The Burning Sword King snorted slightly, then cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ahem, it's great that you returned so soon; this King is very pleased."

After Chen Yu left, Ye Luofeng had already pieced things together and inquired with the Burning Sword King, who then confessed everything.

If anything had truly happened to Chen Yu, then he would have found it hard to live in peace henceforth.

"Senior Burning Sword King, I risked my life, faced countless perils, and lurked within the Blood Race, only to finally obtain the intelligence..."

Chen Yu put on an expression as if he had gone through fire and water.

The Burning Sword King rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

Before coming here, he naturally went to the Battle Hall first and learned about Chen Yu's situation within the Blood Race.

Nine deaths and one life? Countless perils?

You had it quite comfortable within the Blood Race, holding a respected position as a Blood Brewing Master, not to mention the extraordinary status of a Young Ancestor, standing above all but one.

Thinking of this, the Burning Sword King became puzzled; others go undercover and genuinely live on edge, staying as low-profile as possible, not daring to be careless.

But Chen Yu not only went undercover with bravado but also took the position of Young Ancestor.

"Rest assured, this time you've performed a great deed. Not only is the intelligence you've stolen valuable, but just your exploits within the Blood Race alone could infuriate them to no end... this King won't short-change you."

The Burning Sword King regained his cheerful demeanor.

After saying this, he tossed over a glazed jade bottle, within which lay a translucent snow-white elixir.

"This is a Flying Star Pill!"

Flying Star Pill!

An elixir that increases the probability of breaking through to the Condensed Star Realm, valued at one million contributions!

The last time Chen Yu visited the Treasure Hall, he had noticed this elixir.

In ordinary times, the Flying Star Pill might not hold such immense value, but at this moment of inter-realm warfare, King-level battle power is of utmost importance.

"Thank you, Senior,"

Chen Yu was immensely joyful.

Among the items recorded on the five steles within the Treasure Hall, the Flying Star Pill was among the priciest.

Of course, there were other items of similar value to the Flying Star Pill.

"It's nothing. I used my privileges to requisition it for you at a fifty percent discount: five hundred thousand battle merit, already deducted from your contributions,"

Chen Yu's face fell, he cast a slightly disdainful glance at the Burning Sword King.

He had thought it was free.

"Ahem, extraordinary elixirs like the Flying Star Pill are hard to come by even at a price; even at half-price, you've saved fifty thousand battle merits."

The Burning Sword King coughed lightly, emphasizing the importance of the Flying Star Pill.

"Additionally, due to your outstanding contributions, the Great Yu Alliance rewards you with a 'War Command,' granting you numerous privileges, such as a ten percent discount on all exchanges at the Treasure Hall."

Having concluded everything, the Burning Sword King didn't linger long, lest he disturb the young couple.
