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

Inside the secret chamber, Chen Yu's True Qi rapidly transformed into Half-step True Essence, and the Half-step True Essence into True Essence.

Although the process was cumbersome, it flowed relatively smoothly.

Directly transforming True Qi into True Essence would simplify the steps but make it extremely difficult.

As time elapsed, the entire chamber was filled with a layer of dark demonic mist, which escaped outward.

Soon, the demonic presence outside grew denser, forming a cluster of oppressive dark clouds that continuously churned, as if hiding something terrifying; the intangible demonic power kept climbing.

At this moment, all the strong figures within the city were alarmed.

"Such an anomaly, could it be Deputy Commander Wei attempting to break into the Guiyuan Realm?"

A high-ranking official exclaimed.

The next moment, a square-faced man rushed out—it was Deputy Commander Wei.

"Ah? It's not Deputy Commander Wei. Then, who is attempting to break into the Guiyuan Realm?"

Another person appeared surprised.

Chen Yu's attempt to break into the Guiyuan Realm was not disclosed to others; only the Fire Scale Beast and Ye Luofeng were aware.

With their presence, that was sufficient; no one within the city could disturb him.

"It's Commander Chen."

Deputy Commander Wei's expression turned solemn.

He had lingered at the Innate Peak for nearly ten years without attempting the Guiyuan Realm; now, a much younger junior was attempting it in front of him, which made Deputy Commander Wei feel a sense of defeat.

"Should we sabotage it..."

A thought flickered through Deputy Commander Wei's mind, but he dismissed it instantly.

When Chen Yu returned, he had brought Ye Luofeng along.

Moreover, interfering with the birth of a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse at this crucial moment could likely get him branded a traitor.

"It's actually Commander Chen attempting the Guiyuan Realm!"

"My god, how young is he!"

The crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

"Whether he can succeed is still unknown."

An elderly man said.

He had seen people fail to reach the Guiyuan Realm, and Chen Yu's accumulation at the Innate Peak hadn't even been for five years; his rush to break through to the Guiyuan Realm was very likely to fail.

"Increase vigilance; no one is to disturb Commander Chen's breakthrough."

Deputy Commander Wei immediately issued the order.

Since he couldn't interfere with Chen Yu's breakthrough, he might as well leave a good impression on Chen Yu.

Instantly, people within the city mobilized, leaving only Ye Luofeng and the Fire Scale Beast near Chen Yu's closed-off area.

Everyone's attention was focused on Chen Yu's breakthrough, awaiting the final outcome.

At a certain moment.

"Report, the enemy is attacking!"

A sudden report caused many present to turn pale.

"What's the specific situation with the enemy?"

Deputy Commander Wei asked with a grave expression.

"About thirteen hundred people."

The intelligence officer replied, kneeling on one knee.

"Thirteen hundred?"

The middle and upper echelons began to ponder.

This number was not too large, but recently, Chu Country had withdrawn some personnel from this area.

As a result, the gap between the two sides had grown somewhat significant.

"Additionally..."

The intelligence officer hesitated.

"Additionally what?"

An irritated Deputy Commander Wei demanded.

"Additionally, the enemy leader seems to be... Meng Chixiong!"

The intelligence officer's voice suddenly lowered, trembling.

"Meng Chixiong!"

Suddenly, the entire city erupted, as countless strong individuals nearly jumped up on the spot.

"How could it be Meng Chixiong? How could he come here?"

"My god, Meng Chixiong, the tribal hero of the Nine Great Tribes of Snow Mountain, the General of Constant Victory, who recently even slain a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse from Yan Country!"

Many present were in a frenzy, flustered and completely in disarray.

"What should we do, Deputy Commander Wei?"

Several people immediately inquired.

"What else can we do but retreat!"

Deputy Commander Wei's spine chilled as he barked.

Against Meng Chixiong, what else could they do but retreat?

Besides, wasn't Meng Chixiong supposed to be on the battlefield in Yan Country? How had he appeared here? This was indeed disastrous news!

At that moment.

Whoosh whoosh!

The winds and clouds churned as a figure arrived outside the city walls, his hands behind his back and looking down from on high.

Everyone in the city looked up, as if not just a man stood in the sky, but a mountain, its invisible might weighing heavily on their spirits, making it hard to breathe.

"It really is Meng Chixiong!"

The crowd, seeing that figure, couldn't help but display a look of despair.

"This city, I'll take it."

Meng Chixiong's robust voice formed a wave of sound, blasting forth, penetrating everyone's spirits.

At this moment, the troops at the rear gradually arrived, lining up neatly, all looking up at Meng Chixiong in the sky, listening to his commands.

"Hmm?"

Meng Chixiong's gaze fell on the area behind the city where an unusual fluctuation was evident.

The secret chamber could block Spiritual Sense, preventing Meng Chixiong from sensing the details inside.

But he could tell that this was an indication of breaking into the Guiyuan Realm.

Just then, a beam of white light carrying astonishing Sword Intent pierced through everything, flying swiftly towards him.

"It's Miss Ye. She has now reached the Guiyuan Realm; we still have a hope to survive."

A man in the city exclaimed.

Bang!

Meng Chixiong's palm surged with True Essence, transforming into a red fiery light palm, striking out.

Ye Luofeng's Sword Dao attack was instantly nullified by that palm, the powerful force and scorching light forcing her to retreat.

"Where is Chen Yu?"

Meng Chixiong gazed at Ye Luofeng standing before him and asked in a low voice.

According to intelligence, Chen Yu was in this city, but what appeared was a female in the Guiyuan Realm.

If his guess was correct, this breathtakingly beautiful woman should be Ye Luofeng of the Lingjian Sect, who had just recently broken through to the Guiyuan Realm.

Ye Luofeng stared tightly at Meng Chixiong, her expression ice-cold, without replying.

In her eyes, there was no need to answer.

Because the person before her had come to kill Chen Yu.

"Miss Ye, let's retreat."

Deputy Commander Wei transmitted his voice.

Facing Meng Chixiong, Ye Luofeng was not his opponent either; retreating now might still offer a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, if they retreated, Chen Yu, who was secluded in a breakthrough, would undoubtedly die!

"You, as commanders, think of retreating instead of defending this place."

Ye Luofeng's chilly voice sounded, followed by another statement, "If anyone flees, I will execute them myself!"

Ye Luofeng's statement caused dissatisfaction among many, yet they didn't dare to rebut her, still relying on Ye Luofeng to survive.

"It seems I have arrived just in time."

Meng Chixiong gave a faint smile.

Through Ye Luofeng, he had confirmed that the person undergoing the breakthrough was indeed Chen Yu.

He suddenly felt that the timing of his arrival was too perfect; it was an excellent opportunity to eliminate Chen Yu.

At that moment, he remembered the four words the Great Witch had given him after divination: "Caution is paramount."

But now Chen Yu, still in his breakthrough, was so vulnerable and could be easily killed.

Was the Great Witch's divination far too off?

Or perhaps his own fortune surpassed Chen Yu's by far, even the heavens were assisting him.

Woosh!

Meng Chixiong's right hand suddenly raised, instantly erupting with searing light, then ferociously swung down.

In the void, it seemed as if a phantom fiery giant hand had formed and was pressing down, the terrifying heat turning the city walls bright red, with flickers of flames rising.

"Think again!"

Ye Luofeng's gaze icy, a streak of Azure Darkness Sword Light instantly swept forward.

The sword light surged out and struck the fiery giant hand, piercing inward.

"Huh? Just broken through to the Guiyuan Realm and yet so powerful."

Meng Chixiong smiled, not concerned, and swung another palm which overlaid the previous one.

Boom!

In the void, the fiery giant hand solidified slightly more, endless fire clouds rolling as if a sea of fire thunderously descended.

Ye Luofeng's expression slightly darkened, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

"Spirit Heart Sword Light!"

She swung her treasured sword rapidly, a swirling vortex of Azure Darkness Sword Light rushing upward.

Boom-bang!

That solidified and enormous fiery light palm pressed down, devouring that Azure Darkness Sword Light bit by bit.

Just as the fiery giant hand, resembling a sea of fire, was about to suppress Ye Luofeng,

determination appeared in her eyes, and she switched her treasured sword for an ancient-primitive cyan broken sword.

With this sword in hand, a surge of Sword Intent skyrocketed, shaking all directions.

Swoosh-boom!

Ye Luofeng, wielding the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword, seemed to merge with the sword, forming a cyan sword light that cleaved through the clouds, directly piercing through that blinding sea of fire.

"This sword!"

Meng Chixiong observed the sword in Ye Luofeng's hand, slightly surprised.

Originally, Ye Luofeng, who had just broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, he could have easily crushed her.

But wielding this sword, the strength Ye Luofeng suddenly unleashed piqued Meng Chixiong's interest.

However, his primary task was to kill Chen Yu, so he had to bring out some true skills to quickly deal with this woman.

Meng Chixiong slapped his storage bag, retrieving a pair of gloves, one red and one yellow, wearing them on both hands.

"Red Cloud Palm!"

Meng Chixiong lunged forward, approaching Ye Luofeng, with his right hand erupting in flames, emitting astonishing heat.

Boom!

A crimson red light palm, carrying a layer of rolling fire clouds, struck out with unstoppable momentum.

"Spiritual Artifact!"

Feeling the battle power enhancement from Meng Chixiong, Ye Luofeng identified the grade of Meng Chixiong's gloves.

In the Beiyuan Region, ordinary Guiyuan Realm individuals could not possess spiritual artifacts.

Bang!

Ye Luofeng, holding the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword, thrust forward fiercely, colliding with that crimson red light palm.

The next moment, another palm light roared towards her, Ye Luofeng immediately changed tactics, giving her all.

"A bit capable, but you're defeated!"

Meng Chixiong's whole body surged with momentum, a layer of crimson flame light erupting, faintly forming a flaming light dragon, its claws dancing and roaring.

"Red Dragon Sniff!"

That suddenly slammed palm, extremely powerful, reached her instantly.

Ye Luofeng hurriedly swept out a sword, but was instantly hammered back by that dragon pattern light palm.

Boom-bang!

Ye Luofeng's body violently crashed down, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood; her garments were slightly burnt, her icy skin beneath reddened by the burns.

"Miss Ye!"

Deputy Commander Wei, who was resisting the enemy forces' attacks, couldn't help but shout out upon seeing this scene.

Ye Luofeng had wielded the Heavenly Que Sword, and yet she was so easily defeated by Meng Chixiong.

Beside the secret chamber, the Fire Scale Beast's gaze was profound, patiently feeling around.

"The True Qi has completely transformed into Half-step True Essence, but there's still some time before forming the True Essence Lake,"

murmured the Red Flame King.

Swoosh!

In the sky, Meng Chixiong rapidly swooped down, his heavy and scorching oppression enveloping the secret chamber, instantly raising the temperature of everything around, as if roasted by flames, turning brightly red.

Inside the secret chamber, Chen Yu also felt a surge of high temperature.

Swoosh!

Far off, a flash of white light, and a figure in white appeared before the chamber, a cyan broken sword directly pointing forward.

Ye Luofeng, with traces of fresh blood at the corners of her mouth, had an unwaveringly cold gaze, staring intently at Meng Chixiong.

Meng Chixiong looked into Ye Luofeng's eyes, his heart briefly stirred, but instantly regained calm, "You will die."
