How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 147 - 0146 Dark-Skinned Youth
Central Garden, outside the blood-colored membrane.
Chang Xuan and two others stopped, watching as Chen Yu picked up a few stones and continuously threw them towards the blood-colored membrane.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Bang bang bang...
Several ordinary stones in a row struck a certain area of the blood-colored membrane.
The result.
Most of the dozens of stones shattered into pieces, but many fragments entered the garden.
Expressions of joy spread across the faces of Chang Xuan and the others.
Everyone noticed that the stones thrown by Chen Yu formed a circle with a diameter of several feet.
That is to say.
Chen Yu had outlined a vulnerable area.
"Junior Brother Chen, when did you start studying arrays?"
Nangong Li looked on in amazement.
Even with his eyes enhanced by the Green Eyes Essence Blood and exerting his mental secret techniques, he could only barely glimpse some general energy fluctuations, nowhere near as precise as Chen Yu.
Chang Xuan and Mu Xueqing also wore faces of surprise.
"Hurry and seize the time, the strength of the array in this area is only temporarily blocked."
Chen Yu did not answer.
Through the sensations in his heart, he discovered that the area presented a brief discontinuity, reducing the restrictive power to its minimum.
So much so that even ordinary stones could not be completely shattered.
Presumably, anyone protected by Inner Qi within the Peak of Refining could pass through.
With a dash!
Chen Yu took the lead, leaping forward from the circle marked by the stones, passing straight through.
Plop!
A faint, dim blood-colored ripple appeared on the membrane, but it did not harm Chen Yu in the slightest.
The next moment.
Chen Yu entered the Central Garden, feeling a blood Dao power several times stronger than outside.
Zing! Whoosh whoosh!
Chang Xuan, Mu Xueqing, and Nangong Li followed through the area traversed by Chen Yu, entering the Central Garden.
The three of them were unharmed, though their Inner Qi was faintly reduced by half.
"Did we just get in?"
Nangong Li, surprised and pleased by their smooth entry.
The Central Garden was the essence of the Blood Burial Garden, previously used for cultivating rare treasures and spirit pets.
Entering this garden earlier meant having a greater advantage.
"Let's move together."
Chang Xuan proposed.
They all nodded in agreement, acknowledging that the strength of their four-person team was considerable.
Chen Yu and Chang Xuan were among the top combatants of the Three Sects Camp.
After Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing advanced to the Mid-stage of Refining, their strength was formidable enough to oppose the top five disciples of the Bone Demon Palace.
Next.
The four started to cautiously explore the Central Garden.
In their view were ancient garden buildings, including pavilions, corridors, rockeries, and man-made rivers.
Moreover, numerous blood-colored exotic flowers and plants adorned the site, even the trees stained with blood.
A chilling and eerie feeling arose in everyone's hearts.
"It's very eerie."
Chen Yu walked up to a big tree spotted with blood and plucked a blood-colored leaf.
What happened next shocked everyone.

Upon being plucked, the blood-colored leaf wilted at an alarming rate, quickly turning yellow and dark.
"This tree is at least a thousand years old, and its leaves are also extremely valuable medicinal materials. However, the moment they are plucked, their spirit essence completely dissipates."
Chang Xuan's expression slightly darkened.
"Look quickly, that seems to be Blood Scale Fruit!"
Nangong Li's eyes shone, staring at an orchard area.
This orchard covered several acres and was planted with half-human-height fruit trees bearing fruits with blood-colored scale patterns.
The whole area was enveloped by a dim blood-colored light screen.
"Blood Scale Fruit? The legendary spirit fruit!"
Chen Yu was taken aback.
It was said that consuming Blood Scale Fruit could enhance one's physique and greatly increase strength, giving ordinary people "Innate Divine Strength."
Moreover.
The medicinal value of this fruit for alchemy was several times that of Spirit Ginseng of the same age.
Some precious Spirit Pills suitable for those above the Guiyuan Realm could use Blood Scale Fruit as a crucial ingredient.
It could be said.
Here, any single Blood Scale Fruit was worth more than the segment of Five Hundred Years of Yin Corrosion Bamboo obtained by Chen Yu.
"Blood Scale Fruit? Truly regrettable and lamentable."
A dark-skinned young man clad in beast skin armor walked up from the side.
Hmm?
Chang Xuan and Chen Yu were taken aback. The opponent had approached so close without their clear perception.
This dark-skinned young man was not well remembered by the group.
It was vaguely recalled that he was a mysterious disciple who had recently joined the Bone Demon Palace and had achieved the Peak of Refining.
"A disciple of the Bone Demon Palace!"
Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing's Inner Qi surged, their faces bearing killing intent, ready to strike at any moment.
Chang Xuan's eyes flashed sharply, his hand already on his knife handle.
However.
Facing the locked-on aura of the three prodigies, the dark-skinned young man seemed completely unaware, appearing lazily unconcerned.
Chen Yu held a deep impression of this person's remarkable abilities.
Chang Xuan and the others together were formidable, but even the Demon Clown or Jiang Ping from the top three of the Bone Demon Palace secret siblings would likely have to avoid their edge.
The way the opponent behaved, he was completely ignoring such threats.
"Hey! You must be Chen Yu. I thought only Mei Changqing could barely qualify as my opponent upon entering this place, but now it seems there's another."
The dark-skinned young man's gaze only briefly settled on Chen Yu's face, without even looking at Chang Xuan and the others.
Hearing this.
Chen Yu and Chang Xuan's group could not help but be taken aback.
The audacity of this dark-skinned youth was certainly not ordinary!
In his eyes, Mei Changqing, the leading talent of the Bone Demon Palace, was merely a "barely" worthy opponent?
"It is indeed I. As a disciple of the Bone Demon Palace, do you really intend to take on the four of us alone?"
Chen Yu responded indifferently.
Instinctively, he sensed a pressure from this individual that was no less intimidating than Mei Changqing's, and there seemed to be an underlying unknown power as well.
"I am Lu Zhuo. I have no interest in the enmity between the Bone Demon Palace and the Three Sects Camp. I only hope that you will not become my enemies."
The dark-skinned youth shrugged his shoulders.
Then, he leisurely made his way deeper into the garden.
Before leaving, the dark-skinned youth's gaze reluctantly swept over the Blood Scale Fruits.
"What background does this guy have? Such big talk."
Nangong Li looked visibly frustrated.
After this episode.
Their attention once again fell on the area where the Blood Scale Fruits were growing.
This area was covered with a layer of special blood-colored light screen, yet it was very dim.
The array restrictions here, like the light membranes outside the garden, had been in existence for too long and had many flaws.
Following the same method.
Chen Yu and the others broke through the weak points and stepped into the blood-colored light screen.
Nangong Li stepped forward and carefully picked one.
But as a result.
The Blood Scale Fruit had barely left the branch when it quickly withered and shrank, completely devoid of any spiritual energy.
"Could it be that all the natural treasures in the entire garden cannot be harvested?"
Nangong Li was somewhat devastated.
The legendary treasures were within reach, but as soon as they left their host, they immediately turned into dead objects.
"There must be a massive 'Absorption Array' here in this Central Garden. All the treasures grown here are being drawn upon as nourishment, it seems to be nurturing and feeding something."
Mu Xueqing's bright eyes sparkled.
"That's exactly it," Chen Yu sighed.
He suddenly thought of the legend about the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Soul Flower. The situation here coincided with the secrets disclosed by that female disciple from the Bone Demon Palace.
Over the next hour.
Chen Yu and his group saw many natural treasures and bizarre plants.
However, most of the treasures were individually guarded by array restrictions.
Even if they could barely enter, what they obtained was merely a heap of waste.
Of course, there were exceptions.
The massive Absorption Array that enveloped the Central Garden also had its few flaws.
Some areas not entirely covered by the array grew some rare materials, which, when harvested, were unaffected or only lost some of their spiritual medicinal potency.
At one moment.
In front of a pile of rocks, they discovered several green-blood-colored mushrooms and two strands of Black Blood Strange Grass.
This place was completely devoid of the blood-colored array.
"This area seems not to be covered by the 'Absorption Array'."
Chen Yu's face showed elation.
After some time exploring, everyone could roughly guess which areas were not covered by the absorption array or only slightly covered with minimal effect.
Green Blood Poison Mushroom, Black Blood Strange Grass.
These two rare materials, several hundred years old and absorbed with the local essence of the Blood Burial Garden, contained Blood Dao Power.
These mutated centuries-old materials might be far more valuable than their original varieties.
"That green-blood-colored mushroom originally should be the 'Green Moss Poison Mushroom,' one of the deadliest poisons in the world."
"A five-hundred-year-old 'Green Moss Poison Mushroom' can kill a Qi Transformation Innate, but the potency of this mutated variant is difficult to estimate."
Only one type was identified by the four.
When it was time to distribute their findings.
Chen Yu and Chang Xuan had certain priority rights.
Among them, Chen Yu weighed his options and chose a Green Moss Poison Mushroom and a strand of Black Blood Strange Grass.
He had initially planned to choose two Green Moss Poison Mushrooms.
After all, the Green Moss Poison Mushroom could topple a Qi Transformation Innate, especially a mutated variety.
But then, the thought that the nearby Black Blood Strange Grass could grow unharmed next to such a deadly poison clearly made it no ordinary plant.
Moreover, there were fewer of the strange grass than the mushrooms.
Thus, he chose one of each.
...
Leaving this rocky area.
Afterward, a semi-open-air garden building appeared ahead, separated by a metal wire mesh with faint blood-colored electric patterns emerging on it.
This setup somewhat resembled the Spirit Pet shops on Hidden Lake Island, but on a much larger scale.
Roar!
Ferocious beast roars occasionally emitted from the mesh-covered open-air building, shaking the soul.
Indistinctly.
Chen Yu sensed auras as strong as those in the Qi Transformation Realm emanating from inside, with several even nearing the Guiyuan Realm.
Swoosh!
In the semi-open air within the mesh, several massive birds fluttered their wings several meters in span, stirring up fierce sand and fierce winds.
The flying birds in the air each exuded an aura at least comparable to a Qi Transformation Innate.
Among them, one large bird with a gold beak and red feathers emitted a formidable pressure, faintly nearing the Guiyuan Realm and occasionally displaying a layer of golden patterned red flames on its body.
Moreover.
Inside the wire mesh building, there were also various powerful ancient beasts on the ground.
One enormous Blue Horned Rhinoceros, resembling a small hill, emitted a pressure not inferior to the bird with the gold beak and red feathers; the ground trembled slightly as it moved.
"Golden Beak Flame Bird! Qingluan Giant Rhinoceros! Barbaric Stone Ape... These are all legendary rare birds and ancient beasts!"
Chang Xuan and the others were dumbfounded.
Chen Yu sensed their conditions and found that these rare birds and ancient beasts, despite their daunting presence, were actually quite weak internally.
"This must be the Treasure Beast Garden, but the rare birds and ancient beasts inside seem also to be indirectly siphoned of their essence and vigor by the 'Absorption Array'."
Mu Xueqing explained.
"Exactly."
Chang Xuan exclaimed, "These are not at their prime. I believe that at their peak, that Golden Beak Flame Bird, Qingluan Giant Rhinoceros, and other ancient rare beasts were definitely above the Guiyuan Realm, even during the middle and late stages of the Guiyuan Realm. As ancient beasts with powerful bloodlines, their strength surpasses humans of the same Guiyuan level."
"Doesn't that mean that at their peak, any one of them could crush those old undying of the Guiyuan Realm in Chu Country?"
Nangong Li gasped in shock.
