How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 155 - 152: Blood Crystal Flame

(In the previous two chapters, there was a historical error regarding the contents left in the three stone cabinets on the statue base: the Blood Lotus Skirt, a beast hide book, and a Token. The error has been corrected in the official version, and you can see the update by clearing the cache.)

Dark, fine threads hooked onto the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower quite smoothly, bringing immense joy to Mei Changqing and his two companions.

"Retrieve!"

Jiang Ping circulated her inner breath and pulled hard on the Black Profound Silk, attempting to yank out the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower.

Seeing this, a dark-skinned youth in the periphery corner wore a hint of mockery on his lips.

Pfft!

The Black Profound Silk tightened and tugged, moving the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower up an inch before abruptly stopping.

Huh?

Jiang Ping felt a resistance while pulling.

"What happened?"

Mei Changqing and Pang Tiancheng were startled, just as they were about to help with the pulling.

Suddenly.

Pop~

The Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower in the Blood Pond bloomed with a resplendent and translucent blood-colored radiance, forcefully shaking off the Black Profound Silk.

Following that.

The blood-colored stalks in the Blood Pond and the nearby blood-colored patterns all lit up simultaneously.

Whoosh~

Abruptly, a semi-transparent blood-colored storm, centered around the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower, swept across several dozen yards.

Boom!

The first to bear the brunt was the "Forest Black Wind Array" beside the Blood Pond, which violently trembled as its thick and dense dark fog erupted in bursts, shattering and dispersing.

That was not all.

Within the blood-colored storm, there was a strange blood-colored ripple that overwhelmed the minds of everyone present.

"Be careful!"

Mei Changqing's form wavered slightly.

Jiang Ping and Pang Tiancheng next to him turned pale, swaying and struggling to keep their footing.

The distant dark-skinned youth tensed up and quickly guarded his mind.

"Lord Xue Feng was right; the 'Blood Soul Flower' nurtured in the Blood Burial Garden for ten thousand years has birthed a 'Flower Spirit' and gained some level of intelligence."

Lu Zhuo murmured.

At the same time.

The dark-skinned youth observed the blood-colored patterns near the Blood Pond with surprise:

"The prohibitive Array Power in this place has weakened to such an extent that even the force close to the Qi Transformation Innate realm cannot instantaneously crush it."

According to his expectations.

The triggering of the prohibitive Array Power within the Blood Pond should, at the very least, obliterate the "Forest Black Wind Array."

At this moment.

The "Forest Black Wind Array" managed by the disciples of the Bone Demon Palace was violently shaking, constantly at risk of collapsing.

Should this array collapse, the disciples without cover would face a disaster.

If Mei Changqing and others knew what the dark-skinned youth was thinking at this moment, one wonders what they would feel.

"Join the array!"

Mei Changqing produced a large black flag in his hand, infused it with True Qi, and thrust it into the ground.

In an instant.

The dark fog of the "Forest Black Wind Array" in front of the Blood Pond solidified a bit, and the fog thrummed with streaks of black lightning.

"Eh! It actually invoked the power of 'Evil Thunder'; this must be a modified array. Moreover, Mei Changqing, in the Qi Transformation Realm, is, in fact, the core of the array."

The dark-skinned youth was full of surprise.

With Mei Changqing's intervention, the array's power greatly increased, especially the flickering of the black lightning, which held off the blood-colored ripples assaulting their minds.

"Jiang, try again. I can only sustain the array's full power for a moment."

Mei Changqing said urgently.

Jiang Ping nodded slightly, her hand's dark fine threads once again pulled taut, flicking towards the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower.

Pfft!

The dark, fine threads hooked onto the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower once again.

"Retrieve!"

This time, the three of them pulled on the silk together, dragging it towards the edge of the Blood Pond.

Especially Pang Tiancheng, who was naturally strong, gritted his teeth and exerted his power, his muscles bulging.

Pop!

The Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower started to shift upward bit by bit, vaguely about to break free from the blood-colored soil within the Blood Pond.

At that moment.

The three of them were excited, seeing the blood-colored stalks wriggling within the bloody soil.

Just then, an inexplicable chill came upon them.

Pop! Pupu!

Near the Blood Soul Flower, a large swath of Blood Crystal Flame suddenly churned, pouncing towards the location of the large array as if sentient.

The Blood Crystal Flame soared up in a flash, Mei Changqing and his companions felt a fatal chill.

Even Lu Zhuo, at a distance, shuddered.

"No good! This is indeed the 'Blood Crystal Flame', a well-known force within the True Fire Spirit Flames!"

Lu Zhuo hastily retreated.

True Fire Spirit Flames were not something one could encounter at the entrance level; even those in the Qi Transformation Realm had to avoid it by a wide margin.

Woosh!

As the vast swath of Blood Crystal Flame moved, it sprouted numerous blood-colored crystal-like little flame flowers, rushing into the "Forest Black Wind Array".

Hiss~

The dark fog and lightning on the surface of the array, in the face of the Blood Crystal Flame, dissolved as if made of paper.

"Aaah..."

Screams echoed.

Immediately.

Three disciples from the Bone Demon Palace, including one in the Late Stage of Organ Refining, touched by the Blood Crystal Flame, had their flesh ignited. Their bodies, along with their treasured armors, were burnt to a pile of blood-colored ashes.

"Let go quickly!"

Mei Changqing roared in shock, as a wave of blood flame pierced through the large flag in his hand, and he retreated explosively.

Hiss~

The thick shield in Pang Tiancheng's hand was struck by a small piece of blood flame, melting into a pool of black liquid.

"Ah!"

Pang Tiancheng screamed in retreat as a trace of blood flame splattered onto his arm, igniting and rapidly dissolving, spreading towards his entire body.

"Save me..."

The once fearsome Demon Clown issued a piercing scream.

Slash!

Mei Changqing waved a dark Qi blade from his palm, "pfft", cutting off Pang Tiancheng's arm.

Hiss~

The severed arm immediately turned into a puddle of blood.

"Thank you, Brother Mei!"

Having narrowly escaped, Pang Tiancheng quickly retreated with Mei Changqing and Jiang Ping.

As for that silk that had hooked onto the Blood Soul Flower, it had already fallen into the Blood Pond, melted away by the terrifying Blood Crystal Flame.

...

In just a few breaths.

The moment the Blood Crystal Flame appeared, the formation of the Bone Demon Palace was broken, and the casualties were severe.

Scrape! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Mei Changqing and his group of three, along with some surviving disciples, retreated a dozen or so yards away.

At the edge of the blood pool, some crystal-clear blood flames still pulsed, looking as transparent and exquisite as glass, dreamily beautiful.

Suddenly!

The entire blood pool shook violently, and large patches of the crystal blood flames tumbled within.

Buzz whoosh!

A streak of blood flame brilliance shot up from the blood pool into the sky.

"The 'Blood Crystal Flame' in the blood pool, born with the ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower, seems to have acquired a kind of sentience; it's fully awakened now. If it weren't for Mei Changqing and the others being well-prepared and reacting quickly, they would likely have been annihilated by the first wave of the aftermath," Lu Zhuo said with a hint of regret.

Beside the blood pool, the members of the Bone Demon Palace had just had a narrow escape and were still shaking with fear.

"This flame turns out to be the legendary True Fire Spirit Flame."

Mei Changqing's expression fluctuated uncertainly.

With such a terrifying True Fire Spirit Flame present, acquiring the Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower would be more than ten times harder.

"Lu Zhuo!"

Mei Changqing's gaze suddenly fixed on the dark-skinned youth, unfriendly.

"Brother Mei, you're not going to blame me for your failure to get the 'Blood Soul Flower', are you?"

The dark-skinned youth shrank his neck.

"You seem to be quite familiar with this place, including the recent True Fire Spirit Flame."

Mei Changqing's expression grew colder.

No sooner had he spoken than—

Scrape! Scrape! Scrape!

The remaining ten disciples of the Bone Demon Palace surrounded the dark-skinned youth.

Mei Changqing, Jiang Ping, and Pang Tiancheng, with their three powerful presences, locked onto Lu Zhuo.

"Let's talk, gentlemen. That burst of blood flame brilliance just now must've alerted more people from the Three Sects Camp, and it's not a good idea for us to fight to the death here."

Lu Zhuo said, waving his hand.

"Hmph! Whether you like it or not, you have to help us deal with that True Fire Spirit Flame and get the Blood Soul Flower. If we succeed, you'll get a share of the Blood Soul Flower."

Mei Changqing said coldly.

The dark-skinned youth's eyes met with Mei Changqing's for a moment.

In the end,

Lu Zhuo conceded with a wry smile, "Alright, I do have some knowledge of this flame. But whether it will work or not is still up to luck."

…

In the dilapidated ancient temple, before the blood-colored light screen—

Chen Yu and Liu Xin'er walked out of the entrance to the heritage hall and looked at the silver pattern blood curtain in front of them.

"This barrier will not affect those who are leaving."

Liu Xin'er said.

Looking at the tall youth beside her, Liu Xin'er's eyes revealed a complex expression.

No matter what, he was an important man in her life.

Chen Yu used his heart's intuition and sensed that the array's energy fluctuations indeed did not hinder those who were leaving.

Scrape, scrape!

Both of them passed through the blood curtain outside the hall smoothly.

However.

At the moment when they passed through the silver pattern blood curtain, the ancient token inside the Light Silver Crystal Space in Chen Yu's heart vibrated lightly, revealing mysterious tadpole-like ancient texts.

Hmm?

Chen Yu showed a look of surprise.

However, in front of Liu Xin'er, he did not take it out to study it.

"Chen Yu! Let's part ways here. But before we part, let me give you a piece of advice."

Liu Xin'er spoke.

Chen Yu nodded, signaling her to continue.

"In the Blood Burial Garden, don't ever provoke one person—his name is Lu Zhuo."

Liu Xin'er said earnestly.

After saying this, Liu Xin'er floated away.

"Lu Zhuo?"

Chen Yu suddenly remembered the dark-skinned youth from the Bone Demon Palace.

Without lingering on the thought,

Swoosh!

Chen Yu reached out and took out the mysterious token.

What was strange was that as soon as the token appeared, the flawed array barrier in front began to tremble inexplicably.

The ancient token displayed tadpole-like texts shimmering in silver brilliance, encircling a central sun totem divided into black and white.

Break!

Chen Yu instinctively waved the token, and in front of him, the silver pattern blood curtain automatically parted to create a slit about a foot wide.

"How interesting."

Chen Yu held the token, clicking his tongue in amazement.

But beyond that, he found no other use for the token, nor did he know its origin.

At that moment—

Whoosh boom!

In the distance, amidst a cluster of buildings, a column of blood flame brilliance shot up into the sky, majestic and dazzling.

Nearly the whole Central Garden could see it.

"Such powerful energy fluctuations..."

Chen Yu's heart began beating rapidly, several times more active than usual.

He quickly put away the token.

If such energy fluctuations could cause such an active response in his mysterious heart, there must be a great opportunity within them.

Scrape, swoosh!

Chen Yu's figure blurred as he dashed toward where the blood flame brilliance was rising.

It wasn't just Chen Yu.

At the same moment,

In the Central Garden, many elite disciples of the Three Sects Camp saw the blood flame soaring into the sky.

Many figures converged in that direction.

Half an hour later.

As Chen Yu approached the scene, he found himself in a palace complex, discovering a grand and imposing blood-colored palace.

If viewed from above,

One would see an elliptical void in the dome of the bloody palace.

Below that void was the open square of the blood pool where Mei Changqing, the dark-skinned youth, and others were.

Scrape! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At that time, a team of people, seven or eight figures, rushed over to this side.

Glancing to the side, Chen Yu recognized many familiar faces.

"Junior Brother Chen."

Leading the group, the duo were Chang Xuan and Huangfulin, with Nangong Li, Mu Xueqing, and others also present.

The group was pleasantly surprised to see Chen Yu,

Except the Seventh Prince Huangfulin, who looked a bit unnatural.

"Junior Brother Chen, your timing is perfect. According to our tracking analysis, this palace is the main core of the Blood Burial Garden, the 'Blood Sky Hall', and those people from the Bone Demon Palace have already entered it."

Chang Xuan said with a hint of joy.
