How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 166 - 0163: Dividing the Spoils

"Junior Brother Chen, you're awake..."

A familiar girl's voice, filled with joy.

Chen Yu opened his eyes and found his back drenched with cold sweat, his body completely bare, lying on top of a strikingly beautiful girl.

"Tong Yuling?"

In his line of sight, he saw a face as lovely as a peach blossom, with a bright red blood lotus mark between her eyebrows, exuding a dignified and mysterious aura.

At this moment, Tong Yuling's skin was white as jade and smooth as silk, glowing warmly, her beauty outshining her past appearance.

"Junior Brother Chen, you seemed to be having a nightmare just now."

Tong Yuling's face turned red as she avoided Chen Yu's bronzed, masculine body.

A nightmare?

Chen Yu noticed tear stains on his cheeks.

Suddenly.

He remembered that in that bizarre dream, he had turned into a baby, crying his heart out.

The dream was very strange yet brought him a feeling of familiarity.

He vaguely remembered.

In the dream, there appeared a mysterious heart, and a couple seemed to give Chen Yu a sense of kinship.

"Suppose that dream was real. But my parents in the secular Chen Family certainly do not possess such awe-inspiring abilities..."

Chen Yu frowned slightly.

Just then.

Chen Yu realized the awkwardness of the atmosphere, as he was almost naked, his skin intimately against the delicate girl, Tong Yuling.

Tong Yuling's face was flushed red, her hands clutching her skirt, seeming very nervous and at a loss.

Chen Yu smiled wryly and immediately took a Yunyue Sect uniform out of his storage bag to put on.

Then, something occurred to him.

"Senior Sister Tong, what happened after I fell into a deep sleep? Are you back to normal now?"

Chen Yu quickly checked his body.

There wasn't a single scar on his body. The injuries perviously caused by the Blood Crystal Flame had all been healed by his body's strong self-recovery ability.

Additionally.

He sensed in his left arm a blood cocoon, enclosing a crystal clear blood bead the size of a thumb.

This bead enclosed intensely compressed Blood Flame's essence, identical to the Blood Crystal Flame, but completely dormant now.

"It seems that all the Blood Crystal Flame has been absorbed by Junior Brother Chen's body..."

Tong Yuling explained.

"As for me, there are some additional fragments of memory in my mind, even another life's experiences."

Complex and confused emotions flickered through Tong Yuling's bright eyes.

She couldn't even distinguish whether she was truly Tong Yuling or another awe-inspiring, peerlessly elegant practitioner of Blood Path.

However.

This young man in front of her loomed large in her memories, and she had no small fondness for him.

Chen Yu stared at Tong Yuling, deep in thought.

No matter what, Tong Yuling at least dominated this body for now, and the other memory fragments might influence her personality, for better or for worse.

"By the way, give this to Brother Chen."

Tong Yuling handed over a small metallic sphere.

Chen Yu paused, slightly hesitant.

Tong Yuling hastily said: "Junior Brother Chen saved Yuling once again, and the other half of the Blood Soul Flower has been sealed inside my body..."

After speaking,

Tong Yuling looked somewhat embarrassed.

After all.

The Ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower had been acquired by Chen Yu and Lu Zhuo among other top disciples through life-and-death struggles.

"No worries."

Chen Yu waved his hand and accepted the metal sphere.

The massive lifeblood and Blood Soul Power contained in the Blood Soul Flower were not something he could bear or absorb.

He couldn't monopolize this flower. Taking it back would only bring trouble to Yunyue Sect.

And this small metal sphere could activate a Postnatal Stage Puppet with defensive power comparable to Qi Transformation Innate, which was more practical for Chen Yu.

Following this,

Tong Yuling shared the method to activate the small metal sphere, teaching him the technique to refine and control the puppet.

Chen Yu, half-believing, pondered over the technique once.

This technique involved the use of spiritual power. With his cultivation in Cloud Evil Fist reaching the peak realm, Chen Yu's spiritual power was far stronger than his peers.

An hour later,

Chen Yu had initially mastered the technique and activated the metal sphere.

Buzz!

The metal sphere unfolded, brilliant white light fog flashed, revealing a puppet about a zhang tall, covered in black armor.

Chen Yu estimated that even the puppet's sword, shield, and armor's hardness were comparable to High Grade Treasures.

Tong Yuling pressed a couple of points under the puppet's armpit.

Click!

The sound of a mechanism echoed as a compartment inside the puppet's armpit opened, revealing four shiny, slightly dim yuan stones embedded in an Array.

"These are four genuine yuan stones, half consumed. More can be replaced after they are spent..."

Tong Yuling explained the principle.

Chen Yu marveled, controlling the sword and shield puppet with the spiritual technique.

But initially,

Chen Yu's control over the puppet was not very smooth.

The sword and shield puppet made a series of attacking and defending moves in front of him, appearing somewhat clumsy and amusing.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the great hall.

Instantly, Chen Yu used the spiritual technique to shrink the sword and shield puppet into a metal sphere and stuffed it into his storage bag.

Soon,

A purple fox, leading a charming young girl, entered the ancient hall.

"Ying'er."

Chen Yu's expression changed as he quickly got up.

"Hehe, luckily Xiao Zi led the way, or else I wouldn't have found Brother Yu so quickly."

Chen Ying'er beamed with joy.

Swoosh!

The Purple Fox leapt onto Chen Ying'er's shoulder, its gaze fixed intensely on Chen Yu.

It looked as though Chen Yu owed it several million yuan stones.

"Brother Yu, it's asking you for the Blood Soul Flower."

Chen Ying'er said mischievously.

Chen Yu gave a bitter smile and showed a look of difficulty.

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

The ten-thousand-year Blood Soul Flower was split in two—half was obtained by the Bone Demon Palace, the other half was ingested by Tong Yuling.

"In fact, a significant portion of the essence of the Blood Soul Flower is concentrated in the Blood Soul Bud. Consuming this bud nurtures the soul, enriches the spirit, and boosts life potential. For those below the Guiyuan Realm, its significance is extraordinary."

Tong Yuling opened her mouth with a smile upon hearing this.

Chen Yu took out the Blood Soul Bud, which had been bitten once.

Once this object appeared,

the purple fox got excited and started jumping up and down.

Swoosh!

At the same moment, a silver-spotted, black speck dashed out and came in front of Chen Yu.

It was the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

Both spirit pets looked expectedly at the Blood Soul Bud.

"This Blood Soul Bud contains extremely pure Blood Soul Essence. It is more than enough for the two of you and your two pets to share."

Tong Yuling suggested.

Chen Yu nodded and prepared to share the Blood Soul Bud.

But suddenly,

a fierce light flashed in his eyes, skimming over the purple fox on Chen Ying'er's shoulder.

Swish!

Chen Yu's body flashed with black iron markings, and with his heart gathering strength, he turned into an afterimage and swiftly grabbed for the Purple Fox.

The Purple Fox screamed, a flash of shock crossing its eyes as it blurred into a purple shadow.

Eh?

Chen Yu's grasp failed by an inch.

This fox's speed was not inferior to Chen Yu's, who was powering his heart and activating his black iron bloodline.

In terms of agility and nimbleness, it was even somewhat superior.

However,

right as the fox dodged, a bloody afterglow streaked by its side.

Plop!

A mass of bloody aura shadow enveloped the Purple Fox from a distance, causing it to halt mid-air.

It was Tong Yuling, who acted with a smiling demeanour.

The strength she displayed at this moment was almost comparable to the Postnatal Qi Transformation, and her techniques surpassed those of an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Chen Yu's heart gathered its maximum power and his black emperor bloodline activated, his speed faintly surpassing that of Lu Zhuo at his peak.

The Purple Fox only felt a formidable evil qi, accompanying a punch, hitting its body, making it completely disoriented.

The next moment,

it was held mid-air by Chen Yu, its limbs scrabbling, but to no avail.

Chen Yu's arm, as solid as a steel clamp, held it tight.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing…"

Chen Ying'er looked anxious and distressed, almost on the verge of crying.

The captured Purple Fox immediately showed a tearful, pitiful expression, arousing sympathy.

"What kind of spirit pet contract did you sign with this fox?"

Chen Yu asked sternly.

"Of course, it's an equal contract! Little Purple was very helpful to me in the Blood Burial Garden, and I gained quite a lot…"

Chen Ying'er replied as if it were a matter of course.

Chen Yu sneered and immediately recounted the "historical truth" of signing contracts with ancient beasts, from three to four hundred years ago.

"This type of contract is not solid, mainly because it imposes no restrictions on the spirit pets. The ancient beasts and rare birds within the Blood Burial Garden can indeed exploit this loophole to escape from this place…"

Tong Yuling nodded in agreement.

Under the influence of both, Chen Ying'er finally showed a trace of doubt and fear.

"Fox! If you want to live, or truly want to follow Ying'er, then sign an ordinary spirit pet contract."

Chen Yu said threateningly, his face carrying a hint of evil qi.

Upon hearing this,

the Purple Fox struggled desperately and shook its head, showing a firm refusal.

"I think it's better like this. Ying'er can sign a 'life-and-death equal contract' with it, where both sides interact sincerely and are absolutely equal, and neither can harm the other."

Tong Yuling suggested.

Life-and-death?

Chen Yu was taken aback and looked at Tong Yuling questioningly.

Tong Yuling secretly transmitted her voice: "This fox possesses the rare 'Heavenly Fox' bloodline, its potential far surpasses ordinary ancient beasts and is almost comparable to some legendary Holy Beasts. It's already fortunate that Ying'er can sign such a restrictive equal contract with it."

Heavenly Fox bloodline?

Chen Yu was greatly surprised; this was the bloodline of a legendary top-grade ancient beast.

As for the life-and-death situation, with the fox's strength and potential, it was actually in favor of Chen Ying'er.

"Moreover, after signing this contract, outsiders will find it hard to take this spirit pet away from Ying'er's hands."

Tong Yuling added.

"Okay."

Chen Yu nodded.

After pondering for a long time, the Purple Fox finally agreed to sign the life-and-death equal contract.

After all, the fox was trapped in the Blood Burial Garden as a nutrient source being extracted from. Now it was completely controlled by Chen Yu.

Moments later,

Chen Ying'er and the Purple Fox both slashed their palms, and with Tong Yuling's guidance, their fresh blood formed a complex, blurred pattern of blood marks in mid-air.

The pattern twisted and soon turned into an indistinct fluctuation that merged into both Chen Ying'er and the Purple Fox.

Afterwards,

Chen Yu, Chen Ying'er, and the two spirit pets began to share the Blood Soul Bud.

Pluck!

The Blood Soul Bud was divided into four pieces, each person and spirit pet taking a share.

"Ah…"

In the void, a babyish voice screamed in pain.

Tong Yuling, however, declined to partake, as she had already obtained half of the Blood Soul Flower and it was preserved within her body, likely taking a long time to absorb.

Pop, pop, pop!

First, the two spirit pets quickly devoured their respective shares of the Blood Soul Bud.

After consuming its portion, the Iron Moon Strange Insect showed a vivid layer of blood-colored light film emerging on its surface, its brightness growing stronger.

After a long while,

the insect's blood-colored light film condensed into a layer of blood cocoon and quickly fell silent.

"Congratulations Junior Brother Chen, the Iron Moon Corpse Worm was already of an extraordinary grade, and this one is even a variant. After consuming the Blood Soul Bud, its potential grade will increase even further. Once this insect awakens, it will at least be a Treasure Insect of the Postnatal Qi Transformation stage!"

Tong Yuling said with a smiling expression.
