How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 457 - 0452: Chen Yu’s Support

Chu Country, jubilation filled the skies.

This battle could be said to be the most splendid one fought so far, not only blocking the tribes but also exacting a heavy toll on them.

In the hall of deliberation, numerous top-ranking officials gathered together, beaming and laughing, engaged in lively discussion.

"Hahaha, never fought such a satisfying battle."

Gongyang Mountain laughed heartily.

During the battle, he had been injured and no match for that robust old man, but in the end, it was his opponent who ended up dead.

"This time we’ve taught the Mantu Tribe a lesson; I reckon they won’t dare to be so arrogant in the future."

Lv Tiezu snorted softly, breaking into a smile.

"In this battle, the tribes lost four Guiyuan Realm warriors, including one at the peak of early Guiyuan Realm, and three others at the early stage; our side did not lose a single one from our Guiyuan Realm forces."

Master Fu spoke with a smile.

"All of this is thanks to Elder Chen and the Holy Beast Fire Qilin."

A supporter from Yan Country, looking towards Chen Yu and the Fire Qilin, spoke with admiration.

The four deceased from the Guiyuan Realm were all related to Chen Yu and the Fire Qilin.

Additionally, their victory wasn’t just about killing four Guiyuan Realm opponents; the Holy Beast Red-eyed Flood Dragon had been severely injured three times and wouldn’t likely recover any time soon.

Without the combat power of the Redeyed Jiao, what chances did the enemy have?

"I’ve heard that the Green Sea Divine Pearl from the Bi Hai Tribe was also damaged by Elder Chen."

The Water Moon Sect Supreme Elder said with a smile.

At its peak, the Green Sea Divine Pearl could exert tremendous power, especially considering that this spiritual artifact excels in area attacks, which influences the battlefield.

During this battle, the Green Sea Divine Pearl was drained and damaged, unable to return to its optimal state any time soon.

"The mighty Fire Qilin, battling the Mantu Clan Chief…"

Praises continuously echoed throughout the hall, with the reputations of Chen Yu and the Fire Qilin quickly rising.

Inside the hall, the status of Chen Yu and the Fire Qilin was now second only to the Chu Country Alliance Master, Absolute Yin Ancestor.

Meanwhile, Lv Tiezu watched all this with mix feelings.

Now he did not even dare to utter a threatening word towards Chen Yu, as in strength, influence, connections, prestige, and so forth, Lv Tiezu could not compare to Chen Yu.

At this moment, however, Lv Tiezu had discarded the thought of getting rid of Chen Yu, seeking only to preserve his own life, knowing that Chen Yu, despite his audacity, would not act against him amidst the grand conflict in Beiyuan.

"Should we strike while the iron is hot, striking a crippling blow and ending this war?"

The Water Moon Sect Master asked in a low voice.

There, among Guiyuan Realm fighters, even her as a sect master had to speak cautiously.

"We mustn’t."

The Absolute Yin Ancestor spoke.

"In this war, Chu Country has deployed all its elites, yet the Mantu Tribe and Bi Hai Tribe have still held back. To my knowledge, the previous generation’s clan chief of the Bi Hai Tribe is still alive, already at the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm, but he did not participate in this battle."

Master Fu immediately elaborated.

Chu Country was forced into a desperate situation, having to deploy all its might, or it would face utter ruin.

At the start, the Mantu Tribe, Bi Hai Tribe, and the Landing Tribe, the three big tribes, held absolute advantages, so they did not mobilize all their forces, keeping some in reserve.

Now, of course, the Landing Tribe no longer exists, extinguished by Chen Yu.

However, the leftovers from the Landing Tribe had since been divided up by the Mantu Tribe and Bi Hai Tribe.

After hearing Master Fu’s explanation, the joyful and excited mood of the crowd gradually subsided.

"Although the tribes are strong, they took heavy losses this time. Even if they mobilize fully again, I’m afraid they won’t have much advantage," said Gongyang Mountain.

In fact, Chu Country still had one powerful trump card left: the "Bone Demon King" from the Bone Demon Palace.

It was just that at the beginning of the war, having used the Bone Demon King had greatly exhausted its energy, requiring time to recover, thus it wasn’t deployed.

"After a period of time, when our palace’s Bone Demon King is rested, we will have the strength to fight both the Mantu and Bi Hai Tribes again, and our chances of winning will be even better."

Master Fu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The might of the Bone Demon King was something the three sects knew all too well; if this monster were to join the fray, their chances of victory would be increased.

The purpose of this meeting was to summarize the war and to decide on future actions.

The meeting quickly concluded and everyone dispersed.

The battle had not been easy, and many still had unhealed wounds.

Chen Yu arrived at the most inner cultivation forbidden area of Red Cover City. He too had injuries, but they were minor and had already healed on their own.

"The loot’s not bad."

Chen Yu checked the spoils of war in his hands.

Of the four Guiyuan Realm fighters who had perished, three were killed by him, and their storage bags ended up in Chen Yu’s hands.

Among them, the personal belongings of the peak early Guiyuan Realm skinny elder were the most abundant.

After some time, Chen Yu had sorted all the gains and placed them into the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

"The cultivation environment here is poor; it would be better to convert all these resources into Primordial Stones for cultivation."

That’s what Chen Yu thought.

Primordial Stones were the condensed essence of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. In places where the Primordial Qi was sparse, Chen Yu wouldn’t hesitate to exhaust Primordial Stones for cultivation.

For instance, when he had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, he had reluctantly spent fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Stones to set up the Great Success Array due to the scarcity of Primordial Qi.

Similarly, he could spend as many Primordial Stones on cultivation, though most would consider such expenditure extravagant, as ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones alone were worth a superior spiritual artifact.

Chen Yu did not concern himself with this for the time being; he would attend to it when the large trade fair held an auction, where he could earn more.

Then, Chen Yu began to analyze the previous battles, as doing so would benefit his improvement.

"The Guiyuan Realm is extremely difficult to challenge those beyond one’s level, but if Chen Yu were to give his all, the combat power he could exert already rivaled that of the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, which could be said to be quite terrifying.

However, were he to encounter a top practitioner in the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm, such as the Mantu Clan Chief, Chen Yu would be at a loss.

The Mantu Clan Chief’s attack, defense, speed, and other aspects were all exceptionally outstanding.

Chen Yu didn’t need to compare himself with the Mantu Clan Chief, he was strong in all aspects. If he had to find a weakness, it would be a lack of long-range attack capabilities and powerful large-area offensive moves.

Solving the issue of long-range attacks was feasible, for example, he could ask for Artifact Refining Masters of Chu Country to craft high-quality javelins.

"I lack powerful large-area offensive moves."

Chen Yu’s gaze slightly darkened.

Although he still had time to cultivate these combat techniques.

But in such a backward place as Chu Country, it was difficult to find any profound and formidable combat skills.

The key point was that the fourth Demon Pattern in the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" corresponded to a powerful large-area offensive move, so Chen Yu decided to temporarily give up on this and wait until the fourth layer was cultivated; then, he would naturally compensate in this area.

After analyzing the situation, Chen Yu began to cultivate in earnest.

He took out the "Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword" and started cultivating with the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record," mobilizing the Demon Pattern True Essence.

A great battle had just ended, and both sides needed to restabilize. This period was relatively quiet.

After three months of closed-door cultivation, Chen Yu felt that he hadn’t made significant progress. Coincidentally, a large trading fair was organized behind Red Cover City, hosting a grand auction.

Chen Yu hurried over and entrusted or sold all the resources in his possession.

He also participated in the auction, purchasing a small amount of cultivation resources.

At this moment, Chen Yu had an extremely imposing reputation, such that almost no one dared to bid against the items he wanted.

This caused the auction to complain incessantly, but recalling the last Three Kingdoms Auction, where Chen Yu spent Primordial Stones lavishly, earning them quite a profit, they didn’t mind too much.

After converting the resources he held into Primordial Stones, Chen Yu also tried to trade them for Grade Essence Stones.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi contained within Grade Essence Stones was even purer, aiding cultivation more effectively.

Having killed many in the Guiyuan Realm, Chen Yu had two to three hundred Grade Essence Stones in his possession, but this still wasn’t enough. Thus, he approached many high-ranking individuals and exchanged them for quite a number of Grade Essence Stones at a high price.

Returning to his cultivation retreat, Chen Yu sought an Array Master and had them set up a Gathering Essence Array specifically for cultivation, with Grade Essence Stones as its core energy source.

"The effects of cultivation are much better."

Chen Yu felt the results and was rather satisfied.

Another three months passed quickly. This time, Chen Yu made slightly greater progress, breaking through to Great Success on the fourth layer of the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record," taking his Secret Pattern Demon Body and Demonic Pattern True Essence a step forward.

Now, six months had passed since the last major battle, and both sides began to clash again, with wars breaking out large and small, the two forces evenly matched.

However, bad news came from Yan Country and Qi Country.

Not long ago, Yan Country and Qi Country also had a major battle with their enemies, which led to both countries being at a disadvantage.

"Even Qi Country is no match…"

Chen Yu felt that even now, the Three Kingdoms in the south were still at a disadvantage.

Qi Country was the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. The ancestor of Lingjian Sect was at the peak of the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm. In addition to Lingjian Sect, there was the next strongest Purple Cloud Palace, but Qi Country still suffered a defeat.

Now, Yan and Qi Countries were seeking support from Chu Country. Chu Country could not refuse, thus a meeting was convened, and Chen Yu was also in attendance.

"This Iron Refining Tribe has crafted a lower-grade fine Spiritual Artifact that can be used in conjunction with another two artifacts from the tribe to unleash astonishing power. It’s said that even Lingjian Sect’s ’Sky Moon Sword Formation’ is no match."

Gongyang Mountain responded to Chen Yu’s query.

Spiritual Artifacts were also divided by quality, and the "Smoke-spitting Pearl" in Chen Yu’s possession could only be considered an ordinary lower-grade Spiritual Artifact.

The Iron Refining Tribe specialized in Artifact Refining, and the newly crafted lower-grade fine Spiritual Artifact was at least on the level of the Divine Weapon "Heavenly Moon Sword."

"What about Yan Country?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Meng Chixiong has returned, it is rumored that not only did he go through the tribe’s bloodline sacrificial rite to further advance his bloodline, but he also gained enlightenment from a Sky Sea Realm powerhouse’s legacy, leading to a significant leap in strength."

Speaking of Meng Chixiong, Elder Mao’s expression became stern; the opponent’s prodigy was no less extraordinary than Chen Yu.

Chu Country, due to Chen Yu’s presence, reversed the situation and won a great victory.

Similarly, the enemy, because of Meng Chixiong’s return, dealt a heavy blow to Yan Country.

"The support for Qi Country has already been resolved…"

Master Fu declared loudly.

When Qi Country sought assistance, Ye Luofeng set off to return and took the Guiyuan Realm practitioner from Qi Country who was staying in Chu Country with her.

"Who among those present is willing to support Yan Country?"

Yan Country’s support had yet to be determined.

"I’ll go."

Chen Yu volunteered.

Firstly, he wanted to witness just how powerful the tremendously improved Meng Chixiong was.

Secondly, his previous cultivation had consumed a large amount of Primordial Stones, and war was the best place to earn Primordial Stones and resources.

Originally, if Chen Yu were to cultivate at a steady pace, he would need four to five years to break through to the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak.

But with the enhancement from the cultivation of the bone sword, coupled with the support of a large number of Primordial Stones, Chen Yu would be able to breakthrough to the Early Realm Peak much sooner. However, continuing such expenditure would quickly deplete even a large number of Primordial Stones he had, so he needed to make a big score on the battlefield.

"Elder Chen, it is not advisable…"

"You are Chu Country’s ace in the hole to deter the enemy."

The others tried to dissuade him, advising Chen Yu against leaving.

"My mind is made up."

Chen Yu declared decisively.

Immediately, the hall fell silent, and no one objected.

With strength, came the right to speak."
