Eternal Heart

Chapter 1333: Looting Amidst Chaos

"In the Youlin Mountain Range, a demigod is attempting to break through to the Heavenly Union Realm. Would you be interested in joining us to observe?"

The young man extended an invitation.

The Heavenly Union Realm is like an insurmountable barrier, as difficult to overcome as ascending to heaven.

And now, there is a demigod nearby attempting this breakthrough. Observing this could be of some help for future attempts to reach the Heavenly Union Realm.

Chen Yu felt somewhat tempted by this.

"Sir, how could you reveal such a secret..."

The human woman was somewhat agitated.

"Silence."

The young man’s eyes were cold as he glanced over and reprimanded sternly.

She had been severely injured by Chen Yu and was agitated upon hearing the young man reveal this secret and inviting Chen Yu, which prompted her to question.

Under normal circumstances, she was not in a position to question the young man’s actions.

Chen Yu was tempted; he was getting closer and closer to that barrier.

"In that case, I shall spare their lives."

Chen Yu glanced at the severely injured human woman and withdrew his Holy Power.

To him, whether to kill the human woman and the Witch Hat Elder or not made no difference.

Chen Yu was just passing by and might have left the Youlin Mountain Range shortly without witnessing the demigod’s breakthrough if no one had informed him.

The human woman immediately got up, took some Healing Pills, but her injuries were severe, and since the Witch Hat Elder was also injured, the group temporarily rested there.

In this group, besides the Witch Hat Elder who belonged to the Black Scale Clan, the other man and woman were of the Human Race.

"I am Liu Yuan. May I ask which force you hail from and why you have traveled such a long distance to the Insect Race territory?"

The young man "Liu Yuan" introduced himself proactively.

"Chen Yu, just traveling around."

Chen Yu did not reveal any true information, brushing him off casually.

The human woman found Chen Yu’s outright dismissiveness even more displeasing.

After all, Liu Yuan was a demigod, and Chen Yu showed no respect at all towards him.

"I don’t know what Liu Yuan is thinking, why not just kill him and instead tell him that secret..."

The human woman thought discontentedly.

Liu Yuan examined Chen Yu closely and then smiled, "If I am not mistaken, your cultivation should be that of a demigod, right?" .

Being able to blow away his two subordinates instantly and inflict such heavy injuries on this human woman was absolutely impossible for an ordinary late-stage Xuanming Realm Peak cultivator.

However, Liu Yuan had not sensed any Divine Power nor any Space Laws, so he was not certain.

Chen Yu did not deny it, which the three took as confirmation.

Demigod?

The woman from the Human Race was quite surprised, finding it hard to believe.

Previously, they had followed Chen Yu for a long time and failed to discern his true cultivation, but they guessed it was around the Mid Xuanming Realm.

They had planned to observe a while longer, but upon witnessing Chen Yu encountering a crisis, they seized the opportunity to act, only to suffer a crushing defeat.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu’s cultivation was that of a demigod!

"We apologize for any offense earlier. Please forgive us, sir."

The Witch Hat Elder immediately apologized.

Looking back, Chen Yu probably noticed them trailing behind him early on.

If Liu Yuan had not stepped forward in time, the Witch Hat Elder and the human woman would likely have been annihilated by Chen Yu in an instant.

Thinking back on it now, cold sweat trickled down as he felt a sense of surviving a disaster.

"Let’s move out!"

Chen Yu glanced at the human woman’s injuries, noting they had improved by about thirty to forty percent.

"Since Brother Chen is eager, let’s move out,"

Liu Yuan said with a smile.

The Youlin Mountain Range is fraught with dangers, but with two demigods present, as long as they don’t deliberately stir up trouble, there should be no major issues.

The journey went smoothly. An hour later, Chen Yu asked, "How much farther?"

"It’s just ahead,"

Liu Yuan looked into the distance.

Soon, they all felt an intangible pressure, like waves crashing continually.

In the distance, the sky was a dusky purple, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions frantically gathered there.

Nearby, hidden fierce spirits all lay prostrate, trembling under this immense pressure.

"This immense power certainly seems like a demigod reaching for the Heavenly Union Realm!"

Chen Yu thought to himself.

It appeared the demigod had just started the breakthrough process, which could take days, or even over a dozen days.

Chen Yu, Liu Yuan, and the others maintained a safe distance.

The initial stage of breaking through to the Heavenly Union Realm could be interrupted anytime. If they alerted the one breaking through, they might not get to witness it.

Having to wait regardless, Chen Yu sat down and consolidated his cultivation.

The ’Mixed Element Chaos World Technique’ was difficult to master. When he had spare time, he would delve into and practice it.

Currently, Chen Yu could adeptly condense the Three-colored Mixed Yuan Holy Power. Condensing the Four-color Mixed Yuan Saint Power was quite challenging, which might require a breakthrough to the Heavenly Union Realm.

Liu Yuan too sat down to cultivate, while keeping some of his attention on Chen Yu.

The human woman and the Witch Hat Elder were healing, even resorting to rare Spirit Pills.

If they could not recover to peak condition, it might impact Liu Yuan’s subsequent plans.

Three days later.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The dusky purple clouds in the distance doubled in size, forming a massive vortex at the center, devouring the Primordial Qi from all directions.

The natural forces of heaven and earth converged, vaguely forming a divine power capable of suppressing all things!

"It seems the demigod’s breakthrough is proceeding smoothly."

Liu Yuan observed before turning to look at Chen Yu.

He noticed that during Chen Yu’s cultivation, the aura fluctuating faintly from his body gave him a sense of oppression.

Perhaps it was an illusion, or maybe this oppressive feeling was due to the other demigod’s breakthrough on the other side.

The fourth day!

The celestial phenomenon was even more shocking, the dark purple cloud covered nearly a hundred miles, half of the Youlin Mountain Range was shrouded.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was completely drawn over, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around Chen Yu and Liu Yuan was also extracted, causing their cultivation efficiency to drop to extremely low levels.

Chen Yu and Liu Yuan simply stopped cultivating, floated up, and observed the demigod who was breaking through.

"I’ve heard that breaking through the Heavenly Union Realm requires achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, not only integrating oneself with the external Heaven and Earth but also with the ’internal Heaven and Earth’."

Liu Yuan spoke.

The external Heaven and Earth refer to the spatial interface, while the "internal Heaven and Earth" refer to the "Star Sea," the source of stored power.

The entire Star Sea can be seen as a miniature model of the universe.

Only when the internal and external Heaven and Earth are united can one reach the Heavenly Union Realm.

Although Liu Yuan had just broken through to demigod, being young, he had a significant chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Union Realm in the future, so he had been contemplating these things early on.

The fifth day.

Boom!

A vast divine power burst forth, shaking the heavens and earth in all directions.

This divine power surpassed demigod, approaching the Heavenly Union Realm immeasurably close.

The divine power communicated with heaven and earth, forming endless purple halo, constantly changing, eventually forming a gigantic insect figure thousands of feet high.

The one breaking through the Heavenly Union Realm is an Insect Race!

The dark purple giant insect phantom seemed to establish a connection with the entire world, every move it made drew out terrifying powers of heaven and earth.

"Integrating the external Heaven and Earth is relatively simple, the key is the internal Heaven and Earth."

Liu Yuan stared into the distance.

It’s said that to unify the internal Heaven and Earth, one needs to shatter the originally condensed life source star, making it fill the entire Star Sea, transforming the Star Sea into one’s source of power, becoming the ’Divine Source’, also known as the ’Divine Sea’.

At this moment, the demigod breaking through seemed to become the darling of the heavens, with infinite power pouring into its body, transforming its physical constitution and star soul.

Of course, the focus of that Insect Race would definitely be on the Star Sea.

The key is how to forge the "Divine Source".

Impacting the Heavenly Union Realm is different from the Xuanming Realm, once it fails, the lightest consequence is a regression in cultivation, while failing to impact the Xuanming Realm, at most results in injuries, damage to the foundation, which can be repaired with time.

The sixth day.

Thunderbolt! Zap!

In the sky, within the dark purple light cloud, lightning suddenly flickered, and an aura of destruction appeared.

Even the astonishing phenomenon generated by the breakthrough dimmed at this moment.

"The ’Divine Thunder Tribulation’ has arrived!"

Liu Yuan’s eyes sparkled with light.

The Divine Thunder Tribulation is the second hurdle in impacting the Heavenly Union Realm.

If you fail in some of the preceding steps, at most your cultivation regresses, but failing at the Divine Thunder Tribulation almost certainly means obliteration.

Rumble!

The world rumbled violently, only to see a bolt of lightning nearly a hundred feet wide, like a heavenly pillar, thundering down.

At this moment, all living creatures within a radius of thousands of miles shuddered with instinctive fear.

That divine lightning power seemed to be the nemesis of all things, the source of destruction.

Even Chen Yu and Liu Yuan, far away, felt a chill in their hearts.

This Divine Thunder Tribulation even possessed the power to severely wound even those in the Heavenly Union Realm, if they got too close, the aftershocks of the divine lightning could very well severely injure them.

Boom!

The ground trembled, as if there were streaks of lightning passing beneath everyone’s feet, causing a numbing sensation.

Then came the second Divine Thunder Tribulation.

"It’s said that of those who fail to break through to the Heavenly Union Realm, sixty percent are because of this Divine Thunder Tribulation," Liu Yuan sighed.

When breaking through to the Heavenly Union Realm, there will be the support of the power of heaven and earth, enhancing resistance to the Divine Thunder Tribulation.

Otherwise, even those in the Heavenly Union Realm would have a hard time withstanding a single divine lightning tribulation.

Rumble!

The third Divine Thunder Tribulation descended, the booming explosions resounded for a long time.

The lightning gradually dissipated, and the phenomenon between heaven and earth disappeared.

The entire world fell instantly quiet.

But Chen Yu and Liu Yuan could clearly feel a divine power aura reviving continuously in the distance.

It seems the demigod has successfully transformed into a "god."

"Take action!"

Liu Yuan immediately ordered.

Swish...

He, the human woman, and Witch Hat Elder rushed towards the huge pit enveloped by the thunder and divine power aura.

It turned out that this team had been targeting this breaking through demigod from the beginning.

A newly broken-through Heavenly Union Realm, after experiencing the Divine Thunder Tribulation, is at its weakest!

The terrifying power of those three Divine Thunder Tribulations was visible to everyone, an ordinary demigod couldn’t withstand even one, instantly turning to ash.

Even those in the Heavenly Union Realm, after withstanding three thunder tribulations, are definitely not in good condition.

"Brother Chen, this Heavenly Union Realm just went through the Divine Thunder Tribulation, is at its weakest now. You guard here, keep an eye out for others trying to meddle."

"When it’s done, you’ll get a share of the benefits."

Liu Yuan said with a chuckle.

Under normal circumstances, someone would definitely refuse, but would personally participate to get the biggest share of the benefits.

This is what Liu Yuan hoped for, having Chen Yu take action is more assured.

Chen Yu hadn’t thought of this at first.

After all, they had no grievances or animosities, and just observing the other’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Union Realm, he had gained a lot of experience and insights.

But with Liu Yuan’s persuasion, he was somewhat tempted.

"Kid, don’t go!"

Just as Chen Yu was about to take action, the Bloodline Ancestor suddenly transmitted a message.

"Alright!"

Chen Yu agreed with a smile to Liu Yuan’s proposal.

Liu Yuan was slightly surprised, did Chen Yu actually agree? Could it be that the other party is not at all moved by the severely wounded and weak Heavenly Union Realm?
