Eternal Heart

Chapter 1334: Looking for a Test Run

Chen Yu showed no interest in that heavily injured and weakened Heavenly Union Realm?

In fact, Liu Yuan hoped Chen Yu would come along, in case of any unforeseen events, they could make use of him.

But he hoped Chen Yu would say it himself and ask him.

Seeing Chen Yu unexpectedly agree to stay, Liu Yuan had no choice but to suggest directly: "Brother Chen, if you are unwilling to stay here, you can come with us."

Chen Yu slightly shook his head, indicating he would not go.

Time was tight, Liu Yuan and others couldn’t give that Insect Race Heavenly Union Realm a chance to recover, so they had no choice but to ignore Chen Yu and immediately fly away.

Whish...

The three flew straight to a charred giant crater, with threads of lightning flickering in the air, a powerful divine power aura intimidating all around.

When Liu Yuan and others reached the center of the giant crater, they saw a pitch-black giant insect, its body long, resembling a centipede.

Of course, this Insect Race wasn’t inherently pitch-black but was charred by the Divine Thunder Tribulation, its body cracked all over, motionless, seemingly dead.

Liu Yuan could sense that within this black insect, there was a vast aura of divine power, rapidly recovering, and the charred body was slowly healing.

"Mr. Lu is truly insightful; this Demigod is indeed incredibly weak after breaking through to the Heavenly Union Realm."

Witch Hat Elder said.

"Heh, since that guy didn’t want to come, we can enjoy all the benefits ourselves."

The human woman suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Liu Yuan had the same plan, to deal with this near-death Heavenly Union Realm, they would leave directly, and by the time Chen Yu noticed something was wrong and chased after them, it would be too late.

Suddenly.

A cold female voice came from within the black insect, with a mocking tone: "You few, are you trying to mess with this god?"

Liu Yuan and the others immediately became extremely vigilant, and the Witch Hat Elder and the human woman were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Even though this Insect Race was near death, the opponent had already broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm, and every word and action carried the majesty of a god, creating a huge psychological and physical pressure on ordinary creatures, an instinctive fear and submission.

"You’re about to die, what are you pretending for?"

Liu Yuan shouted coldly, but grew more vigilant in his heart, his sacred power already mobilized, planning to immediately strike and end the life of this Heavenly Union Realm.

Perhaps the other side was just deliberately stalling for time to recover some strength.

If this Heavenly Union Realm recovers thirty to forty percent of its strength, it would be enough to overturn the situation.

Whoosh...

A yellow vortex of wind began to blow around, incredibly sharp, containing a strange poison, twisting towards the black insect.

The charred black body of the insect lay on the ground, motionless, with no resistance.

In the condition of the black insect, Liu Yuan’s all-out strike had a great chance of killing her.

But at this moment, another hoarse, sinister voice resonated through the heavens and the earth: "You’re attacking her, are you ignoring me, her protector?"

Swoosh!

From the distant underground, a purple shadow suddenly emerged, with an oppressive force as heavy as a mountain, sweeping in all directions.

The purple shadow’s form became visible, slightly resembling the charred insect lying on the ground.

The purple shadow’s body began to change, its posture similar to a human, but only in size, with the rest of its body not bearing the slightest resemblance, looking sinister and hideous.

"Protector?"

Liu Yuan was stunned, looking at the eerie old man covered in purple armor in front of him.

The human woman and the Witch Hat Elder stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

It turns out, this Demigod was not alone in her breakthrough to the Heavenly Union Realm; there was a real Heavenly Union Realm hiding nearby, acting as her protector.

At this moment, Liu Yuan stood stiffly in place, unable to unleash the gathered attack.

The suddenly appearing "Purple Armored Old Man" wouldn’t allow him to kill that Insect Race. .

Thud!

Liu Yuan knelt on the ground.

The ordinary Demigods facing the Heavenly Union Realm were generally easily crushed, with no power to resist.

Moreover, there were two Heavenly Union Realms here.

The Insect Race, charred all over, was nearly killed by him earlier; would she easily let him go?

"My lord, it was just a moment of folly..."

To save his life, Demigod Liu Yuan could only kneel and plead for mercy.

The human woman and the Witch Hat Elder also knelt down simultaneously, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.

"Scram!"

The Purple Armored Old Man suddenly shouted, his terrifying Heavenly Union Realm aura erupted like a volcano, impacting in all directions.

A storm arose, and Liu Yuan and the other two were blown away.

"Ah..."

The human woman screamed miserably; her body, under this terrifying momentum, seemed to be slashed by countless knives, flesh and blood in shreds.

Shortly after, her bones were exposed, and finally, only a skeleton fell at a distance.

The Late Xuanming, under the roar of the Purple Armored Old Man, turned directly into a skeleton.

As for the Witch Hat Elder, who was at the Late Xuanming Peak, though not dead, his body was filled with rotting wounds, lying down unable to get up, purple smoke emitting from him.

He wasn’t dead, but close to it.

Liu Yuan, with his Demigod cultivation, could withstand the roar without serious harm, yet fear’s shadow was left in his heart.

Is this the Heavenly Union Realm?

So powerful, having just broken through to a Demigod, he was still so insignificant in front of the Heavenly Union Realm.

"Spare my life, My Lord. I’m willing to serve you like a horse or ox; please be merciful."

Liu Yuan continued to kneel and plead for mercy.

"Didn’t you hear me tell you to scram?"

The Purple Armored Old Man impatiently shouted.

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment; was the other side letting him go?

He couldn’t believe it, was it over just like this?

Liu Yuan was filled with joy, maintained his vigilance, and turned around to escape.

He came near Chen Yu, his gaze like ice as he stared at Chen Yu.

It was evident that Chen Yu had sensed the danger earlier but didn’t warn them, leading to his two subordinates’ tragic deaths, and he also danced on the edge of death.

Chen Yu had already become his target for murder.

But for now, escaping from this place came first.

"He let them go?"

Chen Yu appeared a bit surprised.

Under the reminder of the Bloodline Ancestor, he knew there was a hidden Heavenly Union Realm expert, so he didn’t act but stayed here to watch the drama unfold.

The act is over, and it’s time for me to leave.

Having observed the breakthrough of a Demigod to the Heavenly Union Realm this time, he already had a rough template in his heart.

At least the next time he attempts the breakthrough to the Heavenly Union Realm himself, he will have a plan in mind, and the success rate will increase significantly.

But at this moment.

A profound and formidable divine soul force erupted, and on the soul level, the star souls of Chen Yu and Liu Yuan both trembled, sensing something amiss.

Shu!

Chen Yu activated the Space Law, using Spatial Teleportation, his body surrounded by flashing silver light that flickered incessantly.

The next instant, the silver light dissipated, and Chen Yu’s figure vanished, having already fled dozens of miles away.

Liu Yuan couldn’t perform real spatial teleportation, only small teleportations, and was destined not to escape.

Boom!

An intense divine soul force, carrying the will of the gods, crashed into Liu Yuan’s star soul.

"Hiss..."

Liu Yuan let out a scream, his soul experiencing a burning pain, and then that oppressive divine soul will dissipated, allowing Liu Yuan to escape successfully.

The divine soul attack from that Heavenly Union Realm practitioner didn’t seem to intend to kill him.

"This is a ’Divine Soul Mark’!"

Liu Yuan sensed his star soul and immediately discovered a "Zerg-shaped mark" left on it.

With this mark, no matter how far he fled, the Purple-armored Elder could sense his location.

On the other side.

Shu!

Chen Yu performed Spatial Teleportation, moving directly seventy miles away.

As soon as he appeared, Chen Yu let out a muffled groan, his face darkening as he checked himself.

He then discovered a mark on his star soul.

"Divine Soul Mark!"

Chen Yu’s reaction was fast enough, but the divine soul attack was even faster, leaving a mark just before he teleported away.

This Divine Soul Mark was completely different from the one left by the Corrosive God before.

The Corrosive God had only left a Divine Soul Mark through a secret technique using a trace of divine power from within a Token, spanning countless miles. Chen Yu could erase it after breaking through to a Demigod.

But this time, the situation was entirely different. The Purple-armored Elder’s cultivation depth seemed even more profound than the Corrosive God’s.

In terms of his current Soul Path prowess, Chen Yu couldn’t erase this Divine Soul Mark at this stage.

"However, it seems like that old man didn’t intend to personally make a move, otherwise why go through all this trouble?"

Chen Yu speculated.

The Purple-armored Elder had no need to let Liu Yuan go, deliberately leaving the Divine Soul Mark.

Gradually, a suspicion grew in Chen Yu’s heart.

...

The Youlin Mountain Range returned to silence once more.

In the giant pit, the Purple-armored Elder released a gentle divine power that merged into the body of the Insect Race entity that had just broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm.

The charred insect’s recovery speed accelerated, the charred skin gradually retreating to reveal a bright, crystalline purple.

But immediately, the divine power released by the Purple-armored Elder was blocked out.

"That’s enough, you don’t need to keep treating me."

The purple insect ascended, surrounded by a mysterious purple radiance, transforming into a proud and exaggeratedly beautiful woman, her entire body a transparent purple crystal, exuding an alluring and deadly seduction.

"Give me the things!"

The Purple Crystal Woman’s eyes were icy cold, a soft killing intent spreading out.

Buzz!

The divine soul will of the Purple-armored Elder surged out, leaving a mark within the Purple Crystal Woman, then he said, "Now you can sense the location of those two prey."

In fact, the Purple-armored Elder was just about to kill Liu Yuan.

But the Purple Crystal Woman asked him to leave him alive, wanting to make the kill herself.

Possibly because she almost died at Liu Yuan’s hands earlier, she wanted to kill Liu Yuan personally.

But there was a second reason: she had just obtained the power of the Heavenly Union Realm and was eager to try it out, wanting to personally feel how strong the power of the Heavenly Union Realm was!

She hadn’t even fully healed her injuries, now only thirty percent better.

This is all because she didn’t want the hunt to become too dull; if she were in her peak state, Liu Yuan would probably not even be able to resist, which would be too boring.

Swoosh!

The divine power within the Purple Crystal Woman surged out. Experiencing an unprecedentedly strong force, her face brimmed with excitement.

"Even with serious injuries, my current speed surpasses that when I was at the Demigod Realm."

The Purple Crystal Woman laughed.

Her figure was like a purple phantom, disappearing into the sky at a speed difficult to capture.

Moments later, her Divine Sense perceived Liu Yuan, capturing the panic and helplessness on his face in full.

The Purple Crystal Woman quickly caught up with Liu Yuan.

"Spare me, My Lord, spare me!"

Liu Yuan immediately begged for mercy, but he also observed the Purple Crystal Woman, noticing that her aura was weak and she didn’t seem fully healed yet, chasing him in this state.

Boom!

The holy power within Liu Yuan erupted madly, around him releasing layers of swirling yellow whirlwinds, like countless venomous blades cutting wildly.

Liu Yuan knew she wouldn’t let him go, so seizing the chance and attacking first might offer a sliver of hope.

"Heh, now this is interesting."

The Purple Crystal Woman’s purple lips curled up; she purposely hadn’t fully healed her injuries just to see this scene.

Rumble!

Divine power burst forth, transforming into a vast boundless dark purple light, seemingly representing the will of heaven and earth, pressing down.

The holy power attack launched by Liu Yuan rapidly weakened under this divine might, and the overpowering divine attack crashed down.

Bang, bang, bang!

With continuous explosions, Liu Yuan’s holy power attack shattered inch by inch, turning to ashes.

A huge wound tore open on Liu Yuan’s body, blood spraying as he flew back a thousand yards.

"How is this possible?"

Liu Yuan’s face was filled with astonishment and unwillingness.

A severely injured god remained so dominant and unstoppable!
