Eternal Heart

Chapter 1335: Counterattack

The Purple Crystal Woman floated in mid-air, gazing teasingly at the prey before her: "Only by killing me can you survive."

She was provoking Liu Yuan, hoping for a more intense resistance from him, so it would be more interesting.

However, Liu Yuan, who had been sent flying a thousand feet away, had his momentum and confidence completely crushed.

His sudden attack just now, a full-force strike, had been easily destroyed by the Purple Crystal Woman.

How could he possibly kill this injured god?

Liu Yuan performed a secret technique, a layer of yellow mist swirling around him, and his speed suddenly increased by fifty percent as he swiftly fled.

"Coward."

The Purple Crystal Woman’s face turned cold, her eyes full of disdain.

Swish!

Flying above him, she wasn’t in a hurry to strike.

But the pressure from the Heavenly Realm and the crisis of death plunged Liu Yuan into despair, his expression frenzied.

"Kill!"

Liu Yuan roared, his holy power burning crazily, and he suddenly struck out with his palm.

Radiant yellow light shone, and a gigantic yellow palm, a thousand feet high, materialized and pressed down, with countless palm shadows beside it, indistinct and indefensible.

However, the Purple Crystal Woman didn’t need to discern them. She simply crushed them with her absolutely powerful divine force.

A few moves later.

The Purple Crystal Woman maintained a playful demeanor, while Liu Yuan, going all out, ended up heavily wounded and bruised.

"Too weak. Die."

The Purple Crystal Woman showed a bored expression, her gaze turning fierce.

Boom!

Heaven and earth were illuminated by purple crystal brilliance, condensing into a massive purple crystal insect, thousands of feet long, resembling a centipede, that instantly coiled around Liu Yuan.

"No! Ah..."

Liu Yuan’s scream was cut short, quickly fading, and eventually turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated.

"I hope the second prey doesn’t disappoint me."

The Purple Crystal Woman turned and flew in another direction.

She deliberately retained her injuries and suppressed her strength, yet Liu Yuan couldn’t even provide a bit of challenge, making practice dull.

"However, my current injuries have recovered by more than forty percent. This second prey’s performance probably won’t be as good as the first!"

The Purple Crystal Woman sighed, yet a smile formed at the corner of her mouth.

This is the power of the Heavenly Union Realm. Beings below the Heavenly Union Realm are really no different from ants.

...

After leaving the Youlin Mountain Range, Chen Yu flew towards his destination.

The Insect Race’s territory is vast. At Chen Yu’s speed, it would take about eight or nine months to reach his destination.

At that moment, the Divine Soul Mark on his Star Soul resonated.

"Has she come?"

Chen Yu spread out his Spiritual Sense.

Soon, an invisible pressure from heaven and earth came from the left.

The figure of the Purple Crystal Woman swiftly approached, maintaining a leisurely demeanor, saying, "As the second prey, you’re quite unlucky, because my injuries have recovered by more than forty percent now."

"It’s her, indeed."

Chen Yu had long guessed that the one targeting him and Liu Yuan would be this newly advanced Heavenly Union Realm individual.

It’s just that she was too confident, daring to pursue with only this much recovery from her injuries.

However, it seemed Liu Yuan was already dead.

"You didn’t join those three fools to target me earlier, so I’m giving you a chance. If you can withstand twenty moves from me, I might spare your life."

The Purple Crystal Woman smiled.

She gave Chen Yu a chance at survival, meaning he would surely do his utmost to fight for it, which might be slightly more interesting.

However, Chen Yu continued flying ahead, not responding, as if he hadn’t heard.

"So timid?"

The Purple Crystal Woman showed an even more bored expression.

As she saw it, Chen Yu was even more cowardly than Liu Yuan, not daring to even make a move, just trying to escape.

But can a mere demigod escape the grasp of the Heavenly Union Realm?

The Purple Crystal Woman’s face showed disdain, abandoning the idea of practicing, and decided to kill Chen Yu.

Yet, at this moment, she discovered Chen Yu’s speed had increased!

Swish!

Using Spatial Teleportation, Chen Yu instantly shifted dozens of miles, disappearing from the Purple Crystal Woman’s sight.

"Space Law?"

The Purple Crystal Woman appeared somewhat surprised. That Chen Yu could comprehend space to the level of law meant he had decent talent and strength.

She followed the resonance of the Divine Soul Mark, continuing the pursuit.

When she caught up to Chen Yu, he used Spatial Teleportation again, instantly moving far away.

The Purple Crystal Woman’s expression turned slightly dark, continuing the pursuit, and even putting aside the playful mindset, fully chasing after Chen Yu!

But every time she barely saw Chen Yu, he used Spatial Teleportation to escape.

The Purple Crystal Woman finally realized that Chen Yu wasn’t too timid to attack; he was playing her with his speed!

"Interesting, interesting, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

The Purple Crystal Woman’s gaze turned fierce.

She hoped for a strong opponent, but upon realizing she was being toyed with, she couldn’t be happy.

Boom!

The Purple Crystal Woman no longer suppressed her strength, using the power of heaven and earth to amplify her speed, fully pursuing Chen Yu.

"Just broke through to the Heavenly Union Realm, heavily injured, and you want to catch up to me?"

Chen Yu chuckled softly.

With the Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings unfurled, Chen Yu’s speed increased by several degrees, occasionally using Spatial Teleportation, ensuring the Purple Crystal Woman couldn’t catch up.

As of now, if Chen Yu’s speed fully bursts, even a peak Heavenly Union Realm would find it hard to pursue, let alone the Purple Crystal Woman.

"Damn it, I will catch up with you and take your life by my own hand."

The Purple Crystal Woman’s face was filled with sinister intentions.

This pursuit and escape continued for an entire month.

In the end, Chen Yu even managed to completely leave the Purple Crystal Woman behind. If it weren’t for her relying on the Divine Soul Mark to sense Chen Yu’s position, she would probably have lost him already.

"It’s been a month."

Chen Yu suddenly stopped.

He waited in place for a day and a night.

Boom!

The heavens and the earth roared, an immensely powerful pressure surged across the sky, covering everything.

"I’ve found you!"

A bone-chilling voice, filled with intense hatred, echoed.

The Purple Crystal Woman, exuding a murderous intent from all over her body, charged directly towards Chen Yu.

Originally, she considered Chen Yu as "prey" to be toyed with at will.

But she was the one being played by Chen Yu for a month, unable to catch up, not even able to harm a hair on Chen Yu’s body, and was eventually left behind by him.

The intense sense of humiliation made the Purple Crystal Woman now desperately want to kill Chen Yu.

"Die!"

Divine Power surged within the Purple Crystal Woman, and the Law of Poison spread. In the void, a ghostly purple mist rose, vaguely revealing countless poisonous insects and fierce beasts, which sent chills down one’s spine.

Previously, her injuries had healed by over forty percent, but over this month, as she pursued Chen Yu with all her might without any reserve, the injuries caused by the thunder tribulation healed slowly, and now were not even sixty percent recovered.

However, before the Purple Crystal Woman could unleash her attack, Chen Yu had already taken the initiative.

White Tiger Vermilion Bird Strike!

With the two-colored Mixed Element Holy Power, combined with the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw and the Profound Meaning of the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Wings, the power of this battle art was fully displayed.

Especially with the completion of the Sixth Layer of the ’Four Symbols Divine Body’, the might of this move by Chen Yu was incredibly close to the power of the Heavenly Union Realm.

Roar! Boom!

The golden White Tiger roared, the fire wings covered the sky, ferocious flames burned, the aura of the Holy Beast shocked all around.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The void continuously exploded, the divine might around the Purple Crystal Woman shattered inch by inch, and the power formed by the Law of Poison was also breached!

"What’s going on?"

The Purple Crystal Woman was slightly surprised.

The power of the sudden attack Chen Yu unleashed was so formidable that it gave her a sense of facing someone of the same level.

With danger approaching, the Purple Crystal Woman immediately struck, merging the Divine Power and Law within her to form a light pillar filled with ghostly purple mist, smashing towards the Fire Winged Golden Tiger.

Bang!

The Fire Winged Golden Tiger roared, fiercely charging out, meeting the Purple Crystal Woman’s strike, the collision of two extremely powerful forces caused a terrifying energy wave to ripple out.

Purple light and mist permeated in all directions, while golden light and fire waves surged forth.

In the midst of the explosion, a gold and red light mass suddenly hurtled towards the Purple Crystal Woman.

In this clash, it was Chen Yu who had the upper hand.

The Purple Crystal Woman withstood the aftermath without any obvious injuries, but she was already heavily wounded, and her internal energy and blood churned, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if her organs were about to rupture.

She stared intently at Chen Yu once again, with a bit more seriousness in her eyes: "Among the Demigods, your strength should be among the top tier!"

"Logically, a month ago, you could withstand twenty moves from me. Why did you run?"

The Purple Crystal Woman was very puzzled by this.

"Even if I withstand twenty moves, you wouldn’t spare me."

Chen Yu quickly gave an answer.

The Purple Crystal Woman didn’t respond. She hadn’t considered this before, but indeed, if Chen Yu had really withstood twenty moves, she still wouldn’t have let him go.

"Now that you know I’m injured and with your speed, you could escape me, why stop?"

The Purple Crystal Woman asked again.

Now she was very interested in Chen Yu, wanting to unravel all the mysteries before killing him.

"That way, the other Heavenly Union Realm won’t come in time, right?"

Chen Yu stated calmly.

The Purple Crystal Woman’s brows furrowed slightly, what did that mean?

Chen Yu didn’t continue to explain, instead, he used the divine skill of Spatial Teleportation.

He didn’t run away, but in an instant, he teleported right in front of the Purple Crystal Woman, and immediately, he punched out!

The Purple Crystal Woman’s eyes widened in shock, she hadn’t expected Chen Yu to suddenly come so close to her.

By the time she reacted to mobilize Divine Power and launch an attack, she was no match for Chen Yu’s lightning-fast punch.

Bang!

Chen Yu’s punch struck with full force, his physical power fully exploded, the Space Law activated, and the ’Sky Splitting Emperor Fist’ was unleashed.

Seven forms of fist techniques were condensed into one punch, bursting forth with power threatening to the Heavenly Union Realm!

Boom!

The Purple Crystal Woman hurriedly condensed her Divine Power into a shield, a thick Purple Crystal Shield, to block Chen Yu’s punch.

But in less than half a heartbeat, the Purple Crystal Shield trembled and cracked wildly, suddenly shattering.

Chen Yu’s punch, executed with the White Tiger Sacred Claw, also contained Space Law, featuring strong penetrating power and exceptional defensive breaking ability.

While the Purple Crystal Woman of the Insect Race was not skilled in defense.

"Impossible!"

The Purple Crystal Woman was greatly astonished.

Her Divine Power defense shield couldn’t withstand Chen Yu’s punch, how could this be? She was at the Heavenly Union Realm!

Previously, even Liu Yuan was toyed with and killed by her with ease.

Boom!

Space twisted, cracks emerged, and the violent force surged forward.

The Purple Crystal Woman’s body was torn open in several places, revealing the purple-black flesh inside. Her body was forced back several hundred feet before she steadied herself.

"This is impossible! I have broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm, even if your strength is great, it is impossible to contend against me!"

The Purple Crystal Woman roared, her anger was mixed with unwillingness. The confidence of having just broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm wavered under Chen Yu’s punch.
