Eternal Heart

Chapter 1360: I Have Already Shown Mercy

"Who dares to trespass in the Murong Family’s council hall!"

A high-ranking member immediately shouted.

Inside the hall, the gazes of the Murong Family’s high-ranking members instantly focused on the man in black.

The Murong Family is an ancient lineage with sword dao heritage. At this moment, the pressure from over a dozen sword dao experts descended simultaneously, surrounding the man in black like a myriad of swords, ready to pierce his heart with any slight movement.

Yet, faced with such a situation, the man in black remained unfazed.

"The two months are up. You’re here to discuss how to compensate me, aren’t you?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Murong Family couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

However, they did come to understand the origin of the person before them.

This was the mysterious expert the Sword Star Demigod spoke of, hidden in the Heavenly Martial Sect?

So young, yet likely not even five hundred years old. Among the demigods of the human race, there are only two who are a thousand years old.

The person before them was not among them.

"Was he the one who acted that day?"

The Sword Star Demigod furrowed his brow.

So young, yet comprehending the Water Principle, and stepping into demigodhood?

"Haha, compensation? Challenging our family’s dignity, what compensation do you expect?"

The one-eyed old man stepped forward.

Chen Yu, unaware, continued casually, "Then let me see what treasures the Murong Family has."

After breaking through to the Heavenly Union Realm, every subsequent step relies on resources and time accumulation.

The more resources, the less time required.

Chen Yu urgently needed to enhance his strength. Even though he had killed several Heavenly Union Realm opponents previously, the spoils he gained have been almost consumed.

"If you want the Murong Family’s treasures, you’ll have to defeat my sword first!"

The one-eyed old man shouted fiercely, with his single eye emitting a ghostly glow like multiple sharp swords piercing the void, shaking one’s heart and mind.

Even before acting, he already had an intimidating aura, testing Chen Yu’s depth.

But Chen Yu remained calm, his profound soul path sword intent seemed to penetrate into fog, leaving unclear effects.

In fact, when Chen Yu first arrived, family members observed him closely, trying to see through him, but could discern nothing.

"You? You’re not qualified!"

Chen Yu shook his head slightly.

The one-eyed old man’s strength was on par with the Sword Star Demigod. Chen Yu had broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm five years ago; he wasn’t particularly interested in demigod opponents.

After all, the gap between the Heavenly Union Realm and demigod is enormous, and Chen Yu has cultivated several powerful techniques, rarely encountering equals in the same realm.

"Arrogant!"

The one-eyed old man’s eye flashed fiercely, and holy power surged out from within him, along with the Wind Principle.

Before him, a fierce black giant sword quickly condensed, surrounded by layers of whirlwinds.

Though demigod attacks are grand, demigods possess exceptional control; this black wind giant sword did not damage the hall even slightly.

Swoosh!

The black whirlwind giant sword abruptly thrust out, not giving Chen Yu a chance to react.

Other high-ranking members retreated one after another, and the family’s array was fully activated to protect several key family sites.

If Chen Yu couldn’t block the sword, the Murong Family would suffer its destruction.

The Sword Star Demigod held his breath and focused; even he would have to be thoroughly prepared for the old man’s sword, hoping to gauge Chen Yu’s depth this time.

But faced with the immensely powerful sword, Chen Yu looked bored, slowly raising his hand.

The fingertip touched the grotesque black wind giant sword in an instant.

"Using his finger to stop Elder Yu’s sword, doesn’t this kid value his life?"

The crowd was slightly shocked.

Yet, within an instant, the black wind giant sword froze in the void, unable to advance.

Bang!

Then, this mighty strike exploded, stirring up a whirlwind.

"He blocked it..."

The crowd’s bodies stiffened, their eyes bewildered, mouths speechless.

A simple finger blocked a demigod’s full-powered strike, how could this be possible?

The Sword Star Demigod also felt unprecedentedly solemn, as the means Chen Yu displayed at this moment were even more potent than those exhibited in the Heavenly Martial Sect.

"Could he not be a demigod, but a god?"

The Sword Star Demigod couldn’t help but swallow.

Throughout the Human Race, there are only a few in the Heavenly Union Realm, has a god this young ever appeared?

"This is impossible!"

The one-eyed old man roared.

With full confidence, he was dealt such a blow, losing his sanity instantly.

He summoned his profound tool, and the dark sword emitted astonishing rays, piercing the hall, swiftly dancing in the sky, transforming into countless black sword shadows.

The overwhelming sword shadows turned into a tornado, destroying the hall, shrouding everything.

Chen Yu’s expression remained unchanged, and a fiery red feather emerged in his palm, flying gently.

Booom!!

The fiery red feather drifted towards the vast black tornado, instantly igniting it, engulfing it in flames.

It was as if all the swords were covered in oil, igniting into flying ash at the touch of a flame.

"Ah..."

The one-eyed old man was also engulfed by the fire, screaming bitterly.

The elders felt their minds tense; how did the Murong Family’s sword dao demigod suddenly become so miserable?

Could it be that the opponent is a "god"?

And the Sword Star Demigod also realized that this is the Fire Principle, in its application, it is far more profound than the One-eyed Elder’s Wind Principle.

This results in the Wind Principle ironically enhancing the power of the Fire Principle, leading to self-infliction.

How many principles does the opponent actually master?

At this moment.

Within a nine-story pavilion of the Murong Family, suddenly an earth-shattering Sword Intent pierced the firmament.

The entire pavilion trembled, as if countless swords were humming within.

"Sword Pavilion!"

The Sword Star Demigod looked towards that nine-story pavilion.

This Sword Pavilion has been passed down since the birth of the Murong Family, holding extraordinary significance, and contains infinitely profound and mysterious Sword Dao Profound Meaning.

Every Sword Dao master of the Murong Family has been tempered in the Sword Pavilion.

And the Great Elder of the Murong Family has always guarded the Sword Pavilion, immersed in Sword Dao for days, and reached the God Realm a thousand years ago.

"The Great Elder is coming out!"

"He has alarmed our Heavenly Union Realm, that kid is certainly doomed!"

Whoosh!

As if an unparalleled sword emerged, outside the hall in the sky, an old man in simple white robes appeared.

After the Great Elder appeared, he waved his sleeve, releasing Divine Power to extinguish the flames on the One-eyed Elder.

"It’s just a friendly exchange; isn’t your move a bit too harsh?"

The Great Elder spoke calmly, his cold eyes observing Chen Yu.

Undoubtedly, Chen Yu must be in the Heavenly Union Realm, which somewhat startled him. Since when did the Human Race produce such a young Heavenly Union Realm?

"I have already held back," Chen Yu replied calmly.

"You..."

The just rescued one-eyed old man felt anger surging upon hearing this rebuttal, and fainted.

"Tsk tsk! Old man, don’t pretend to be dead. We agreed earlier; if I beat you, I can get the Murong Family’s treasure."

Chen Yu chuckled, his face playful.

But the one-eyed old man seemed genuinely unconscious.

"Injured our Murong Family demigod, and still want our family treasure?"

The Great Elder’s gaze sharpened, instantly gathering an astonishing aura, as if a supreme Divine Sword stood between the heavens and earth, capable of annihilating all.

As an elder in the Heavenly Union Realm, he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yu’s behavior and wanted to intimidate a bit.

"A dignified Divine Realm Family dares breach their word."

Chen Yu shook his head with a smile.

The Great Elder’s eyes narrowed, then thought of a plan, saying, "If you can defeat this old man, you may choose two treasures from the Murong Family. Otherwise, change your surname and join the Murong Family from now on."

Such a young Heavenly Union Realm has great potential in the future. The Great Elder did not wish to completely offend Chen Yu, and even considered recruiting him into the Murong Family.

"Afraid?"

The Great Elder laughed, deliberately provoking.

As long as Chen Yu agreed, the terms could be negotiated gradually.

"What is there to fear, make your move!"

Chen Yu smiled indifferently.

The Great Elder frowned slightly, Chen Yu agreed too decisively, with a nonchalant attitude, making him feel strange.

...

A thousand miles away from the Murong Family, there is a mountain range, with peaks rising layer by layer.

No one noticed, in this place a gigantic warship is flying slowly, blending into the surrounding scenery, without causing any disturbance.

Inside the giant ship, in the center of a dim palace, there is a slowly rotating Array, forming a light screen above, presenting a scene within.

Surrounding it were the Silver Soul Clan and the Human Race, each bearing a horrifying aura, all staring at the screen showing the scene.

"Who exactly is this human black-robed man?"

"The sword of the Murong Family’s demigod was easily blocked by him!"

"Haha, no matter who this person is, his appearance has distracted the Murong Family’s attention, making it easier for us to approach!"

A member of the Silver Soul Clan sneered evilly.

"Exactly, our clan intends to further devour the Human Race, and first we face the Murong Family!"

"We’ve planned for so long, and now an outsider provokes the Murong Family, it’s a golden opportunity!"

In fact, two months ago, the Silver Soul Clan of the Dead Spirit Desert prepared to raid the Murong Family, to eliminate this obstacle.

But the spy planted in the Murong Family sent a message saying someone would come to provoke them in two months, which led them to extend the plan.

At that moment.

Above the main hall appeared a man in silver robes from the Silver Soul Clan, with an invisible aura spreading, instantly quieting the place.

The silver-robed man’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking towards the light screen on the Array.

This was the image transmitted by the spy in the Murong Family. It was somewhat blurred, difficult to see clearly, and unable to appreciate the struggle and intensity of the battle between the parties.

He inquired, "The Great Elder of the Murong Family has taken action. It seems that black-robed man is also in the Heavenly Union Realm. Since when did the Human Race have a new Heavenly Union Realm?"

Someone respectfully replied, "Reporting to ’Luo River God,’ the Human Race recently has no new Heavenly Union Realm news."

"No matter what, this youngster has indeed helped us immensely, not only attracting the Murong Family’s attention but also helping us to prematurely weaken the fighting strength of their Heavenly Union Realm. Ultimately, he can only submit to our clan!"

A Silver Soul Clan woman suddenly appeared, her figure slender, surrounded by gusts of eerie winds, extremely sinister.

"Originally, we had ninety percent certainty. Now, it’s already a hundred and twenty percent certainty!"

A huge shadow suddenly appeared between the man and the woman, a hoarse cold voice emanated.

With the appearance of these three figures, the hall plunged into oppressive silence.

The numerous figures beneath the three shadows immediately became respectful, not daring to speak more.
