Eternal Heart

Chapter 1367: The Great Calamity Approaches

A hidden space in the main world.

The sky was ethereal and void, without a single cloud in sight.

On the earth, it was filled with countless steel architectures, including towering metal giant towers, mysterious Astrology Towers, and massive circular castles...

These numerous metal buildings were arranged in a highly systematic manner, as if containing the profound mysteries of an Array.

The vast architectural complex exuded an ancient and timeworn aura, with its center being an enormous peak entirely composed of mysterious metal structures.

At the top of the peak.

Two elders, with ordinary auras, were sitting and playing chess.

One of the elders, draped in a white robe, had long whiskers reaching the ground and his eyes tightly closed.

The other elder, with a head full of silver hair, also had her eyes closed.

But on the chessboard in front of them, it seemed as if two invisible giant hands were picking up black and white pieces and placing them on the board.

At this moment.

Swish!

A formidable divine power permeated the air, as a middle-aged man descended nearby, respectfully bowing to the two playing chess.

"Within the Human Race, a Heavenly Union Realm suddenly appeared, with formidable strength, killing three from the Silver Soul Clan in the same realm. This person is very likely the Divine Demon Parts possessor ’Chen Yu’..."

"But when we from our clan reached the Human Race to investigate, the person had already disappeared without a trace. We don’t know where they went... Could you two elders deduce Chen Yu’s whereabouts from this clue?"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"The Chaos Demon King is an existence beyond the Upper Gods, and any of its Divine Demon Parts have the capability to shape an Upper God. We two are incapable of deducing, and even our Clan Leader would have to pay some price to obtain the clue."

The silver-haired elder woman playing chess slowly opened her mouth.

"Actually, there’s no need to deliberately pursue this person’s whereabouts; his current goal probably aligns with ours..."

The white-robed elder remarked.

The middle-aged man nodded, and his figure instantly vanished.

At this time, the two elders playing chess simultaneously opened their eyes.

"The disaster is approaching, yet our clan only obtained two Divine Demon Parts. Does that mean this universe is heading towards destruction as well?"

The white-robed elder sighed.

"Hope hasn’t been completely extinguished... let’s do our best!"

The silver-haired elder woman said.

"If we can obtain the ’Eternal Heart’, using this core part of the Chaos Demon King, we might sense the presence of other Divine Demon Parts, and there’s a chance to resurrect the Chaos Demon King before the disaster strikes!"

"But where on earth is the Eternal Heart?"

The white-robed elder looked up at the sky.

Among all parts of the Chaos Demon King, the Eternal Heart is the core and also the most mysterious.

Currently, the Heavenly Mechanism Clan has some clues about other Divine Demon Parts.

Only the Eternal Heart remains elusive...

...

Five years later.

Above the North Sea.

Swish! Swish!

Silver brilliance flickered in space as two figures suddenly appeared; it was Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun.

As soon as they showed up, they immediately fled at high speed.

Two seconds later.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea surface rolled up in massive waves, and three figures burst out from the sea, emanating terrifying divine power, shaking the sky as if they were sea gods.

"Humans, where are you running?!"

The leader shouted angrily.

His physique resembled that of the Human Race, covered in dark blue, with smooth skin like water, fish fins, and scales, and legs resembling two slender tendrils.

Especially notable was a vertical eye on his forehead, like a blue crystal.

Three-eyed Sea Clan!

The dominant race of the North Sea!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three from the Three-eyed Sea Clan transformed into azure light shadows, their figures gliding over the sea surface, flying rapidly.

Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun both mastered the Space Law, utilizing means like Spatial Teleportation, with speeds comparable to the First Layer Heaven Peak.

But the Three-eyed Sea Clan also had an incredibly fast speed on the sea, closely pursuing Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun.

"Damned humans, what exactly are your intentions, infiltrating our clan?!"

The leader shouted loudly.

"You three misunderstand us; we merely got lost in the sea and accidentally intruded into your noble territory, without any other intentions."

Chen Yu shouted loudly.

"Lost? Then how did you end up in our clan’s precious site ’Three Gods Cave’?"

The leader roared in anger, silently cursing humans for their despicable and shameless nature.

"Falling Wave God, no need to waste words with them, just kill them and take back the treasures they’ve stolen."

A female member of the Three-eyed Sea Clan beside him said.

The three from the Three-eyed Sea Clan exchanged glances, their third eye at the forehead gleamed together.

Suddenly, the world changed colors, the ocean boiled, raising raging waves.

Whoosh!

The eyes on their foreheads emitted crystalline water-blue rays, piercing through the heavens and void, suddenly descending around Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun.

"Be careful, this is the Three-eyed Sea Clan’s Innate Divine Ability."

Meng Qingyun reminded.

The sea surface around the two suddenly surged upward, forming three massive blue statues, shaped like the Three-eyed Sea Clan.

The instant the blue statues emerged, they seemed to dominate the region like rulers of the sea, an invisible power of water enveloping the heavens and earth, suppressing all foreign energies.

"Break!"

Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun simultaneously activated the Space Law, striking out with a palm forward.

The void ahead twisted, creating a void in the Water Cage, and then sprang out.

Chen Yu activated the Four Symbols Divine Body; his body expanded as the phantom of the Four Holy Beasts appeared. He swung his fists ten times in quick succession, ten thunderous orbs descended like a meteor shower.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The waves were driven thousands of feet high, and one blue statue was smashed through by Chen Yu’s punch.

The incoming Three-eyed Sea Clan was also blocked by this meteor shower.

"Damn it, these two thieves are proficient in Space Law, otherwise, on this sea, they would never escape our grasp!"

"Moreover, the physical strength of that young human is unbelievably mighty..."

The Three-eyed Sea Clan watched furiously and reluctantly as Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun fled.

"Falling Wave God, land is ahead, should we continue the pursuit?"

One of the female Three-eyed Sea Clan inquired.

"The Three Gods Cave was invaded by thieves, treasures stolen—we bear unavoidable responsibility and must capture these two thieves."

The eyes of the Falling Wave God were cold, and his words were resolute.

"However, once on land, we lose our advantage; capturing them will be considerably difficult."

"Therefore, we shall first disguise ourselves as other races, secretly approach, and await the opportunity!"

The Falling Wave God pondered, devising a corresponding strategy.

The other two from the Heavenly Union Realm nodded, agreeing with the Falling Wave God’s plan to head towards the land.

...

Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun flew for a while and, noticing that the Three-eyed Sea Clan wasn’t following, they slowed down.

"The lead for the first Divine Demon Part should probably be ruled out."

Chen Yu said, frowning.

Finding the Divine Demon Parts was challenging, as Chen Yu was mentally prepared for this.

The fruitless search in the North Sea was also anticipated.

However, five years of searching going down the drain inevitably brought some disappointment.

Fortunately, during their quest for the Divine Demon Parts, they stumbled upon a treasure land, the "Three Gods Cave" of the Three-eyed Sea Clan, where they snuck in and stole quite a bit of treasure.

Unfortunately, they had just entered the first Divine Cave when they were detected by the Heavenly Union Realm of the Three-eyed Sea Clan and were chased all the way here.

Normally, Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun weren’t afraid of those three from the Three-eyed Sea Clan.

But battling the Sea Clan experts at sea was completely unnecessary, especially if enemy reinforcements were to arrive, it would spell trouble.

Chen Yu took out an ancient small boat, a flying tool from Master Wou, now Chen Yu’s spoil of war.

"Next, head to the location of the second lead for the Divine Demon Parts..."

Aboard the small boat, Chen Yu took out six crystal-clear azure blue ice beads.

These were his spoils from the Three Gods Cave, the "Sea Soul Ice Crystal"—a divine grade material native to the Three-eyed Sea Clan territory, known for nourishing and enhancing the Divine Soul.

Each Sea Soul Ice Crystal required at least ten thousand years to mature to the Heavenly Union Realm level.

"My Divine Soul is at the First Layer Heaven Peak level, but my cultivation has fallen to the First Layer Heaven, so I don’t need these Sea Soul Ice Crystals for now."

Meng Qingyun smiled, declining the treasure that is the Sea Soul Ice Crystal.

Chen Yu did not refuse either, as he urgently needed to enhance his strength, and his soul was his shortcoming.

Holding the Sea Soul Ice Crystal in his hand, a layer of flawless light blue cold glow enveloped Chen Yu’s body and soul, permeating into his heart and soul.

Inside the Sea Soul Ice Crystal, the pure, ghostly cold power of the Soul Path gradually merged into Chen Yu’s heart and soul, augmenting his soul awareness.

The precious nature of the Sea Soul Ice Crystal, this Soul Path treasure, lies in its ability to cleanse the heart and soul, augmenting the Divine Soul without any side effects.

Three days later, Chen Yu consumed one Sea Soul Ice Crystal.

He took out the second one to continue enhancing his Divine Soul.

Three more days passed.

After consuming the second Sea Soul Ice Crystal, Chen Yu’s Divine Soul surged to the First Layer Heaven Peak level!

The strengthening of the Divine Soul level not only enhances his power but also increases Chen Yu’s efficiency in comprehending the laws.

Chen Yu temporarily kept the remaining Sea Soul Ice Crystals for future use.

Next, he took out the "Floating Secret Silver" and some other rare materials obtained from the Murong Family.

The best use for Floating Secret Silver is in crafting special tools or Divine Artifacts with spatial attributes.

However, Chen Yu did not have time to craft these, so he directly handed the Floating Secret Silver over to the Void Sky Holy Fire for refining and absorption, to enhance its quality and increase its power.

Chen Yu himself seized the time to go into seclusion for cultivation, to enhance his power and strength.

At the Heavenly Union Realm level, each advancement requires a prolonged period.

Even though Chen Yu possesses the Chaos Body and exhausts resources excessively, gaining improvement in a short time is challenging.

A year later.

The small boat slowed down.

"We’re here!"

Meng Qingyun called Chen Yu out of his retreat.

Chen Yu exited from the Heavenly Mysterious Feather, standing on the ancient small boat, gazing around.

"This is within the territory of the Mu Clan, specifically the ’Sky Wind Wood Clan’."

"The lead I received for the Divine Demon Parts points directly to the Sky Wind Wood Clan ahead..."

Meng Qingyun said.

The Mu Clan is also one of the super clans in the main world; their individual strength is not strong, but they have the advantage in numbers, with a reproduction capability surpassing that of the Human Race.

Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun disembarked from the small boat, concealed their figures, and advanced slowly.

The leads for those three Divine Demon Parts were not easy to explore.

The lead for the first Divine Demon Part pointed to the core area of the Three-eyed Sea Clan in the North Sea, where Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun almost didn’t return.

The Sky Wind Wood Clan is merely a small branch within the Mu Clan, yet its location is precisely the focal point of conflicts between the Mu Clan and the nearby Wing Clan, with several major battles between the two.

In other words, if Chen Yu and Meng Qingyun, two humans, explore this area, they will attract attention from both the Mu Clan and the Wing Clan.

Before long.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Eternal Heart pulsed with intense heat, thrumming with an overwhelming desire.

Chen Yu’s expression shifted, he halted, unable to conceal his delight, and said, "The Eternal Heart is sensing something! It seems we have come to the right place this time!"
