Eternal Heart

Chapter 1391: Two Become One

"The Palace Master is coming?"

Elder Tie sensed that things might not be so simple.

And in fact, not only was the Palace Master coming, but he was also bringing along Ghost Refining God, whose strength was not weaker than his own.

Bang! Bang!

In front, within the rock wall, a series of cracking sounds echoed, and cracks spread in all directions.

Under divine sense perception, it was discovered that all the rocks above were cracking, and this place seemed about to collapse.

From within the shattered black metal rock wall, strands of black and grey light waves emanated, revealing an ancient divine demon aura, while an indescribable heavy sensation spread in all directions. .

"The treasure is about to appear!"

Elder Tie’s heart was filled with excitement.

He alone could not contend with Chen Yu and the three Heavenly Union Realm cultivators, but stalling them was simple enough.

Once the Palace Master arrived, everything would be settled.

"This is originally my treasure. Once my father arrives, you all must die!"

Luan Yun’s gaze was icy cold as he glared at Chen Yu and the others, hiding his murderous intent deep within his heart.

Boom!

The black metal rock wall suddenly split wide open with a huge opening, instantly dividing into two, revealing its true form within.

Roar!

A roar erupted, and the divine demon aura spread, shaking the heavens and the earth in all directions, causing all the surrounding rock and soil to collapse.

A single roar caused the ground to crack, mountains to collapse, and everything to shatter.

All present were Heavenly Union Realm cultivators, with Luan Yun being the weakest as a Demigod, spinning divine power around him, pulverizing and annihilating all the rocks that came crashing down.

Everyone saw, from within the broken metal wall, a massive black metal beast, similar to a dragon and a tiger, with two curved horns on its head, exuding immense might.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Luan Yun trembled under the gaze of the metal beast and flew back in retreat.

Immediately, the divine power barrier around him showed signs of disruption and soon dissipated.

Without the protection of divine power, an incomparably heavy gravitational force descended, causing Luan Yun to fall on the spot, then be buried by rocks, unable to escape.

"Young Master Luan Yun!"

Elder Tie cried out in shock, but the divine power around him was similarly interfered with, making it extremely difficult to control, and its power weakened.

The gravitational suppression contained divine demon pressure, making it extremely hard to resist.

The culprit behind all this was naturally the metal beast, surrounded by a strong gravitational field within a range of ten thousand zhang and a unique magnetic force capable of disrupting everything, even affecting divine sense.

"This beast bears a striking resemblance to the Earth Demon Dragon Beast recorded in ancient texts of the Ancient Divine Demon Giant Beasts."

Elder Tie thought to himself.

It was said that the Earth Demon Dragon Beast was an incredibly heavy giant beast, which prevented it from flying even in its Sky Sea Realm; though it managed to fly later, the energy consumption was several times that of ordinary beings.

This was the greatest shortcoming of the Earth Demon Dragon Beast, yet no one ever dared to underestimate it, for this divine demon giant beast also possessed powerful special talents.

However, it was obvious that this creature was not a true Earth Demon Dragon Beast, nor even a living creature. It resembled more of a mechanical puppet, or perhaps a divine artifact.

Elder Tie surmised that his strength was not inferior to this metal beast, but the key was that the gravitational and magnetic interference would significantly weaken his power.

Rather, it would be better to leave this conundrum to Chen Yu and the others while he went to rescue Luan Yun first.

Bam! Bam!

Divine power surged around Elder Tie, coalescing into two metallic silver glowing hands, which dug through the rock and soil below.

Soon, Luan Yun was rescued by him.

However, given Luan Yun’s cultivation, under the gravitational suppression of the metal beast, he couldn’t fly, and it was only under Elder Tie’s protection that he could escape from here.

"Young Master, let’s leave this place first!"

Elder Tie retreated with Luan Yun, then flew upward, smashing all the rock and soil above their heads.

As long as they moved away from the metal beast, the gravitational suppression would gradually weaken.

Bam!

Elder Tie and Luan Yun pierced through the deep earth, breaking out into the open.

But Elder Tie’s divine sense was constantly monitoring the situation underground, eager to see how Chen Yu and the metal beast were faring in battle.

The first reason was to understand Chen Yu’s strength, and the second was to gauge the status of the metal beast.

"With the strength of this creature, it should be able to completely suppress the three at the First Layer Heaven."

Elder Tie thought to himself.

Even his First Layer Heaven Peak-level divine power was interfered with, weakening its power by thirty percent.

The divine power condensed by Luan Yun had no resistance, being disrupted and dissipated entirely.

Though the impact on those at the First Layer Heaven might be slightly less, it would still weaken them by about fifty percent.

Underground.

After the metal beast appeared, it immediately fixed its gaze on Chen Yu, its form continuously expanding until it reached a height of three thousand zhang.

The gravity and black magnetic light waves infused with divine demon aura descended around Chen Yu, turning the area around him into a vacuum zone.

The Bloodline Ancestor retreated in fear.

"Hand over the item in your possession, and you may be spared!"

The fierce eyes of the metal beast stared at Chen Yu, its voice sounding like a tempest sweeping through.

"Blood Lord, let me assist you in subduing this monster."

The Bloodline Ancestor had already guessed that this metal beast was Chen Yu’s target.

To win Chen Yu’s favor, he resolved to be of great help this time.

Whoosh!

The Bloodline Ancestor unleashed a Half-God Artifact, a short blood-red blade, emitting a blood-stained and eerie glow, slicing through the air in a fine red line, instantly piercing toward the metal beast.

However, as the Half-God Artifact approached a certain distance from the metal beast, its power began to wane and started to sink.

It was hard to believe the immense gravitational suppression the Half-God Artifact was enduring.

The blade was clearly aimed at the chest of the metal beast but ultimately struck its foot.

Clang!

The metal beast looked on with disdain, lifting its foot abruptly to clash with the Half-God Artifact, sending it flying away with a single kick.

"So strong!"

The Bloodline Ancestor was alarmed. When the Half-God Artifact returned to his side, he found the sword tip was actually worn.

Under one foot, his Half-God Artifact was damaged a few degrees.

In the distance, Elder Tie saw this and was slightly surprised as well, laughing, "Let these people fight that beast first, and when the Palace Master arrives, we’ll catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Luan Yun hurriedly nodded, given the current situation, as a demigod, there was nothing he could do.

"I’ll give you three breaths, if you don’t hand it over, I’ll turn you into minced meat!"

The metal beast roared again, its eyes fixed on Chen Yu.

Under the gravitational pressure imbued with the aura of the Ancient Gods and Demons, Chen Yu couldn’t escape using Spatial Teleportation.

But Chen Yu didn’t plan to run. Instead, under the fierce power of the metal beast, he shouted sternly: "Beast, do not act presumptuously!"

"You are also a part of this Divine Artifact, now that I have refined this artifact, I am your master!"

Chen Yu said confidently.

Through the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, he determined that the metal beast was another part of this broken Divine Artifact.

"Seeking death!"

The metal beast’s eyes shot out a fierce light, and in an instant, centered on itself, everything nearby began to solidify and then turn metallic.

"This..."

The Bloodline Ancestor’s scalp tingled, he quickly retreated, and hurriedly said: "Blood Lord, retreat quickly."

"Go!"

Chen Yu unleashed the All-Magnetic Divine Stone.

Indeed, the metal beast’s ability was strong, but in direct combat, Chen Yu did not fear. Moreover, he had the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, which could restrain the metal beast.

Faced with the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, the metal beast’s eyes dimmed, its metallizing ability slightly stagnant, seemingly difficult to act against the All-Magnetic Divine Stone.

In fact, that was the case.

When the All-Magnetic Divine Stone was fully activated by Chen Yu, enveloping it in magnetic light waves, the metal beast’s form involuntarily shrunk, and its aura fell.

This scene was really like a tiger suddenly turning into a sick cat.

Chen Yu, holding the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, operated the Space Law and instantly approached.

"Damn human, you are not worthy to be the master of this Divine Artifact!"

The shrunken metal beast roared unwillingly!

Chen Yu couldn’t be bothered to argue, activating the Four Symbols Divine Body, unleashing the Four Symbols Domain, dispelling the gravity domain of the metal beast.

He punched with full force, the massive dim light fist, carrying a violent and rampant aura, hitting the metal beast.

Bang!

The metal beast sank a thousand feet down, forming a deep pit.

Then, Chen Yu charged in, smashing the All-Magnetic Divine Stone.

The injured metal beast, facing the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, could only exert about four-tenths of its seven-tenths strength.

At this moment, its strength was just at the First Layer Heaven’s level, completely suppressed by Chen Yu.

Buzz!

The metal beast’s size shrank further, turning into a palm-sized form, landing above the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, the two perfectly fused together.

The process of subduing was quite simple.

In fact, even the Bloodline Ancestor, as long as he held the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, had a chance to win.

Actually, the key was at the very beginning, when facing the domineering and unparalleled metal beast. Once intimidated and handing over the All-Magnetic Divine Stone, it meant failure.

"Is this its complete form?"

Chen Yu looked over; after the two merged into one, it seemed like a seal.

This seal was surrounded by dark, heavy, twisted light waves, exuding a faint aura of the Ancient Gods and Demons. Just one look, and it was clearly a powerful treasure!

"I wonder what level this complete Divine Artifact is?"

Chen Yu felt anticipation in his heart, controlling the seal, which slowly landed in his hand.

...

In the sky, Elder Tie’s divine sense continually observed the battle situation.

Although his divine sense was interfered with, making the perceived images not very clear, the general situation was still crystal clear.

"Not good!"

He saw that the metal beast was completely suppressed when facing Chen Yu, all because of the All-Magnetic Divine Stone.

Soon after, he saw Chen Yu subduing the metal beast.

"That monster turned out to be the other half of that broken Divine Artifact!"

Elder Tie understood everything.

The broken Divine Artifact already had such powers, and the metal beast was even more terrifyingly powerful. What kind of transformation would occur when the two merged into one?

Elder Tie’s heart pounded wildly, coveting that Divine Artifact.

...

At the same time.

Outside the Falling God Mountain Range.

Swish! Swish!

Two dark, gloomy lights suddenly descended here, the surrounding heaven and earth submitting under their power.

"Arrived!"

One of the gloomy lights transformed into a majestic and tall member of the Silver Soul Clan, who was the Ghost King Palace Master.

The other person was the Ghost Refining God.

"Yun’er is safe..."

The Ghost King Palace Master first contacted Luan Yun, confirming the safety of his son.

Immediately after, he learned of the treasure appearing within the Falling God Mountain Range, and he laughed: "At most, it’s just a first-grade Divine Artifact."

But then, he saw deep within the mountain range, a thick black and gray light beam soared into the sky, its immense and shocking power shook all directions, covering most of the Falling God Mountain Range, causing many explorers flying mid-air to fall directly to the ground.

"Such power, could it be a top-grade first-grade Divine Artifact, or even... second-grade!"

The Ghost King Palace Master was shaken inside.

Beside him, the Ghost Refining God, who had a calm face, also slightly raised his head, his scarlet-black eyes flashing with a strange light.
