Eternal Heart

Chapter 1392: The Arrival of a Powerful Enemy

The disturbance on the Falling God Mountain Range alarmed all the experts exploring in the area.

"What happened?"

"That commotion over there is huge, could it be that a treasure has appeared?"

Many people hurried over.

From a distance, they could see a deep pit thousands of meters wide on the rugged and winding mountain range, from which emerged a terrifying divine might and Divine Demon Aura, stirring the surroundings.

Such an astonishing presence rendered the crowd hesitant to enter rashly.

Especially since Elder Tie of Ghost King Palace and Luan Yun were just watching from the side, not stepping into the pit, making everyone else even more reluctant.

It’s known that Elder Tie of Ghost King Palace has a cultivation at the Heavenly Union Realm First Layer Heaven Peak, and no one present exceeded his power.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Soon after, everyone saw three figures flying out from the pit: one from the Silver Soul Clan and two from the Human Race.

"Retreat!"

Having obtained the treasure and caused such a big commotion, Chen Yu did not intend to linger.

As for the exploration of Divine Demon Parts, Chen Yu could confirm that there was an eighty percent chance that there were none here.

"Let’s go quickly."

The Bloodline Ancestor had long wished to flee, especially since his true identity had been discovered by Ghost King Palace.

Moreover, he could tell that Chen Yu’s damaged Divine Artifact had found its other half, showing a complete form now. According to his perception, Chen Yu’s complete seal Divine Artifact likely reached the second tier!

First-tier Divine Artifacts are extremely rare even in the main world.

If a Divine Artifact rises to the second tier, it becomes entirely different; even lower gods would go crazy for it.

The appearance of a second-tier Divine Artifact is bound to bring about bloodshed and even race wars.

If they don’t leave now, they might not get another chance.

"Elder Tie, they are trying to escape!"

Luan Yun’s emotions were stirred.

This treasure land was their discovery, yet Chen Yu had gained the benefits; Luan Yun, who had lived to now, had never suffered such a loss.

"The Palace Master will arrive soon, I’ll go hold them off first."

Elder Tie vanished with determination.

Based on his judgment, the Divine Artifact Chen Yu just acquired is very likely a second-tier item.

If the Ghost King Palace could obtain a second-tier Divine Artifact, he would have rendered great merit.

"Heavenly Ghost Handprint!"

He shouted loudly, communicating with heaven and earth with his Divine Soul, his Divine Power surging out.

Above Chen Yu’s trio, black mist spread, ghostly energy rampant, a massive palm print appeared, flickering with metallic silver sheen, possessing boundless might.

Facing three Heavenly Union Realm figures, Elder Tie would not be presumptuous, he struck with full effort.

"Quickly escape!"

"God-level battle, retreat quickly!"

The crowd scattered all around.

A battle at the Heavenly Union Realm level could easily annihilate Emperor Xuanming.

Especially with Elder Tie’s formidable Heavenly Union Realm power, a single assault seemed capable of destroying mountains and rivers, demolishing everything.

Rumble!

The Heavenly Ghost Handprint descended, as if to smash Chen Yu’s trio from the clouds.

"I spared you, yet you seek your own demise?"

Chen Yu coldly shouted.

If he had intended to kill Elder Tie, the previous ambush by the trio would have seen Elder Tie dead already.

It was merely because Chen Yu didn’t want trouble, attracting unforeseen circumstances, that he hadn’t acted.

"Hahaha, seeking our own demise? You overestimate yourselves!"

Elder Tie laughed heartily.

He knew his own strength, facing three at First Layer Heaven might place him at a disadvantage.

But the notion that he would be killed was ridiculous.

However, the next moment, Elder Tie’s smile stiffened.

Chen Yu threw a punch toward the sky, instantly unleashing an incomparably violent burst of fist light, emitting a dangerous aura akin to an exploding star.

Bang!

The vast black and silver palm was instantly punched into a huge pit, collapsing and disintegrating.

At this moment, Chen Yu’s strength truly dominated the First Layer Heaven Peak; the previously slain Black Ghost God stood as living evidence.

"So powerful, his cultivation is at the First Layer Heaven Peak, yet his strength greatly surpasses mine!"

Elder Tie’s expression became extremely solemn.

With the strength displayed by Chen Yu earlier, combined with that strong Divine Artifact, along with the Bloodline Ancestor and Meng Qingyun, they could indeed kill him.

Whoosh, szzzz!

With a wave of Chen Yu’s hand, a black thunderbolt suddenly struck.

Upon closer inspection, within the black thunderbolt was a pitch-black and menacing pair of scissors.

"Top-tier first-tier Divine Artifact."

Elder Tie was utterly stunned, Chen Yu had far too many treasures.

Elder Tie immediately summoned a silver light sword, slicing through the air, forming a sharp sword arc with black and silver sheen to block Chen Yu’s [Black Thunder Scissors].

Ding bang!

A sharp clang resounded; the silver light sword was instantly struck, its surface dimmed somewhat.

Soon after, [Black Thunder Scissors] launched a series of intense assaults, the dark thunderlight splashing everywhere, creating scorched pits on the ground.

Under formidable strength and Divine Artifact suppression, Elder Tie’s Divine Artifact was damaged after a few exchanges.

"Damn it, my Divine Artifact!"

Elder Tie’s heart bled, yet he remained calm.

In the earlier clash, he had fully witnessed Chen Yu’s terrifying power.

Whoosh!

[Black Thunder Scissors] forced the Divine Artifact sword to retreat, targeting Elder Tie.

Elder Tie instantly retreated in fright, but [Black Thunder Scissors] was too fast, slicing over, cutting off a chunk of flesh from his arm.

At that moment, Elder Tie felt a strong sense of crisis, fearing for his life.

One must know, Chen Yu still has a powerful Divine Artifact that hasn’t been displayed.

"No, I can’t fight this brat, I’ll hold off his companions instead."

Elder Tie shifted his target, eyeing Meng Qingyun.

He might not necessarily need to stall Chen Yu; stalling this person would work too.

Thus, Elder Tie swiftly retreated, moving away from Chen Yu, heading to the right, and attacking Meng Qingyun.

With his First Layer Heaven Peak cultivation, interfering and stalling a Divine Realm First Layer Heaven was fairly easy.

Whoosh!

Elder Tie controlled his Divine Artifact, emanating an astonishing Divine Power brilliance, attacking from a distance.

Although Meng Qingyun’s cultivation had fallen, he still had some skills. He brandished the Green Nether Ancient Sword, wielding his profound Space Law, slashing several times, striking first despite attacking later.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their sword moves clashed swiftly in the void, exploding continuously.

"This human’s strength is also extraordinary."

Elder Tie’s expression turned grim; since when did the Human Race become this strong?

But compared to stalling Chen Yu, this was ten times easier without any crisis.

"Once the Palace Master arrives, you all shall die!"

Elder Tie thought to himself.

But just then.

"Elder Tie, save me! Save me!"

Luan Yun’s voice for help came from behind.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Elder Tie discovered that after choosing to stall Meng Qingyun, Chen Yu was actually controlling the [Black Thunder Light Shears] to kill Luan Yun.

Elder Tie’s face instantly changed drastically.

The Palace Master’s importance towards Luan Yun was well known throughout the Ghost King Palace.

"Stop, thief; I’ll let you all go!"

Elder Tie immediately compromised.

If Luan Yun died here, he too might face a mortal threat.

However, Chen Yu’s expression remained unchanged as the [Black Thunder Light Shears] drew a black lightning arc towards Luan Yun.

Luan Yun, only at the Demigod Realm, even if he fully exploded his speed, couldn’t dodge this strike.

In a life-and-death crisis, a Divine Soul brand mark on Luan Yun activated, bursting forth with an astonishing Divine Power aura, transforming into an immense shadow a hundred zhang tall with boundless might and piercing eyes — it was the Ghost King Palace Master.

As this phantom appeared, it formed a Divine Power protection to shield Luan Yun.

Clang!

The [Black Thunder Light Shears] pierced through the Divine Power protection but got stuck.

Luan Yun had such a life-preserving trump card; Chen Yu had anticipated it.

With a slight movement of his Divine Soul Thought, the [Black Thunder Light Shears] shone again, breaking through the obstacle and splitting Luan Yun’s body into two, causing his soul to perish.

The Ghost King Palace Master, rushing towards the Falling God Mountain Range, suddenly sensed something.

"The means I left on Yun’er have been activated!"

This indicated that Luan Yun faced a life-and-death crisis.

"Yun’er, your father is coming!"

The Ghost King Palace Master surged with black light all around, increasing his speed by fifty percent, tearing through the void.

Within two breaths, he arrived successfully.

Such rapid arrival meant he believed he could surely rescue Luan Yun; he wanted to see who dared attack his son. .

But what the Ghost King Palace Master saw was the scene of Luan Yun being sliced in half.

"Yun’er!"

A thunderous roar charged from behind, causing the heavens and earth’s elements to swirl and all living beings’ minds to tremble.

"Ghost King Palace Master!"

The Bloodline Ancestor’s heart tightened.

Not only that, but beside the Ghost King Palace Master was an old man from the Silver Soul Clan with a restrained aura, making it impossible to discern his exact cultivation.

Yet intuition told the Bloodline Ancestor that this old man from the Silver Soul Clan was extremely frightening; not sensing one’s cultivation meant his power was above his own.

"Blood Lord, this is bad!"

The Bloodline Ancestor transmitted to Chen Yu.

He hadn’t expected Elder Tie to truly send a distress call and also that the reinforcements arrived so quickly.

Even more unforeseen was that the reinforcement was the Ghost King Palace Master!

"Daring to kill my son, I shall flay you alive, refine your soul, and burn your essence, leaving you wishing for death over life!"

A deep, angry voice, accompanied by a maddening killing intent, spread out.

The Ghost King Palace Master’s eyes were filled with endless killing intent; he rose dozens of zhang high, silver patterns shining forth as heaven and earth elements swirled incessantly.

The other explorers on the Falling God Mountain Range fled frantically.

"Run quickly!"

"The Ghost King Palace Master’s fourth son was slain; the Palace Master is here personally for vengeance!"

Even those at the Heavenly Union Realm First Layer Heaven dared not linger to watch the battle, fearing the Ghost King Palace Master would implicate them in his grief over losing his son.

...

A million miles away from the Falling God Mountain Range.

Swish!

Amidst the void, suddenly silver waves surged, revealing a floating figure cloaked entirely within a mysterious robe.

"Who exactly is that Wing Clan member?"

The robed figure muttered.

Earlier, while tracking Chen Yu, his eyes suddenly caught sight of another mysterious Wing Clan member, prompting him to change his tracking target.

Yet that mysterious Wing Clan member was extraordinarily skilled; despite pursuing up till now, he achieved no results.

This reinforced his resolution to definitely capture that mysterious Wing Clan member!

"Why would this Wing Clan member escape to the Silver Soul Clan?"

The robed figure’s eyes, one silver and one gold, scanned all directions.

In his eyes, swirls slowly rotated, seemingly able to perceive everything in the world and see through all unknowns.

"Divine Demon Parts?"

He hesitated slightly, having once again encountered Divine Demon Parts.

This feeling seemed exactly like his initial pursuit target.

Such coincidence, meeting the target again.

Now that he lost the trail of the mysterious Wing Clan member, encountering the Divine Demon Parts naturally meant he couldn’t set them aside again.

Swish!

The silver light around the robed figure fluctuated, his body flickered and vanished, heading towards the Falling God Mountain Range.
