How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 141 - 0 Snake King’s Gall Acquired
Chapter 141: Chapter 0141 Snake King’s Gall Acquired
Chu Country, Lu Yun City battlefield.
The blood-colored light screen condensed above the battlefield, its blood-colored mist transformed into a frenzied vortex state, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
Below the blood screen, near the stone platform, many high-ranking individuals from both the Three Sects and the Bone Demon Palace gathered.
Among them.
The Sect Master of the Three Sects and the Palace Master Fu of the Bone Demon Palace were seated cross-legged with closed eyes, each on opposite sides of the stone platform.
Suddenly.
From the distant Bone Demon Palace camp area, a sound of breaking through the air came, accompanied by a furious roar.
“Who is it! Who killed my child!”
“My child, having just awakened his Bloodline Power, how could he die so suddenly!”
A chilling voice approached from afar.
“Guardian Shangguan?”
Members of both camps, many from the Qi Transformation Realm, looked toward a middle-aged man in purple hair and gold armor floating in the air.
This gold-armored middle-aged man, with facial features and purple hair similar to Shangguan Qi,
was indeed Shangguan Qi’s father, Guardian Shangguan!
In the Bone Demon Palace, besides the Supreme Elder and the Palace Master, Guardian Shangguan was one of the few with the highest strength and status.
“Guardian Shangguan, are you sure that Shangguan Qi is dead?”
Palace Master Fu showed surprise.
Shangguan Qi had actually awakened his Bloodline Power, something even he was unaware of.
If this were true, almost no disciple from the Three Sects could have directly slain Shangguan Qi.
Unless.
That Shangguan Qi was seeking his own death, challenging some of the powerful ancient Demon Beasts in the Blood Burial Secret Realm.
“Half a year ago, I arranged a ‘Lifebound Token’ for Qier. When he is in mortal danger or dies, the Lifebound Token would react.”
Guardian Shangguan took a deep breath.
After speaking.
He opened his palm, revealing a cracked black token with blood patterns.
The elders of the Bone Demon Palace looked at each other, many sighed in pity.
In both the Three Sects and the Bone Demon Palace, only some high-status true-transmission or secret-transmission disciples would go to great lengths to set up a Lifebound Token.
Normally, a Lifebound Token, which is fused with the host’s vital blood beforehand, forms a mysterious connection.
Once the Lifebound Token breaks, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance the host has perished.
Moreover, Shangguan Qi was in a high-risk area like the Blood Burial Garden.
“Guardian Shangguan, we must wait until the end of the Blood Burial Garden incident to interrogate our sect’s disciples and track down the perpetrator.”
An elder of the Bone Demon Palace comforted.
“I have essentially confirmed who the suspect is.”
Guardian Shangguan’s expression turned cold as he scanned the area of the Yunyue Sect.
Specifically.
His gaze fixed on Elder Mao.
“Oh? Guardian Shangguan, do you suspect that my disciple, Chen Yu, killed your son?”
Elder Mao was astonished.
He knew something of the enmity between Shangguan Qi and Chen Yu.
If Shangguan Qi hadn’t awakened his Bloodline Power, Elder Mao would think it quite normal.
But.
After the awakening of the Bloodline Power, the enhancement in combat capabilities was extraordinary, especially since Shangguan Qi’s cultivation was higher than Chen Yu’s.
“Hmph! Among the disciples from the Three Sects who entered the Blood Burial Garden, that Chen Yu was my son’s only enemy and the biggest lifelong rival. His death is definitely related to him.”
Guardian Shangguan spoke with conviction.
Before the Blood Burial Garden opened, he still remembered Shangguan Qi clenching his teeth in hatred, often muttering, “Chen Yu.”
“Ha ha ha… I honestly hope that it was my disciple who killed him. Well done! So satisfying! To kill a secret disciple of your palace, a top genius with awakened bloodline power, what glory that is.”
Elder Mao laughed smugly.
Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Three Sects Camp all clapped and laughed.
Although they thought that Chen Yu probably didn’t have the ability.
“Entering the Blood Burial Garden means fair competition. If you die, you can only blame your inadequate strength or poor fortune.”
A group of elders all echoed Elder Mao.
The leaders of the Bone Demon Palace, including Master Fu, remained silent.
“You…”
Guardian Shangguan’s eyes blazed with murderous fury, but he had to swallow it down for the moment.
He understood the reasoning.
But the person who died was his beloved son. If any of the high-ranking officials present were in his shoes, they would likely not be calm either.
Blood Burial Garden, deep in the snake cave.
Boom! Puchi!
An impressively fierce battle unfolded at the entrance of the Snake King’s den.
Six disciples, divided between the Bone Demon Palace and the Three Sects, joined forces to combat a mottled Snake King.
Uh! Roar roar!
Chen Yu and a man surnamed Yuan took turns using the “Copper Lion Roar,” sending out bell-like sonic booms and waves that occasionally swept towards the Snake King and surrounding snakes.
In the process.
Chen Yu activated the Sound Wave Secret Technique twice for every one time the man named Yuan used it.
Besides the Snake King, the surrounding snakes suffered massive bleeding from their seven orifices and became dizzy, slashed remotely by Yi Yunfei and Senior Sister Yi.
In terms of power, Chen Yu’s sonic attacks were stronger.
Whenever he launched the Copper Lion Roar, it could intimidate the group of snakes, and even occasionally, kill some weaker Organ Refining Stage vicious snakes.
Even.
Even the Snake King was slightly affected by his Copper Lion Roar.
Though the effect was minor, for a Snake King not at the peak of strength, and facing attacks from Mei Changqing and the Demon Clown, it still proved somewhat effective.
“Vile beast!”
Mei Changqing, holding a dark green bamboo staff, dragged a vast shadow of dark black bamboo behind him, exploding like a dark bamboo forest with astonishing power.
That dark green bamboo staff was actually a medium-grade treasured artifact.
For those who had just entered the Postnatal Qi Transformation, medium-grade treasured artifacts were rare and suitable weapons.
Boom! Hiss, hiss!
In that burst of dark bamboo shadows, the strikes hit the Snake King, leaving trails of blood and continually accumulating.
Pang Tiancheng, holding a Wolf Fang Club, occasionally stepped up to help, fiercely striking the wounds.
The Snake King, already slow due to not fully digesting the demon beast inside its body, weakened further under the slight impact of the sonic attacks.
“Strike!”
Chen Yu, holding the Dark Snake Sword, found an opening to stab the sword into one of the Snake King’s wounds.
Puchi!
The fierce poison from the Dark Snake Sword entered the Snake King’s body. Although it could not inflict a fatal wound on a Postnatal Demon Beast, it was enough to worsen the injury and reduce its mobility.
At one moment.
Swoosh!
Amidst the chaotic battle, a little bug burrowed into an injury on the massive body of the Snake King.
This detail was subtle, unnoticed by anyone in the chaotic fight in the dimly lit cave.
Chen Yu’s eyes flickered as he let out a slight sigh of relief.
Afterward came the battle.
The Snake King increasingly found himself struggling and even began to flee in panic.
However,
the Snake King was seriously injured, plus the undigested demon beast carcass inside him and the chaos caused by poison and insects in his body, drastically reduced his combat ability and mobility.
This made it impossible for him to escape the siege.
Hoo-hoo!
Chen Yu and the armored man together launched a sonic attack.
Mei Changqing, holding a dark green bamboo staff, relentlessly pursued and struck the Snake King, causing him to shriek pitifully.
Until a certain moment.
“Die!”
Mei Changqing’s dark green bamboo staff transformed into overlapping sharp shadows of bamboo, and with a “pu-chi” sound, he pierced through the Snake King’s gaping mouth and throat.
Boom!
The Demon Clown’s Wolf Fang Club viciously struck the Snake King’s eyes, splattering blood.
The Snake King struggled for a long time, bleeding profusely, and gradually losing the ability to resist.
Swoosh!
Chen Yu suddenly flashed, reaching a spot abdomen of the Snake King and thrusting his hand into a gap gnawed by the insects.
Hula!
With a yank, Chen Yu pulled out a huge snake gallbladder, his face showing delight.
Meanwhile,
the Iron Moon Strange Insect emerged from the Snake King’s body, its body appearing plump, seemingly having had a satisfying meal.
Chen Yu noticed that the aura of the Iron Moon Strange Insect had somewhat increased.
It seems the Snake King’s body was a treasure trove; the Iron Moon Strange Insect had benefitted from gnawing on some critical organs inside.
Just as Chen Yu stowed away the snake gallbladder, he suddenly felt a deadly chill approaching, accompanied by the pressure from the Qi Transformation Realm.
Thump thump!
His heart suddenly pounding, Chen Yu rolled to the ground, using the Snake King’s body as a shield.
Bang!
A dark bamboo shadow swept across the Snake King’s body, creating a half-inch deep blood groove and splattering flesh and blood.
Chen Yu gasped, his back soaked with cold sweat.
To know,
the Snake King’s skin was almost as good as a medium-grade treasure, barely weakened even in death.
This strike, had it been aimed at flesh, would have been no different from striking paper.
“Quick reflexes!”
Mei Changqing’s lips curved into a cold sneer, pointing his dark green bamboo staff obliquely at Chen Yu, who was rolling across the ground.
Run!
At the same moment, Yi Yunfei and Senior Sister Yi hurriedly ran towards the cave exit.
The Demon Clown sneered menacingly and, together with the armored man, chased after the severely injured Yi Yunfei and his companion.
Chen Yu, however, was tightly watched by Mei Changqing.
One-on-one, facing a Qi Transformation Realm opponent.
Chen Yu felt a heavy weight in his chest, facing the biggest challenge of his life.
The crucial point was that Mei Changqing was not taking him lightly at all, even drawing his weapon.
Swoosh!
A reddish-black small orb appeared in Chen Yu’s hand.
“Yin Fire Pearl!”
Mei Changqing’s expression slightly changed, recognizing the origin of the orb.
The Yin Fire Pearl could severely injure those in the Postnatal Qi Transformation if within its core range.
But soon,
Mei Changqing’s face showed a trace of scorn, “Had you secretly used this pearl, you might have threatened me a bit. But now that you’re blatantly using it…”
In a prepared state, the pearl would hardly threaten those in the Postnatal Qi Transformation.
“Is that so?”
Chen Yu coldly chuckled.
Just as he finished speaking,
Mei Changqing felt a movement under the rocks beneath his feet.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a silvery black dot bit into Mei Changqing’s sole.
“I won’t make the same mistake twice.
Mei Changqing sneered, channeling True Qi under his feet and stomping hard on the ground.
Boom!
The ground shattered, and that stomp drove the Iron Moon Strange Insect deeper into the rock layer, its life and death unknown.
However,
before Mei Changqing could gloat, Chen Yu on the opposite side began to swell like a small water tank, the air currents around him whirling violently.

Thump thump! Thump thump!
As Chen Yu was brewing the Copper Lion Roar, his heart was gathering energy to the limit.
Hoo-hoo!
A deep, resounding roar like a great bell shaking the mountains, seemingly emitted by an ancient beast, echoed.
Whoosh~
At that moment, both sides of the mountain vibrated slightly, sending stone chips flying and creating numerous cracks; nearby weaker snakes burst their bodies, splattering blood and flesh.
Only to see,
a thunderous wave of sonic energy surged forth, a cyan-black evil wind forming a fan-shaped blast and hitting Mei Changqing.
“What!”
Mei Changqing felt his blood surge and his mind momentarily dazzled, buzzing loudly.
That earth-shattering roar even affected him, a being of the Postnatal Qi Transformation.
Even the Demon Clown and the armored man, who had chased more than ten yards away, heard that roar and felt their hearts tremble.
Mei Changqing was shocked; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu’s “Copper Lion Roar” to be held back.
Originally,
Chen Yu’s previous use of Copper Lion Roar had only been at eighty percent power, proven in practice to slightly affect the Snake King.
But now,
not only had he unleashed full power, but he also utilized a mysterious surge from his heart to increase the explosion’s force.
The power increased by a full thirty to forty percent!
“Boom!”
Caught off-guard, Mei Changqing’s body shook violently, his blood roiling, his eardrums nearly bursting. Had it not been for his True Qi protecting his body in time, some of his organs would have been damaged.
Critically, his body stiffened, even flickering half a breath.
Half a breath, in an evenly matched battle, was enough to affect the outcome, even life and death.
Although Chen Yu was not on the same level as Mei Changqing, it was enough to throw the Yin Fire Pearl to the closest area to Mei Changqing.
“No!”
Mei Changqing roared angrily, watching the pearl crash in front of him and burst into a billowing crimson and dark flame.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of red flames and dark wind instantly engulfed Mei Changqing within nearly thirty feet.
