How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Under the observation and anticipation of the team from Prince Manor, the three great families slowly advanced into the mountain forest.

Before long.

Dense black fog and dust rolled in the mountain forest, accompanied by terrifying roars.

The battle was about to erupt!

The Fu Family, Chu Family, and Wu Family each had their Qi Transformation Realm talents participate, totaling ten people.

Those below the Postnatal Qi Transformation were deemed unnecessary sacrifices and would only be a burden.

Hmm~

The Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast moved swiftly, bringing with it a thick black fog and bizarre wind, enveloping an area of fifty to sixty feet.

Even a touch from the residual forces was enough to heavily injure and repel a common warrior in the Postnatal Stage.

The most terrifying aspect was the beast's "long tongue," which flicked quickly like lightning, unpredictable and unavoidable.

"Ah!"

A scream emerged from the crowd,

A talent in the Postnatal Stage from Wu Family was swept away by the crimson tongue.

The next moment.

That talent was swallowed by the gaping maw of the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

"Stabilize quickly!"

A brief panic erupted among the crowd.

However, the situation was quickly brought under control.

The Black Robed Puppet Master controlled an Innate Stage giant scorpion and several Postnatal Puppets to block the front line against the Long-tongued Beast.

Chen Yu, sparing no expenses, deployed his own sword shield puppet as the front-line shield.

He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng, two Sword Cultivators, delivered fierce Sword Dao attacks, greatly suppressing the Long-tongued Beast.

At the scene, only Chen Yu occasionally closed in to clash with the Long-tongued Beast.

Nevertheless, he too was tense, using the cover of the front-line puppets, and with his heart accumulating power, he significantly increased his speed.

"If I used the 'Green Moss Poison Mushroom Liquid,' I could definitely inflict fatal damage on this beast."

Chen Yu thought to himself.

However, he ultimately did not use the poison liquid.

In fact.

While the three families teamed up to suppress the Long-tongued Beast, they all held back, wary of the team from Prince Manor behind them.

The three family teams were not fools.

The Long-tongued Beast represented the last chance to turn the tables tonight; the absence of the Prince Manor team was telling.

Time slowly passed.

With the cooperation of the talents from the three families, the injuries on the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast gradually increased.

Although these wounds were not severe, their accumulating effect could not be ignored.

Puchi!

At one moment, Chen Yu exploited a flaw in the "Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast," and his "Dark Snake Sword" struck the beast's leg.

Under the moonlit night.

The "Dark Snake Sword" radiated a cold moonlight, its power surged by more than forty percent.

Chen Yu also timely accumulated power in his heart, and with the Emperor's bloodline enhancement, this strike inflicted a certain injury on the Long-tongued Beast.

The Long-tongued Beast's lower limb was injured, and the inherent venom of the "Dark Snake Sword" began to spread.

Instantly.

The Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast fell into a weak position, with reduced mobility and a clumsy figure.

From this point on.

The perilous standstill in the battle began to turn.

At this moment.

A slight sense of caution arose among the talents from the three sides.

Killing the Black-scaled Serpent Beast was inevitable; the key lay in the competition over this Ancient Beast Demon Core and the potential threat from the watching Prince Manor.

Behind the hill.

Members of the Prince Manor team exhibited cold smiles, closely observing the frontline battle.

"These three teams working together are not weak, especially the Fu Family, whose comprehensive strength is the strongest," said Luo Haochen, arms crossed, slightly surprised.

He had thought that it would be costly and difficult for the three teams to hunt the Long-tongued Beast.

Unexpectedly.

The three teams, working together with orderly offense and defense, and the unexpectedly strong Guest Elders from the Fu Family, made killing the Long-tongued Beast no longer a challenge.

"The moment the Long-tongued Beast dies will be the best time for us to make our move," Luo Haochen's lips curled into a confident smile.

…

As Prince Manor and the three families each made their moves and calculations,

No one knew.

Dozens of miles away from this mountain ridge, there was a subtle disturbance.

Between the rock walls of the underground riverbed.

Boom! Buzz!

A slight vibration came from under the ground. The river water in the riverbed boiled inexplicably.

In a certain segment of the riverbed.

The body of a Water Monster was completely shriveled, turned into a mummy, without even a trace of blood nearby.

If Chen Yu had visited this place, he would have been greatly shocked.

Hmm~

Deep in the riverbed, on a rock wall with floating blood-red crystalline patterns, a massive silhouette of a Blood-colored Ancient Beast was outlined.

At first glance, it seemed like a specimen of some ancient giant beast.

Crack!

The rock wall cracked, and the "Blood-colored Ancient Beast" embedded in the wall slowly opened a pair of blood-red, crystal-clear, cold eyes.

Then.

Its massive body slowly struggled out from the rock wall, revealing dark red scales.

This ancient beast, approximately thirty to forty feet long, had four limbs and was covered in dark red scales, looking somewhat like a lizard but also like the mythical flood dragon, emitting an invisible dragon might.

Hu~

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast roared softly, and the blood-red crystalline patterns on the surrounding rock walls suddenly turned into blood waves and merged into its body.

Instantly, the surrounding rock walls turned to dust.

This Dark Scale Dragon Beast showed a hungry expression, looking slightly weak and irritable as it surveyed its surroundings.

Hmm!

A soul-shaking roar echoed in the underground rock river, filling the silence.

Countless aquatic species trembled in fear.

After briefly listening, the Dark Scale Dragon Beast looked slightly disappointed on its face.

Suddenly.

It approached the shriveled body of the Water Monster, sniffing around it.

Quickly.

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast discovered a tunnel in the rock layer above its head, through which fresh air from the surface was flowing.

This underground passage was precisely the one Chen Yu had dug earlier.

Swish!

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast looked excited, transforming into a blood-scaled afterimage, which struck the gap in the rock wall.

As it approached the tunnel, the Dark Scale Dragon Beast incredibly shrank significantly, becoming only slightly larger than a normal tiger or leopard.

Pupu Bang!

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast's body released a layer of crystalline blood waves, and the flames churned, instantly melting the surrounding rock layers.

Before long.

This beast reached the surface and let out an earth-shattering howl.

In an instant.

An intangible pressure spread throughout the area, causing numerous species within dozens of miles to tremble and cower.

"What was that sound!"

Behind the hill, Luo Haochen suddenly shivered.

And.

His Ancient Bloodline trembled inexplicably, as if sensing some terrifying presence.

At the same time.

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast appeared on the ground and initiated a massacre.

"Ah ah ah..."

A hunting team of nearly ten members was swept over by a bloody scale afterimage.

Swoosh!

A few breaths later, only the shriveled corpses were left on the ground.

The Dark Scale Dragon Beast displayed a hint of cruelty, licking its lips as if sensing something, and swiftly headed toward the area where the "Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast" was located.

At the same time.

In front of the mountain top canopy, the expressions of many elders in the pavilions, including those in the Guiyuan Realm, changed drastically.

"Blood Dragon Beast!"

Fu Yangzi, Wu Tianxiao, and other mighty beings from the Guiyuan Realm all turned pale.

"The Blood Dragon Beast is a top contender among ancient beasts, flowing even with the bloodline of the True Dragon Holy Beast."

"How could this legendary ancient beast appear in the hunting area!"

Many elders stood up abruptly.

Whoosh!

The entire mountain top was shaken.

Even the normally composed Marquis Yunlai's expression slightly changed.

"Lord, the threat of this Blood Dragon Beast could be comparable to the Guiyuan Realm. I suggest we take action and capture this beast."

A white-bearded elder proposed.

The appearance of the Blood Dragon Beast was a massacre for the genius talents in the hunting ground.

"The array I have set up will sense and repel the presence of 'Guiyuan Realm.' And according to the rules of the Hunting Conference, unless a demon beast of the Guiyuan Realm level appears, we should not intervene."

Marquis Yunlai pondered.

Indeed.

The appearance of this Blood Dragon Beast was an accident.

This beast had just awakened and was still weak, yet its strength far surpassed the usual Qi Transformation Innate, and its threat level approached the Guiyuan Realm.

But.

This was not a reason to intervene in the conference, as long as it had not reached the Guiyuan Realm, it would not be sensed and repelled by the hunting ground's array.

It was just unfortunate for the geniuses participating in this "Hunting Conference"; their luck was poor.

Swoosh!

In the canopy screen, a bloody scale afterimage quickly approached the forest where the "Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast" was intensely fighting.

"This presence..."

Luo Haochen's Ancient Bloodline trembled, warning him, making him very uneasy.

He looked back.

Suddenly, a streak of bloody afterimage flashed from miles away.

"Quick, retreat!"

Luo Haochen's face turned pale with fright.

At that moment, his Ancient Bloodline sensed a threat nearly reaching the Guiyuan Realm.

Regardless of whether the others from Prince Manor reacted or not.

Luo Haochen was the first to flee.

"Run fast!"

Just as the bloody scale afterimage closed in within a mile, the geniuses of Prince Manor scattered.

However.

These geniuses did not entirely escape the massacre.

"Ah ah..."

Still, two or three were swept over by the bloody scale afterimage, turning into shriveled corpses.

The Blood Dragon Beast's cold eyes swept over the remaining scattered geniuses of Prince Manor without pursuing them.

It had sensed the presence of a stronger prey that could hasten its recovery.

Swoosh!

The bloody scale afterimage moved even faster, nearing the forest where the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast was fiercely battling.

In the forest.

Under the joint attack of talents from three clans, the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast was scarred and let out piteous, unwilling roars.

Just as this beast was on its last breath, seemingly about to be slain at any moment.

"What is this presence!"

Chen Yu's mysterious heart throbbed rapidly, warning him and even revealing a hint of excitement.

At the same time.

His sharp senses captured a terrifying presence quickly closing in.

This presence brought him a deadly chill.

Ye Luofeng and He Qiuyun, both talents who had comprehended Sword Intent, saw their faces change simultaneously.

"Everyone be careful!"

The two instructed their respective teams.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the bloody scale afterimage rushed into the forest, focusing its gaze on the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

Thud!

The Long-tongued Beast's entire body trembled with extreme fear and lay prostrate on the ground.

"What kind of ancient beast is this!"

The geniuses from the three clans shivered.

With a "swoosh".

Those from the Wu Family who reacted slightly slower were swept over by the bloody scale afterimage, turning into cold corpses.

Hmm!

The Blood Dragon Beast, excited, pounced in front of the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

Crack!

A swipe of its claw left a chilling dark blood light trail, piercing the head of the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast, causing red and white matter to burst forth.

Hiss!

Everyone present gasped in shock, shivering from the sight.

That powerful and cruel "Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast" was killed by one swipe of the Blood Dragon Beast's claw, although this was due to the former being weak and extremely terrified.

"Blood Dragon Beast!"

"This is the legendary ancient beast that flows with the bloodline of the True Dragon Holy Beast."

He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng, recognized the beast in turn.

Watching as the Blood Dragon Beast quickly devoured the blood and flesh of the Long-tongued Beast, the latter's body rapidly shriveled up.

At a certain moment.

The Blood Dragon Beast pulled out a demon core from the corpse, its face showing delight.

"Ancient Beast Demon Core!"

The Black Robed Puppet Master was furious, controlling two spider puppets to bind the body of the Blood Dragon Beast.

Pup pup!

Several strands of spider silk successfully wrapped around the Blood Dragon Beast.

At the same time.

The giant scorpion puppet turned into an afterimage, directly aiming for the demon core of the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

The Blood Dragon Beast, infuriated, let out a low growl.

The blood patterned energy waves on its body surface trembled, and the spider silk broke inch by inch.

Crack!

With a swipe of its claw, the Blood Dragon Beast directly knocked the giant scorpion puppet away. The latter landed with a "boom," its arms shattered, and its body nearly falling apart.

Everyone gasped.

In a single encounter, this beast knocked away and destroyed a puppet renowned for its defense from the Innate Stage.

"This beast is unstoppable!"

Chen Yu felt an urge to retreat.

But just then.

An unusual disturbance suddenly emanated from his body, a spiritual connection surfacing.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yu's face showed delight, and suddenly a bug appeared in his palm.

The Iron Moon Strange Insect's body shone with a faint blue and silver radiance, its strength greatly increased, advancing to the Postnatal Middle Stage, and emitting a chillingly dangerous aura.
