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

The Hill Giant ignored Shi Mian's displeased gaze, his pale red crystal-like eyes sweeping over the three human figures and one ancient beast present as he bellowed, "How did you come to the Stone Cloud Realm?"

The voice of the Hill Giant was loud and clear, forming a storm that swept in all directions.

Everyone's ears buzzed, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble. Chen Yu, however, fared better, being a Body Cultivator with a strong physique.

Nevertheless, from this question alone, it was clear that the Hill Giant possessed extraordinary strength.

Among them, the man in the gray robe had even witnessed the Hill Giant slaughtering human prodigies before and was extremely fearful of him.

In his view, the threat of the Hill Giant might even be greater than that posed by You Yuli and Chen Yu.

"Speak, how did you come to the Stone Cloud Realm?"

"Speak quickly, how did you enter the Stone Cloud Realm?"

The Stone Ball brothers also spoke up.

The Hill Giant frowned slightly; he felt that the intimidating presence he had built up was completely ruined by the Stone Ball brothers.

Not only did the Stone Ball brothers repeat the same question, but they had repeated the exact question he had asked.

"Why should we tell you?" You Yuli responded disdainfully.

In her eyes, other races were enemies, and the Stone Race was an inferior species beneath humans.

She, You Yuli, was of the Human Race, and moreover, a prodigy of the You Clan!

"If you won't speak, then die here!" the Hill Giant roared.

The Stone Cloud Realm was the domain of the Stone Race, and the cunning human race must have some devious plots; they simply couldn't be allowed to live.

"You think you clumsy stones can kill me?" You Yuli sneered, invoking her Bloodline Power as she immediately fled.

While the defensive power and strength of the Stone Race were incredibly formidable, they generally shared one obvious weakness: slow speed.

Whoosh!

A burst of blue light and fierce flames erupted from beneath You Yuli's feet, her speed abruptly increased, and she transformed into a blue streak, flying away.

"Stay!"

Chen Yu had been watching You Yuli closely; seeing her fleeing now, he extended his right hand's index finger and used Yangming Sword Point.

He had conflicts with the You Clan already, and if not for Red Flame King's intervention, You Yuli might have already killed Chen Yu during his closed-door cultivation.

Had the Stone Race not interfered, Chen Yu would have certainly taken You Yuli's life.

Now, so many powerful Stone Race members had suddenly appeared, Chen Yu felt it was an opportunity to deal with You Yuli using the Stone Race's help.

In any case, Chen Yu would not easily let You Yuli go.

Swish!

The Yangming Sword Point, swift as a red arrow, shot out towards You Yuli's lower leg at high speed.

You Yuli was only on guard against the Hill Giant and didn't expect Chen Yu to make a move. She hastily dodged, but the side of her lower leg was still pierced by the Yangming Sword Point.

"Damn it, Chen Yu, you actually ambushed me!" You Yuli cursed through her teeth.

At that moment, the Hill Giant launched an attack on You Yuli.

His powerful arm grabbed a black Stone Ball and hurled it with force.

Boom!

The sound of the air tearing rapidly neared You Yuli, the stone horns on top of the Stone Ball aiming for her as it violently thrust forward.

"Human, watch as I pierce through your chest!" the black Stone Ball cackled.

"Big brother, pierce through her chest," its brother cheered.

Clang!

You Yuli placed her sword horizontally in front of her, blocking the Stone Ball thrown by the Hill Giant, the collision of the two causing a crisp resounding boom.

Immediately, You Yuli's precious sword was bent inward, pressing towards her chest, a surge of force impacting her body and blasting her over twenty meters away.

"Such powerful strength!" You Yuli coughed out a mouthful of blood.

She was busy fending off the Hill Giant's attack and had neglected Chen Yu, thus her formation was disrupted by him, and she was subsequently struck by the Hill Giant's attack, leading to such a plight.

Suddenly, a massive dark shadow loomed over her, and You Yuli felt an immense pressure and crisis. She rolled her body and tumbled five meters to the right.

Boom!

A gigantic figure landed, the spot where You Yuli had just been lying was now a huge crater.

One could imagine that if You Yuli hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, she may have already been crushed into a pulp by the Hill Giant.

"The others are yours to deal with; this Half-step Sky Sea Realm human is mine," the Hill Giant roared.

In his eyes, among these people, You Yuli was the highest in cultivation and surely the strongest.

While the other two and one ancient beast were all at the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak, they could be temporarily left to Shi Mian and the others.

"Brother, let's handle this person."

"Fine, we'll handle this one, big brother!"

The Stone Ball brothers, both flying towards Chen Yu.

And Shi Mian headed towards the man in the gray robe.

"My God!"

The man in the gray robe felt his hairs stand on end as he saw a gigantic Stone Face nearly thirty feet tall close in on him.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Shi Mian roared, opening his mouth to inhale fiercely, creating a massive whirlwind with a terrifying suction force. The soil and rocks on the ground lifted into the air, sucked into Shi Mian's mouth.

The man in the gray robe's movements were also affected, slowing down.

At that moment, Shi Mian suddenly spat out countless hard fragments of stone, sharp as swords, all flying towards the man in the gray robe.

On the other side, the Stone Ball brothers faced off against Chen Yu.

"Brother, it seems we've chosen the wrong opponent; this Spirit Pet belongs to that human."

"We thought we could take on two against one, but it turned out to be two against two; we selected the wrong opponent," the Stone Ball brothers vented their frustration.

"It doesn't matter; we have the boss with us!"

"Right, with the boss here!"

The Stone Ball brothers consoled each other.

"Chen Yu, quickly take care of these two small Stone Race beings."

The Red Flame King frowned, as he found the communication method between the two Stone Balls exceedingly bizarre.

"Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak, equivalent to twenty Slaughter Points."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly and immediately struck out.

So far, he remained at zero Slaughter Points, but taking out these two Stone Balls would earn him forty points.

Moreover, these two Stone Balls appeared feeble, seemingly easy to handle.

As Chen Yu attacked, the two Stone Balls shook violently, their stone horns on top slicing through the air with earthen-colored blades.

"Break!"

Chen Yu's fists swung out at once, forcefully confronting the Little Stone Clan's attack.

Boom bang!

With a punch, the earthen blades were shattered by Chen Yu.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Chen Yu's fists bombarded repeatedly, smashing the earthen blades to bits and closing in on one Stone Ball.

This Stone Ball showed no fear, its stone horns on top aiming straight at Chen Yu, fiercely stabbing forward.

Boom bang!

Chen Yu extended his palms, striking the Stone Ball from above, blocking its offensive.

"What immense strength!"

The Stone Ball was slightly shocked; it had always heard that humans were weak, and the Stone Clan, if up close, could crush them.

But Chen Yu's arms, like two iron pillars, held off its assault, impervious to penetration.

Boom bang!

Chen Yu's arms suddenly exerted force, as Demon Pattern True Essence surged out, sending the Stone Ball flying a dozen yards away, crashing to the ground.

However, the Stone Ball quickly took flight again—though some rock fell from its body, it seemed unharmed.

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; the defensive power of the Stone Clan was indeed formidable.

Elsewhere, the Red Flame King had another Stone Ball on the run, which would have long since met a fiery death under its claws if not for the Stone Clan's strong resistance to fire.

"Brother, this human is very strong."

"Brother, this Spirit Pet is also very powerful!"

The two brothers confided in each other, experiencing a feeling of shared adversity.

"Let's burrow underground."

"Yes, let's use Earth Escape!"

The two brothers suddenly came up with a plan.

Thump! Thump!

The Stone Ball brothers angled their stone horns towards the ground and then dived sharply downwards, drilling into the earth and disappearing without a trace.

"Don't delay any longer, quickly deal with these two annoying fellows."

The Red Flame King seemed to detest the Stone Balls brothers' method of communication.

"Okay!"

Chen Yu nodded; he had no intention of dragging things out either.

Suddenly, a tremor came from below; the ground directly underneath Chen Yu exploded, and a black Stone Ball shot out, its sharp stone horns on top lunging at Chen Yu.

The surrounding rock and soil, under the Stone Ball's control, transformed into three massive stone pillars, crashing towards Chen Yu.

"Demon Annihilation Claw!"

Chen Yu activated the first demon pattern, and his right arm was immediately enveloped in demon runes.

With a swing of his arm, a dark and ferocious ancient demon claw burst forth, carrying a terrifying demonic intent as it collided with the Stone Ball.

Boom bang!

Demon Annihilation Claw struck the Stone Ball, snapping off one of its stone horns, with many pieces of broken rock peeling from its body.

Boom!

Chen Yu's True Yuan erupted within him, casting Demon Dragon Shadow Control, whipping up a fierce gale.

He swung his arms, pulverizing all three stout stone pillars, quickly approaching the Stone Ball.

Pop!

Chen Yu took a deep breath, charging his heart, amplifying his strength, and pounded a fist onto the Stone Ball, unleashing a terrible force.

Instantly, stone from the Stone Ball's surface fell away.

"I'm done for; this human is too strong, I'm going to die."

The Stone Ball cried out.

It never expected that, being from the Stone Clan, it would be killed by a human fist—one far more powerful than itself, a Stone Clan member of the same rank!

Subsequently, all the rocks from its body peeled away, leaving behind only a black, crystalline heart.

Every member of the Stone Clan bore within them a "Stone Crystal Heart," and this method also applied to the calculation of Slaughter Points.

"Brother, I'm dying too."

On the other side, another black Stone Ball was trapped and incessantly battered beneath the Red Flame King's foot, barely clinging to life.

Pop!

The Red Flame King's claw slammed down forcefully, the strength mixed with the power of flames smashing the dark sphere to reveal the "Stone Crystal Heart" inside.

"No..."

A mighty roar echoed from behind—it was Shi Mian's voice.

It turned out Shi Mian had already slain the man in the gray robe; remnants of red blood lingered at the corner of his mouth.

"Slaughter of the Stone Clan, you deserve to die!"

Shi Mian roared angrily, his face contorted with immense rage, emanating an oppressive force.

Shi Mian, a Half-step Sky Sea warrior, belonged to a relatively mighty branch of the Stone Face Clan, unlike the Little Stone Clan, which was just the most common of the Stone beings.

Boom!

Shi Mian charged above Chen Yu, descending from the sky as if to crush Chen Yu into a pulp. A loud "pop" resounded as Shi Mian landed, and a gust of dust-laden wind blasted outwards.

However, the expected scene did not happen.

Chen Yu, clad in demon armor and raising his arms, was astonishingly withstanding Shi Mian's weight, even slowly lifting it!

Having broken through to the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak, Chen Yu's physique had grown even more formidable, engaging in close combat with a Half-step Sky Sea being with sheer bodily might alone.

The Stone Clan was known for strength, but Chen Yu's current power matched theirs, and even slightly surpassed it.

Pop!

Chen Yu freed one hand and formed a fist, smashing it fiercely.

Immediately, fractures spread from the point of impact of Chen Yu's fist, with chunks of broken stone falling.

Then came the second punch, the third, the fourth—incessant strikes bombarded Shi Mian's colossal face, shattering stones falling one after another, prompting Shi Mian to cry out, "My face!"
