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

As Chen Yu stepped forward, the enormous palace doors suddenly swung open, and an ancient aura, accompanied by dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, rushed forth.

"Opened on its own?"

Chen Yu looked suspicious.

The journey here had been too smooth, with no dangers at all, and upon reaching this gigantic palace, it opened on its own.

This made Chen Yu suspect whether there was a trap inside.

Just then.

Rumble!

A loud noise came from behind Chen Yu.

Two figures, a man in black and a handsome young man, appeared, looking battered and were running frantically.

Along the way, they faced many perils and almost met their end in the Netherworld.

"Chen Yu!"

The black-clad elder and the handsome young man suddenly spotted Chen Yu from afar, their eyes went wide.

They noticed that Chen Yu appeared unscathed, with a relaxed and leisurely demeanor.

In a place where beasts were so ferocious, how come they didn't attack Chen Yu?

Even the black-clad elder at the Half-step Condensing Star Realm found it challenging, how could Chen Yu have arrived here unharmed?

They, on the other hand, were being relentlessly pursued by a horde of fierce beasts, in such a dire situation.

At that moment, they wished they had not encountered Chen Yu, thus sparing their predicament from being witnessed by an adversary.

"Hide in the palace!"

The black-clad elder shouted.

The palace looked extraordinary, surely the abode of whoever left this secret realm; no beast would dare to enter.

"Want to come in?"

Chen Yu grinned, and a black bone sword appeared in his hand, which he plunged into the earth with force.

"No, stop!"

"How dare you!"

Seeing Chen Yu's malicious grin, both of them shivered, sensing impending doom.

In the next moment, the ground ahead quaked violently, and grotesque black bone spikes shot up from the ground, rising continuously until they reached a height of two hundred feet, forming a wall that blocked the black-clad elder and the handsome young man outside.

"Damn it, break!"

The black-clad elder cursed, burning his Half-step Primordial Power and even summoned an Evil Corpse to attack together.

If Chen Yu stalled them for a moment, and the beasts caught up from behind, they would be doomed.

The handsome young man also went into a frenzy, summoning four Ghost Servants to attack.

Bang!

The bone spike wall was instantly breached by the two.

"Chen Yu, I'll not spare you,"

the black-clad elder scolded but had no time to deal with Chen Yu as he prepared to hide in the palace.

But suddenly, he realized something was amiss.

The horde of beasts behind them retreated as they approached the palace.

The black-clad elder and the handsome young man exchanged awkward glances.

Even if Chen Yu had stopped them, it wouldn't have mattered; they had panicked and hadn't noticed that the beasts retreated upon nearing the palace.

"Chen Yu, I will tear you apart!"

The black-clad elder's face flushed red, his eyes glinting maliciously as he glared at Chen Yu.

Whoosh!

However, Chen Yu had already noticed the beasts retreating, and promptly entered the palace.

He felt puzzled and very strange.

He had always felt that the beasts here were very tame and friendly.

But the scene just now showed that the beasts here were not to be trifled with.

Yet, they seemed to change their tune upon seeing him and retreated.

Inside the palace.

Chen Yu felt as though he had entered another space, floating amidst rolling blue clouds, with a hazy expanse ahead.

Beneath his feet lay a stone path extending far into the distance.

At the same time, two figures appeared not far to his left, the black-clad elder and the handsome young man.

In front of them, a stone path slowly formed as well.

"This is a test, which means that this is a legacy left by a great master, and whoever passes the test first will inherit everything."

The black-clad elder's eyes shone brightly with excitement.

In his view, among the three here, he would certainly be the first to pass the test.

In terms of cultivation and strength, or experience and foundation, he far surpassed Chen Yu and the handsome young man.

The black-clad elder immediately set off, stepping onto the stone path and walking slowly.

On the stone path, flying was prohibited.

Initially,

there were no anomalies, but after the black-clad elder walked ten steps, a white pillar of light suddenly shot down from the sky.

Whoosh!

The black-clad elder leaped forward, narrowly avoiding the white light's blast.

"Just as I expected, it's a test,"

the black-clad elder smirked and continued to walk.

Along the way, pillars of light sporadically descended from the sky, and the stone path occasionally spewed intense flames, but the black-clad elder dodged them all with ease.

He proceeded with a faint smile, seemingly already triumphant.

Chen Yu and the handsome young man set off as well.

Their situations were identical to that of the black-clad elder, with unforeseen dangers cropping up on the path ahead.

However, the handsome young man realized that the challenges presented were based on their cultivation levels.

This realization gave him confidence that he might indeed compete with the others.

At the same time,

in the palace depths, a silhouette bathed in green light waved a hand, causing a green-patterned light screen to appear in front of it. Ripples spread across it, and a scene slowly emerged.

"He's finally here."

The green light figure's eyes settled on Chen Yu, a pleased smile appearing on its face.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the green light figure bore a certain resemblance to Chen Yu.

"Logically, he should have arrived here without hindrance; why has the test been initiated?"

"Perhaps the mechanism of the Array has malfunctioned over time. In that case, let me clear the obstacles for you."

The figure, shrouded in blue light, muttered to itself, eyes fixed on Chen Yu, completely ignoring the elderly man in black and the handsome young man.

Suddenly, on the stone path Chen Yu was walking, a gap appeared, followed by a burst of flame erupting forth.

However, the blue-lit figure's eyes flashed, and it pointed a finger.

The flames seemed to be forcibly extinguished and never erupted.

Chen Yu, walking along the stone path and seeing the genuine fire about to erupt below, didn't pay much mind to it.

Given his level of physical prowess, the flames couldn't possibly harm him.

Yet, the flames never spewed out.

"Did the flames go out?"

Chen Yu found it odd, but didn't pay much attention and continued forward.

At a certain moment, a radiant white beam burst from the sky, aiming directly at Chen Yu.

But suddenly.

Bang!

The newly formed white column scattered, transforming into points of starlight and vanishing.

"What's going on now?"

Chen Yu was bewildered for a moment.

Could it be that the stone path he was on had some kind of malfunction?

This luck was unbelievably good.

So, Chen Yu sped up, breaking into a run.

Elsewhere, the elderly man in black walked with his head held high, confidently navigating through numerous crises, a look of smug satisfaction on his face.

"Hehe, speaking of power foundation, experience, and knowledge, where do these two youngsters even compare to me? I don't know how far behind they've fallen."

The elderly man glanced back.

The handsome young man was still fifty zhang away from him.

In this kind of trial, a distance of fifty zhang was already significant.

Then, he glanced at Chen Yu.

"What?"

His eyes nearly popped out, an expression of utter shock.

Chen Yu was running effortlessly on the stone path, encountering no danger at all.

No, it wasn't that he wasn't encountering danger; rather, any danger that appeared dissipated instantly.

"Hehe."

Chen Yu grinned at the sight of the elderly man, overtaking him.

Only then did the elderly man snap back to reality, jumping up and cursing, "You little rascal, you... what trick did you use?"

"This isn't fair!"

The elderly man felt both angry and wronged, shouting.

"You're cheating!"

On the other side, the handsome young man also noticed Chen Yu's situation and shouted accusations.

The two had been struggling through the test, while Chen Yu seemed to progress effortlessly.

"Not my fault."

Chen Yu shrugged and moved forward swiftly.

In truth, he was quite amazed himself; this path had been exceptionally smooth so far, without any real threat.

"You, brat, stop there. I want a fair competition!"

"Cheating, this is unfair!"

Two members of the Yin Clan continued to shout curses.

At that moment.

The powerful members of the Blood Race also appeared, gradually catching up.

The difficulty of the stone path increasingly intensified.

"The Yin Clan people arrived before us."

"Hurry up, overtake the Yin Clan."

The Blood Race held grudges against the elderly man in black and communicated among themselves.

Though they arrived late, being of the Blood Race, they surpassed ordinary cultivators in every regard and were confident they could overtake the Yin Clan.

"Hehe, old chap, this inheritance is mine."

A middle-aged man in a blue robe from the Blood Race approached the elderly man, sneering coldly.

Seeing the elderly man in such a state of despair, the blue-robed man believed it was all due to his arrival, filled with satisfaction.

"What are you so happy about? That brat cheated and ran ahead long ago."

The elderly man scoffed disdainfully, feeling somewhat indignant.

"What did you say?"

The blue-robed man wore a look of suspicion, not quite grasping what the other was saying.

The Blood Race were latecomers, and the thick blue mist ahead blocked their view, so they hadn't seen Chen Yu yet.

Traveling unimpeded, Chen Yu found it rather boring, even feeling that this was indeed a bit... unfair.

"If that's the case, I guess I'll wait for them."

With a mischievous grin, Chen Yu stopped in his tracks.

In fact, he just wanted to unsettle the Yin Clan and Blood Race members as revenge for their previous pursuit.

After a while.

The members of the Yin Clan and Blood Race finally appeared.

"You took too long. I've been waiting till I almost fell asleep,"

Chen Yu said with a playful smile.

"You rascal..."

The elderly man in black and the handsome young man cursed angrily.

The members of the Blood Race still didn't understand what was happening, speculating that Chen Yu might be the first to arrive there.

"Arrogant, I'll surpass you soon enough."

The blue-robed middle-aged man sneered dismissively, confident.

But soon they all understood, one by one stunned into silence, watching as Chen Yu proceeded unharmed.

"This isn't fair!"

The blue-robed middle-aged man was enraged, shouting loudly.
