Although Chen Yu and Zhu Lingyu managed to escape temporarily, the Young Master and the man in black continued their pursuit.
The speed of the man in black alone was not inferior to Zhu Lingyu, while the Young Master gave Chen Yu the feeling that he hadn’t exerted his full strength.
The God Demon Descendant race truly was a terrifying enemy.
"We’re doomed, Chen Yu, are we going to die?"
Zhu Lingyu spoke despondently.
"So long has passed, have no other strong members of the Demon Race come to discover the secret here? Or perhaps we were too greedy and should have hidden in a secluded place from the beginning, waiting for rescue from the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest."
Facing a desperate situation, Zhu Lingyu talked more, seemingly worried that if he died, he wouldn’t get another chance to speak.
"There’s a building ahead!"
Chen Yu suddenly spoke up.
Zhu Lingyu scanned with his Spiritual Sense and found a palace complex at the top of a giant mountain ahead, surrounded by a barrier.During their journey, it was the first time they had seen a building, which indicated that this place was far from ordinary.
Chen Yu’s mysterious heart also sensed extremely powerful and terrifying energy fluctuations within the building.
"Your time has come."
A cold and domineering voice from the Young Master sounded from behind.
The place ahead was once the training abode of the Demon Lord, and these lowly races must not be allowed to taint it.
Whoosh!
The Young Master’s speed suddenly increased, and as he passed by, a fierce, dark whirlwind tore everything nearby apart.
Sssh!
He clawed into the void, creating five dark black streaks of light descending from the sky with boundless power.
At this moment, the Young Master was exerting his full strength, holding nothing back, as demonic power surged with every movement, destroying everything.
Chen Yu and Zhu Lingyu felt an intense crisis, their hairs standing on end.
Without any hesitation, the two joined forces to resist the Young Master’s strike.
Fragmenting Star Claw!
Chen Yu activated the White Tiger Sacred Claw, tearing a chaotic and violent golden-white trail of light, blasting out like explosive thunder.
Zhu Lingyu transformed into his true form, spewing a small scarlet sword from his mouth that emitted blazing flames, shooting into the sky.
Bang!
The three attacks collided in an instant, and in the next moment, the duo’s joint effort was shattered by the Young Master.
The small scarlet sword was blasted a thousand feet away.
"Earlier, I was just toying with you, and you foolishly thought you could escape my grasp?"
The Young Master’s face was cold and majestic, filled with killing intent.
"Young Master, ahead is the Demon Lord’s abode, let’s kill these two pests."
The man in black flew over, smiling as he spoke.
"Hmm."
The Young Master nodded, his unicorn horn flashing with dark light, causing the sky to change with clouds swirling around him.
A terrifying demonic force shook the heavens and intimidated all things!
"This is the innate divine ability of the ’Black Demon Clan,’ capable of unleashing formidable soul attacks."
Zhu Lingyu’s face turned as pale as paper.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Young Master’s attack descended.
Boom!
From his unicorn horn, a jet-black light beam burst forth, carrying an overwhelming earth-shattering force, piercing forth.
The soul attack was too swift, and Chen Yu and Zhu Lingyu could barely evade it. Fortunately, they had mentally prepared and were in a defensive stance.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two figures quickly retreated, falling downward.
Chen Yu’s mind was in turmoil, as if plunged into a pitch-black hell, unable to see or perceive anything.
The soul attack by a Five-star King was indeed terrifying, even a soul level at the Peak of Star Condensation like Chen Yu’s was severely damaged. Had he known earlier, he would have used the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Crown was a powerful trump card but had obvious drawbacks; unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t use it lightly.
"Die!"
The man in black’s excited and sinister laugh came as he wielded a dark scythe, aiming to cut off Zhu Lingyu and Chen Yu’s heads.
"Spare this one; I have some interest in him."
The Young Master suddenly transmitted a message.
It was precisely because he didn’t want to kill Chen Yu that he hadn’t exerted his full power earlier.
The man in black dared not disobey the Young Master’s wishes, promptly withdrawing some power and slightly shifting the attack range.
Sssh!
A deep wound, so deep the bone was visible, was cut into Chen Yu’s body.
Meanwhile, Zhu Lingyu was left in a worse state, with five or six wounds on his Vermilion Bird form, and one wing severed, spraying blood.
The Young Master’s soul attack, combined with the man in black’s ambush, severely injured Zhu Lingyu, causing him to fall to the ground, struggling briefly before passing out.
Chen Yu’s injuries were relatively light, and he quickly regained full consciousness.
A medium-level immortal body allowed his wounded areas to heal rapidly from inside out.
"An immortal body, how interesting."
The Young Master observed this scene, his eyes flickering with dark light.
An immortal body was extremely powerful among the various unique physiques.
Among the many innate divine abilities of the God Demon Descendant race, possessing an immortal body was very rare, yet this human before him also possessed one.
The man in black was also surprised; under such circumstances, Chen Yu seemed largely unharmed. It seemed that in a one-on-one fight, he didn’t have the ability to kill Chen Yu.
"What if it’s an immortal body? It’s not true immortality."
The man in black snorted coldly, his words tinged with jealousy.
Zoom!
He flew out, taking the opportunity while Chen Yu’s injuries hadn’t completely healed, to attack again.
"Cheap trickster, don’t push your luck too far!"
Chen Yu’s expression darkened, revealing a hint of fierceness.
"So what if I am pushing too far? As the weak, you have no outcome but to be humiliated!"
The man in black sneered, wielding the black scythe.
Knowing Chen Yu had an immortal body, he had no reservations, attacking with full force.
Sssh sssh sssh!
Three large, dark trails of light sliced through the void, slashing down.
The ’Black Demon Clan’ possessed enormous power, mastering both Darkness Essence and Demon Essence, with savage and powerful attacks.
Before, the Heavenly Spirit Crane Clan believed a Late Stage Star Condensation elder was turned to pulp under precisely this man’s attack.
And now, faced with this strike, Chen Yu surprisingly did not retaliate.
"Does he acknowledge his impotence and submit obediently?" The man in black mused to himself.
But the next moment, a glint of gold appeared on Chen Yu’s palm, transforming into a golden crown that flew onto Chen Yu’s head.
The moment he donned the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown], his skin turned a pale gold, dragon scales emerged, and soon his eyes and hair gradually changed color.
Dragon shadows encircled him, exuding an imposing dragon might, like the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons!
The man in black approaching head-on was struck to the core by Chen Yu’s aura, his body shivered, and even his speed slowed.
At that moment, the attack of the man in black descended.
Clang clang boom!
Chen Yu extended his arm, shimmering with dragon scales, as the fierce sharp attack struck down, not even leaving a scratch, merely shattering.
"Little Four, retreat quickly!"
The Young Master, standing with arms folded across his chest in the distance, had a sudden change in expression and barked an order.
"Run!"
The man in black was so startled by the sudden change that he ran off in fear.
"What’s going on with this kid? Is that Dragon Crown a powerful magical artifact? It increased his power dramatically?"
Countless doubts erupted in his panicked mind.
"You... are... too... slow!"
A cold voice echoed.
Chen Yu somehow appeared behind the man in black, merely five hundred zhang between them.
Five hundred zhang is practically negligible for a Condensed Star King.
Chen Yu struck out with a claw, in his dragon-human form, his hands were massive White Tiger Sacred Claws, with Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings on his back, which looked somewhat strange.
But no one paid any attention to those.
Swish thud!
The void erupted in brilliant golden light, with a sharp, unparalleled golden streak piercing the man in black’s body.
"No..."
The man in black screamed with wide eyes.
He watched as his wings shattered, his body broke apart, the cracks spreading up to his head.
Bang!
The man in black’s body exploded into chunks of flesh and blood scattered around.
After wielding the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown]’s power, Chen Yu gained an all-encompassing boost, elevating his strength by a tier.
Particularly since his own strength was formidable, the boost took it to horrific levels.
Therefore, the White Tiger Sacred Claw’s strike instantly killed the man in black!
"You dare kill my subordinate!"
The Young Master’s cold, furious voice echoed.
"Very well, the secrets on you are more than I thought. This Dragon Crown trophy is one the Young Master quite appreciates as well."
The Young Master, brimming with murderous intent, flapped his wings and shot over like a black comet.
After revealing his trump card, Chen Yu’s fighting spirit was instead stimulated, and the death of the man in black made him utterly enraged.
Boom whoosh!
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings on Chen Yu’s back unfurled.
Covered in dragon scales, with fiery wings behind and tiger claws as hands, the violent pressure on Chen Yu kept increasing, surpassing even the Young Master’s looming aura.
"Kill!"
He charged forth to kill as well.
Though the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] could instantly ensure Chen Yu’s strength, its drawback was obvious; it consumed too much, not just placing a physical burden, but also draining energy and soul willpower.
Chen Yu estimated he could hold out for at most twenty breaths.
So, within twenty breaths, a victor must be decided!
Boom!
Roar exploded from the void as Chen Yu clashed head-on with the Young Master, creating a storm that swept thousands of zhang and shattered the ground below.
Chen Yu was forced back, with shallow bloodstains across his arm and body.
The [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] amplified not only strength but also defense.
On the other side, the Young Master was blasted back a hundred zhang, with over a dozen wounds all over his body, his internal energy boiling, and his bones seemingly about to shatter.
"This treasure actually heightened his power to such an extent?"
The Young Master was shocked.
Despite his full strength, he found himself on the back foot.
In fact, it was Chen Yu’s innate strength and defense that was astounding, and the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] primarily enhanced these aspects.
"Kill!"
Chen Yu, with limited time, launched an active attack.
"Human, you’ve angered the Young Master, for your sins, you deserve a thousand deaths!"
The Young Master, with a grimace, unleashed a more tumultuous power, holding a massive cross soaked in blood, which he swung at Chen Yu.
This blood-soaked metal cross, of top-grade quality, greatly enhanced the Young Master’s attack.
Although Chen Yu wielded no weapons, he was currently armored as if forged from Divine Gold, incredibly sturdy, his entire being was a weapon.
With phenomenal defensive power and an indestructible physique, Chen Yu almost ignored damage, attacking fiercely.
In under ten breaths, the two exchanged blows hundreds of times.
Bam!
The Young Master was sent flying by one of Chen Yu’s claws, his chest ripped open, exposing bones and organs inside.
Looking utterly disheveled, he was enraged beyond sanity, yet too ashamed to throw a fit.
"Kill!"
Chen Yu, brimming with killing intent, charged forth again.
The Young Master’s eyes flickered with panic and fear.
Despite unleashing all his capabilities, he couldn’t handle Chen Yu, who seemed like an impenetrable fortification, with shocking defense, covered all over in sword-like blades, extremely dangerous.
Chen Yu also sustained several injuries, though for him they were merely superficial.
"Die!"
The Young Master’s black horns shimmered with demonic light, his fearsome demonic might surging.
Boom!
A dark, massive pillar of light erupted instantly, piercing through Chen Yu.
Yet Chen Yu seemed barely affected, his soul willpower also boosted, with surrounding dragon shadows helping to negate part of the soul damage.
"This..."
The Young Master was utterly speechless, how could he, the revered Young Master of the Black Demon Clan, have no solution for a mere human at the Late Stage Star Condensation.
Swish boom!
Chen Yu’s attack suddenly arrived, the sharp, violent golden streaks struck the Young Master, tearing open his yet to heal abdominal wound, crushing his innards.
The Young Master was once more sent flying a thousand zhang, crashing into the mountains.
Bang!
The mountain exploded again, as the Young Master fled in disgrace.
After this human suddenly erupted, he was utterly overpowering; at this moment, the Young Master couldn’t care about saving face, his life was at stake.
