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

Chapter 495: Chapter 0490: Treasure Hall

The strength demonstrated by the man in the conical hat made everyone present pay him more serious attention.

The elder sister among the twins was also at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak and skilled in swordsmanship, but her strength was inferior to the man in the conical hat.

“An Evil Ghost of Guiyuan Realm level is coming.”

Wan Baoguang cautioned with a remark.

Just then, three larger-than-average Evil Ghosts appeared on the staircase, situated in a fog of Yin Sha Qi, bringing a group of evil spirits as they swooped down.

The Evil Ghosts at the Guiyuan Realm level were even more powerful in such a place.

One of them lunged at the most conspicuous Wan Baoguang.

The second attacked the twin sisters.

The third headed straight for Chen Yu.

“Hehe, this kid is probably doomed.”

The twin sisters glanced at Chen Yu, their lips curling into a cold smirk.

This type of evil spirit was known to be a nemesis to Body Cultivators.

They had stronger immunity to physical attacks and their spiritual attacks were mysterious and eerie, what chance did ordinary Body Cultivators stand against these ghosts?

“This guy, he’s targeting me.”

Chen Yu looked towards the Evil Ghost, dressed in grey-black robes, its two soul-hooking claws stretched out straight, and its head missing a small portion, bloodied all over.

Moreover, this Guiyuan Realm Evil Ghost was accompanied by some top Qi Transformation Level ghosts.

Without revealing his strength, Chen Yu found it difficult to cope, thus deciding to just defend vigorously.

They were a team, the other members would not abandon Chen Yu, once they defeated their enemies, they would have to come aid Chen Yu.

With this plan in mind, Chen Yu slowly manoeuvered around the group of Evil Ghosts, not making any offensive moves.

Boom! Boom!

Chen Yu wielded the Giant Ruler Sword, repelling some ghosts, while reducing the impact of their attacks.

Even if some spiritual attacks hit Chen Yu, with his Mid-stage Guiyuan Realm spiritual power, he was completely unaffected.

“I forgot, this kid mentioned he had consumed a soul-enhancing treasure, his soul is quite strong, ordinary soul attacks can’t hurt him.”

The enchantingly beautiful elder sister among the twins, watching Chen Yu’s battle, just remembered this.

“The Guiyuan Realm level Evil Ghost is showing its power.”

The sister’s voice, slightly stiff and cold, chimed in.

Howl!

The Guiyuan Realm Evil Ghost roared, spewing a black ghost fog from its mouth, which twisted and turned, forming a Ghost Face that opened its mouth wide and charged towards Chen Yu.

As the powerful spiritual attack neared, the Jade Pendant on Chen Yu’s body released a layer of pristine white halo which enveloped his consciousness, giving Chen Yu a sense of warm comfort.

When the attack from the Evil Ghost arrived, penetrating the white halo, its strength was reduced by thirty to forty percent.

The remaining spiritual attack rushed into Chen Yu’s mind.

Chen Yu steadied his mind, fully defended, and blocked the attack.

“This person actually possesses a spiritual defense treasure.”

The twin sisters felt somewhat envious and covetous.

Chen Yu had not only consumed a soul-enhancing treasure but also possessed such defense items; he must have encountered significant opportunities.

Bang Peng!

When the Evil Ghost’s spiritual attack failed to harm Chen Yu, it swung its claws, tearing out a dark light mark.

Chen Yu swung the Giant Ruler Sword, reducing the impact of the attack, with the remnants being successfully blocked.

Other side, the man in the conical hat was wiping out one ghost after another with ease using his ancient cyan sword.

“Your swordsmanship is astonishing, I am truly impressed!”

Chen Yu hooked up a mischievous smile and flew over to him.

“Hmm?”

The man in the conical hat glanced at Chen Yu, seeing that he had brought a group of evil spirits with him.

“I too wield a sword, but my swordsmanship is far inferior to yours, I’m here to learn.”

Chen Yu said with a smile.

Seeing Chen Yu leading the evil spirits to the man in the conical hat, the twin sisters inwardly cursed Chen Yu for his shamelessness.

“Hehe.”

The man in the conical hat gave a faint smile, his emotions unreadable.

He didn’t bother too much, just continued to eliminate the evil spirits around him, although some of them had been brought over by Chen Yu.

The Guiyuan Realm Evil Ghost, not particularly intelligent, attacked randomly.

With the man in the conical hat sharing the burden, Chen Yu was much more relaxed.

Meanwhile, he was surprised that the man in the conical hat hadn’t said anything or blamed Chen Yu.

“Everyone, stop holding back, we better explore the relics and leave early to prevent any mishaps.”

Wan Baoguang whispered at the front.

Immediately, he released a strange sound wave from his mouth, enveloping an Evil Ghost in front of him, causing its body to halt and tremble slightly as it howled.

Seizing this opportunity, Wan Baoguang and a short man launched an attack, significantly stronger than before.

On another side, the twin sisters unleashed a powerful Water and Fire Sword Intent, merging it into their sword moves.

Sword Intent could attack on a spiritual level, and with their coordinated efforts, their combat strength increased, forcing the Guiyuan Realm Evil Ghost to continually retreat while shrieking.

Like the man in the conical hat and the two sisters, they released Sword Intent to amplify their attacks, affecting the spiritual level.

Amidst these people, Chen Yu occasionally struck with his fists.

At one point, Chen blasted the staircase beneath his feet, revealing some black jade stones.

“Yin Cold Stone.”

Wan Baoguang glanced around and then said, “No wonder all these evil ghosts are lingering on this staircase. It’s for this reason.”

The Yin Cold Stone, for those in the Guiyuan Realm, wasn’t considered a precious item.

But if such large quantities of this type of jade were beneath this lengthy staircase, their total value would still be extremely expensive. However, everyone’s storage space was limited, and it was impossible to move all these items.

“Die!”

The twin sisters attacked swiftly; their Fire Sword and Water Sword dazzled onlookers, severely wounding the Guiyuan Realm ghost. They seized the opportunity to unleash a killing technique, and a colossal Water and Fire Sword burst forth from their swords.

Boom!

The ghost was blasted away by the sister’s sword light, slowly dissipating amidst the intertwining of water and fire.

Next, Wan Baoguang and a short man dealt with the Guiyuan Realm ghost.

Wan Baoguang, already extremely strong, with the additional support of his companion who could launch spiritual attacks, handled it well.

The one who finally killed the ghost was the man in the conical hat. He didn’t use much strength but relied on sophisticated swordsmanship to suppress and gradually grind the Guiyuan Realm ghost to death.

After the three Guiyuan Realm-level ghosts were slain, the journey ahead seemed somewhat easier.

The group continued to cut down any ghosts along their way until the back of the staircase, where they encountered another Guiyuan Realm ghost, which they destroyed together.

After passing through this staircase level, they encountered a collection of ruined and relatively well-preserved debris.

Here, many skeletons could still be discerned, including several abnormally large ones, not resembling human remains.

“There are so many foreign race corpses here.”

Wan Baoguang felt somewhat surprised.

Moreover, apart from the corpses, this place also housed quite a few evil ghosts, not as many as above the staircase but with a higher proportion in the Guiyuan Realm.

“Wan Baoguang, so far, we’ve only seen some Yin Cold Stones, no other treasures.”

The twin sisters, spotting this batch of stronger evil ghosts, questioned him at the same time.

“This is a ruin, not a heritage site. Who can be sure what treasures might be here, or if it’s completely empty before we finish exploring?”

Wan Baoguang shrugged his shoulders in an innocent manner.

“Let’s explore a bit more. If there’s still nothing, we’ll retreat.”

The short man accompanying Wan Baoguang said.

This ruin was definitely related to the Yinluo Sect, but if the people from the Yinluo Sect had scavenged everything before leaving, it might really be empty.

But referential books accounted that many treasures were found in some ruins, so the people could only hope that their luck was good.

Thus, they began to fight against the ghosts again.

This time, perhaps because everyone was slightly anxious, they displayed more powerful combat abilities than before. Soon, all the ghosts blocking their way were killed.

After passing through this area, a grand hall with dark golden walls appeared before them, catching everyone’s eyes.

The buildings they had passed before were all in ruins, but this dark golden hall, though somewhat dilapidated, was still entirely intact.

This suggested that the building might have been sturdier, or supported by an array, and so on.

Then, there must be something important inside.

Years of treasure hunting told Wan Baoguang that it might be time to reap the rewards.

After checking and finding no issues, they only discovered some fragile and broken seals on the main door.

“Hold on a moment!”

Being an expert, Wan Baoguang had some knowledge about arrays and seals.

This place, being ancient, had very weak seals, and he solved them after a while.

“Open!”

Wan Baoguang struck the center of the temple doors with a palm from afar.

The powerful force caused the doors to open.

Boom!

A translucent and white glow, along with a rich surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, poured out from the entrance.

Initially, the dense Yin Sha Qi inside the ruin made it eerily gloomy and uncomfortable.

At that moment, with the massive wash of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.

They widened their eyes as a pile of Primordial Stones, resembling a small mountain at the center of the great hall, attracted everyone’s attention.

“So many… Primordial Stones!”

The short middle-aged man revealed a look of surprise, “At least a million…”

Being only at the Early Guiyuan Realm and a Loose Cultivator, even when he had the most Primordial Stones, it never exceeded one hundred thousand.

And there in the hall, the mound-like pile of Primordial Stones was estimated to be at least over a million…

And that wasn’t all, next to the pile of Primordial Stones, there were also numerous other precious ores and gems, colorful and dazzling, making hearts race with no chance for careful identification.

“There might be the ore I need. It seems it was worth coming here.”

Chen Yu smiled.

Moreover, tirelessly secluding oneself for cultivation wasn’t the answer; occasional combat and exploring ruins could also broaden one’s horizons.

“It seems there are also Grade Essence Stones here, definitely worth the trip.”

The man in the conical hat also smiled.

“A Grade Essence Stone is equivalent to a hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones. It seems there might be more Primordial Stones here than we initially saw.”

The colder sister among the twins revealed a smile.

“Let’s go!”

The twin sisters took the lead and stepped forward.

Wan Baoguang’s expression shifted slightly as if he was about to stop the sisters, but in the end, he did nothing and followed them into the hall.

When the twin sisters entered the hall and seemed to notice something, they suddenly lifted their heads, then their expressions changed into sheer terror.

Sssss—

The hall, which had been quiet, might have been disturbed by the entrance of the sisters, for from the top came a series of tiny, intense sounds.

Suddenly, hundreds of silver-black insects flew down, opening their densely fanged mouths, and all rushed towards the twin sisters.
