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

Chapter 646: Chapter 0641: Sweeping Through the Geniuses

At the summit of Sky-reaching Peak, many eyes were upon Chen Yu.

“This kid is a promising seedling!”

Elder Wei nodded approvingly.

“Old Man Wei, isn’t that stating the obvious? If this kid, with his Late Guiyuan Realm cultivation, can come this far, could he possibly be ordinary?”

An elderly man clad in black from Black Demon Valley teased.

“However, by the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to have reached his limit. I’m genuinely curious as to how far this youngster can go.”

A woman wearing a black veil commented.

Chen Yu scaled seventy steps in one go, which caught the attention of many elders from Black Demon Valley, but it wasn’t enough to make them consider taking him as a disciple.

First of all, they could see Chen Yu’s Spiritual Body talent wasn’t high—in fact, very low.

For such talent to have come this far, he must be incredibly fortunate and possess great opportunities.

But life can’t be left entirely to luck.

On another note, only a few talents who ventured into the inner valley, or those top existences among the outer valley, might be considered by an elder to become disciples.

The atmosphere among the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect grew a bit more somber.

“The kid is indeed not bad, but he’s too arrogant, flaunting his talents in front of the prodigies from the two great King clans—isn’t a wise choice.”

A long-bearded old man commented.

“Correct, my Cui Clan’s geniuses will not sit by and watch, they’ll certainly crush him underfoot.”

A beautiful lady in blue smiled elegantly, a powerhouse of the Cui Clan and also an elder of the Heavenly Jade Sect.

…

Below Sky-reaching Peak, many were still marveling that Chen Yu had reached the seventy steps.

Then, the prodigies from the two great King clans suddenly ceased their fighting, their gazes uniformly turning upwards.

“This is going to be interesting.”

“With this kid outshining them in front of the two King clans, how can the prodigies from those clans let it go? They will definitely crush him!”

“Aye, such is the sorrow of having no backing—if that boy had a stronger backing, no one would dare lay a finger on him!”

The discussions resumed, with many feeling sorry for Chen Yu.

What use is talent? In the face of powerful clans, one can only bow down and serve!

“Go!”

Cui Yan’er muttered under her breath, leaping up three steps in one go.

On the other side, You Lie was equally reluctant to show weakness, leading the geniuses of the You Clan upwards.

The You and Cui clansmen, all exceptionally talented and powerful, covered the distance swiftly, with many quickly surpassing fifty steps in their ascent.

The sight was truly spectacular!

Some geniuses from the two clans quickly stood out, advancing at the forefront of the large group.

“Chen Yu, how dare you stand above me, forcing me, You Lie, to look up to you?”

You Lie had reached the fifty-sixth step, his speed astonishing.

Chen Yu glanced back at You Lie, finding him rather odd.

“You don’t have to look at me!”

Chen Yu offhandedly said.

Upon hearing this, You Lie’s anger flared, and he quickened his pace, determined to leave Chen Yu behind today, making him gaze upon his back from afar, unable to get close.

“You’re quite good to have reached seventy steps, but you’ve hit your limit now, haven’t you?”

Cui Yan’er sneered.

Chen Yu didn’t bother to even listen to what Cui Yan’er said.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Cui Yan’er and You Lie were ascending step by step, surpassing sixty steps and getting closer to Chen Yu.

Before long, they reached the sixty-fifth step, and even You Lie and Cui Yan’er had to slow down.

They were both focused on overtaking Chen Yu, so neither made a move against each other.

However, those in the back from the two King clans, whose strengths were lesser, could no longer continue.

“Damn it, this is my limit, fifty-three steps!”

“If we can’t advance further, then we must support Sister Yan’er and Brother Ming!”

“Yes, let’s attack together and knock that kid down!”

Several promising youths from the Cui Clan joined forces, making a decision.

“Golden Killing Fist!”

A Late Guiyuan Realm individual from the Cui Clan channeled his True Yuan, fiercely unleashing a blinding golden light from his fist!

That golden light rocketed upwards, aiming for Chen Yu.

At the same time, several others also unleashed their attacks, with beams of swords and sabers streaking toward him.

However, Chen Yu had already reached the seventy-third step, and there was a huge gap of twenty steps between him and those on the fifty-third step.

As the attacks made their impact, they were weakened by the pressure of heaven and earth, and even their trajectories were altered.

Boom!

Chen Yu was surrounded by a series of explosive sounds, as a storm of Yuan energy ravaged all around.

After the smoke cleared, Chen Yu was unscathed.

Ever since his Body Refinement days, Chen Yu had never been hurt by an attack from a cultivator of the same level, and even if the cultivators from Great Yu Realm were a cut above those from Kunyun Realm, the result would not be different!

“How is this possible?”

One of the Cui Clan individuals attacking Chen Yu was stunned.

Even with some gap between them and Chen Yu, how could the barrage of attacks leave him completely unharmed?

The group was deeply demoralized!

“It seems that knocking down the people from Heavenly Jade Sect off the Heavenly Ascension Ladder amounts to contributing to the sect, perhaps later I can expect some rewards!”

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then sharply turned back and threw a punch.

He didn’t bother with the two great clans, but since these people had provoked him and even attacked him, he had no courtesy left to offer!

Bang!

His giant black fist stirred up black currents, exuding a domineering demonic aura as it crushed everything in its path downwards.

In that punch, Chen Yu used the power of the Demon Pattern, incorporating a trace of the true meaning of the Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist!

The geniuses, already at their limits, felt their legs tremble under that oppressive demonic might, struggling to stay steady.

In such a state, blocking Chen Yu’s fist became even more difficult.

Boom!

A fist exploded, and three figures were sent flying, crashing down the Heavenly Ascension Ladder!

This sight caused a wave of surprise among the many people below.

“Guest Elder Chen…”

Several members of the Yang Family revealed a look of terror.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to blast a member of the Cui Clan off the Heavenly Ascension Ladder,

not to mention the number of Cui Clan talents on the ladder!

“Injuring our Cui Clan’s people, brother, let’s blast this kid off the Heavenly Ascension Ladder!”

A thick-browed man declared.

“Hmph, let him understand the consequences of striking our Cui Clan’s people!”

Another tall, thick-browed man said.

After speaking, the two brothers initiated their attack on Chen Yu.

The rest of the Cui Clan, including Cui Ming, did not act for the time being.

They were all talents of the Cui Clan, and talents had their pride. Besides, countless people were watching below. It would be too shameful for the Cui Clan’s talents to beat up one person in a group. Even if they succeeded, there would be no sense of accomplishment, and it would even tarnish the name of a talent.

Buzz!

The two Cui Clan brothers, holding their treasured swords, burst out with astonishing golden Sword Intent.

The brothers simultaneously struck with their swords, two identical beams of sword light, carrying extremely sharp Sword Intent, shot out.

The two brothers’ cultivation was respectively in the Late Guiyuan Realm and the Peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm, and their attacks seemed to merge into one, doubling the might!

“Child’s play!”

Chen Yu let out a low shout, circulating Demon Pattern True Essence around his arm and smashed out with a punch.

Bang!

Chen Yu’s timing was precise, his punch hitting right upon the golden sword light, instantly shattering it.

At the same time, Chen Yu mobilized all his strength and True Yuan, aiming at the two brothers, and threw a fierce punch!

Boom!

The black iron fist, carrying a domineering demonic might, surged downward.

On the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, the brothers had no way to dodge Chen Yu’s attack and could only take it head-on!

Bang!

The younger brother was sent flying by Chen Yu’s punch, while the older brother stumbled back more than a dozen steps to the thirty-third step, his blood qi boiling inside him.

“Damn it, let’s go together!”

Two more talents, both at the Peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm, launched an attack on Chen Yu.

Two talents at the Peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm ganging up on Chen Yu, who was at the Late Guiyuan Realm, already seemed quite bullying.

Chen Yu circulated his True Yuan in conjunction with his body’s defensive power, and coupled with his High Grade Inner Armor, he still easily blocked the attacks of the two Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peaks.

Swoosh!

He drew out the Demon Flood Dragon Sword, and Chen Yu slashed fiercely with a black and violent beam of sword light.

“Block it!”

On the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, where there was no room to dodge, the two men could only defend!

These two Cui Clan talents were quite strong and successfully blocked Chen Yu’s sword.

Chen Yu then followed up with a second, third, and fourth sword striking swiftly.

Boom!

The two talents at the Peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm were likewise blasted off the Heavenly Ascension Ladder by Chen Yu.

“He’s too formidable, to have successively repelled seven or eight Cui Clan talents. What is the origin of this kid?”

“He is a Body Cultivator, which gives him a certain advantage on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder. Nevertheless, being able to do this is indeed admirable!”

Due to the oppressive might of heaven and earth on the Heavenly Ascension Ladder, everyone was greatly restricted, and it was nearly impossible to dodge attacks from one another.

Hence, they could only injure each other and fend off attacks!

Simply put, it was a matter of who could withstand the other’s attack to emerge as the victor!

When it came to defensive power, Chen Yu, as a Body Cultivator practicing the defensive-oriented Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record, naturally had the upper hand.

At this moment, Cui Ming had reached the sixty-ninth step, very close to Chen Yu.

Seeing his clan members being beaten back one after another by Chen Yu, Cui Ming felt humiliated and furious inside.

“Kid, your opponent is me!”

Cui Ming let out a low shout, deciding to take action himself.

The other Cui Clan members ready to strike immediately ceased.

Rashly intervening in Cui Ming’s fight, if they annoyed Cui Ming, they would end up being punished instead!

“Cui Ming has made his move!”

“Cui Ming is a Half-step Sky Sea Realm powerhouse, ranking second only to Cui Yan’er among the young generation of the Cui Clan!”

“Now, that kid is finished, the gap in cultivation is too vast!”

“Gold Shattering Claw!”

Cui Ming stretched out one hand, and five golden bone claws formed in the air, suddenly grabbing toward Chen Yu.

Demon Extermination Claw!

Chen Yu bravely confronted without fear, stimulating the first demon pattern, and swung his arm, casting out a black, ferocious, and primitive demonic claw!

Bang!

A black and a gold claw, both with tremendous power, collided, producing a loud bang!

A swirling vortex of black and gold storm spread in all directions!

Yet Chen Yu didn’t retreat half a step and still stood as firm as Mount Tai on the seventy-third step!

“This kid can actually take a hard hit from Cui Ming!”

Cui Yan’er was somewhat surprised, but she did not interfere in the fight between Cui Ming and Chen Yu.

In her view, Cui Ming was certain to win in the end!

Stamp!

Cui Yan’er stepped on the seventy-third step, level with Chen Yu.

You Lie did the same!

In this moment, Chen Yu, You Lie, and Cui Yan’er—all three—stood together on the seventy-third step.

But Cui Yan’er and You Lie felt as though they were still only the backdrop to Chen Yu!
