How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 479 - 0474: Using Oneself as Bait
"Late... Late Guiyuan Realm!"
The Absolute Yin Ancestor’s dim eyes widened as he swallowed his saliva, his body chilling to the bone.
The reactions of the others present were no better than his.
"How could the Snow Mountain Tribe have a Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator?"
Gongyang Mountain felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, his body swaying slightly.
In the eyes of someone from the Late Guiyuan Realm, an ordinary Guiyuan cultivator could be crushed effortlessly, and he, a proud Guiyuan cultivator, could hardly guarantee his own life.
"Damn it, if they had someone from the Late Guiyuan Realm, why did they only bring him out now?"
Lv Tiezu ground his teeth, feeling incredibly insignificant and unable to stand against a Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator.
With the appearance of the Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator, did they have any chance of winning this battle?
Many had already shown signs of despair.
Boom!
Tie Yuanshan extended his withered arm and, with a fierce swipe, his profound and immense True Yuan coalesced into a pitch-black Iron Claw, pressing down towards the Bone Demon Array.
Peng!
The ground trembled, dust exploded, and the Bone Demon Array shook violently. The places where the five iron fingers pressed down showed numerous tiny cracks.
Even from behind the Array, everyone could still feel the power of the Iron Claw overhead, as if it could crush everything.
"He’s too strong, having a Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator in command, plus so many Guiyuan cultivators, means this Array won’t hold out much longer."
"What should we do, the enemy is too powerful."
Inside the Bone Demon Array, voices of panic and fear continued to rise.
Mentally, Chu Country had been completely overwhelmed by the Snow Mountain Tribe.
"Don’t be too pessimistic, everyone. Things aren’t as bad as we think. Defend with all your might, and there is still a glimmer of hope."
Chen Yu suddenly spoke.
His influence had surpassed that of the Absolute Yin Ancestor in Chu Country.
Countless times, in situations of crisis, Chen Yu had turned the tide of defeat into victory. Numerous seemingly impossible tasks had been successfully completed by Chen Yu.
Now that Chen Yu said there was hope, a flicker of hope truly emerged in their hearts.
"Sigh... Let’s pull ourselves together."
The Absolute Yin Ancestor took a deep look at Chen Yu. The other’s influence was unimaginably great; all he could do was follow up with a word after Chen Yu.
"The Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator from the Snow Mountain Tribe is new, and his breakthrough method was quite violent, making his cultivation unstable. He’s weaker than those who break through to the Late Guiyuan Realm normally. Moreover, this person’s lifespan is nearing its end. I’m afraid that after this battle, his time will come."
Chen Yu continued.
In fact, all this was told to Chen Yu by the Red Flame King.
But the same words meant different effects when said by different people.
When Chen Yu said it, it had the greatest effect.
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the hope in the hearts of the Chu Country cultivators increased.
"That’s right, this person’s body is full of the aura of death. He won’t live much longer."
The Absolute Yin Ancestor agreed.
He had overlooked this point due to panic earlier but now felt somewhat ashamed after Chen Yu pointed it out.
"This young man is indeed extraordinary."
Tie Yuanshan had also heard those words and his respect for Chen Yu grew. However, the more he respected Chen Yu, the more he wanted to kill him.
"Break the Array!"
Tie Yuanshan suddenly shouted, feeling underestimated by Chen Yu, wanting to show him a thing or two.
At this moment, not only did Tie Yuanshan make his move, but all the other powerful adversaries also launched their attacks.
Rumble!
A sky full of attacks almost covered the heavens, descending upon them. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Activate the Array with full force!"
Palace Master Fu shouted.
The Array Masters inside the Bone Demon Palace immediately controlled the Array, drawing the power from the underground Yuan Stone Veins, making the Array even more solidified, mending some of the cracks.
"Hehe, activate the Purgatory Array!"
Red Flame King chuckled softly.
Suddenly, the great Engraving Array outside the Bone Demon Array, which was overshadowed before, lit up abruptly, releasing endless blazing flames that circled around the entire Bone Demon Palace.
Roar!
Flames soared, reaching straight for the heavens.
"What is this?"
"Quick, dodge!"
A Guiyuan cultivator from the Snow Mountain Tribe shouted, retreating quickly.
However, many Qi Transformation Realm cultivators were melted into ash by the flames in an instant as the Purgatory Array was activated.
"Is this, inscription techniques?"
The War Alliance Clan Leader’s eyes gleamed.
"This inscription technique is extraordinary. Even a Peak Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm cultivator must avoid it. Does Chu Country have such a powerful expert?"
Tie Yuanshan’s gaze sharpened, closely observing the Chu Country cultivators within the Array, becoming more cautious.
Similarly, the cultivators of Chu Country were also stunned.
They did not expect that a casual drawing by Red Flame King would unleash such formidable power during the great battle.
"Hehe, I have reached the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, and setting up an Engraving Array of this level is a breeze. Give me a few months, and I can create Engraving Arrays that even Sky Sea Realm cultivators would have to avoid."
Red Flame King said with a laugh.
This time Red Flame King boasted, and Chen Yu did not interrupt him. After all, Red Flame King’s methods had indeed played a significant role.
Roar!
The surroundings of the Bone Demon Palace were engulfed in flames, with fire rising to the sky as anyone approached.
"Damn it, this flame can almost severely injure ordinary Guiyuan cultivators."
A normal Guiyuan cultivator just flew past and immediately retreated, narrowly escaping being scorched by the flames.
"An inscription technique is not an Array; it will cease to function once its energy is depleted. They’re just buying time."
Tie Yuanshan immediately shouted, stepping past the Purgatory Array to attack the Bone Demon Array.
"Attack!"
Three Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm experts also deployed their defenses, resisting the burning of the Purgatory Array and attacking the Bone Demon Array.
Other cultivators at the Guiyuan Realm tried to evade the attacks of the Purgatory Array, aiming to break the Bone Demon Array as quickly as possible.
However, after three rounds of attacks, most cultivators at the Early Guiyuan Realm were pushed back by the Purgatory Array; one of them failed to dodge in time and got burned to death by the fierce flames.
"Besides that Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator, most tribesmen seem to be injured, their strength a few notches lower than before," said Master Fu after observing for a while.
"In order to forge a Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator, they’ve also paid a significant price," Chen Yu remarked.
In addition, the tribe had launched an attack on Chu Country without treating their wounds to prevent any leaks.
With the continuous attacks from the enemy, the Bone Demon Array grew weaker and weaker, its repair speed unable to keep up with the rate of destruction.
At the same time, the power of the Purgatory Array was rapidly waning, and its influence on Guiyuan Realm cultivators was gradually decreasing; those in the Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm could now easily withstand the Purgatory Array without any pressure.
An hour later, most of the Yuan Stone Vein beneath the Bone Demon Palace had been depleted. The Bone Demon Array was in a state of disrepair, and the Purgatory Array had completely vanished.
"Reinforcements have not arrived; I’m afraid the array might be breached," said Master Fu, her complexion darkening.
"Once the Bone Demon Array shatters, we’ll likely be unable to oppose the power of a Late Guiyuan Realm-level force," Gongyang Mountain worriedly remarked.
Although right now the Bone Demon Palace housed everyone from the three sects and one palace, under absolute strength, their united efforts were useless.
"The key is that Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator; without him, even if the Bone Demon Array falls, all the strong cultivators of the Chu Country Sect can still hold out for some time relying on other arrays," Chen Yu considered his options.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and after a long thought, he made a significant decision.
"Let’s go, Red Flame King."
Chen Yu shared his plan with the Red Flame King.
"You kid, you’re really not afraid of dying, are you?" the Red Flame King said with a smirk, but he agreed anyway.
In reality, he feared death even less than Chen Yu and hoped Chen Yu would die, so he could be free.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Yu and the Red Flame King suddenly took flight and reached the top of the barrier of the array.
Identifying a weak point in the barrier, Chen Yu pulled out the ancient Token and made a swift cut.
Instantly, a small opening appeared in the array, and Chen Yu and the Red Flame King immediately flew out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I shall take my leave first. If Chu Country falls, it will assuredly avenge you," Chen Yu declared boldly.
Inside the array, all the Chu Country cultivators were stunned.
They had not expected that at this critical moment, Chen Yu would abandon them and escape alone.
"Chen Yu has run away," the Mantu Clan Chief immediately announced.
"This young man, so young yet so powerful and with potential that’s terrifying, must be eradicated," the War Alliance Clan Leader said, his eyes fixated on Chen Yu.
In fact, targeting Chen Yu was their prime objective in attacking Chu Country.
Moreover, Chen Yu’s harsh words had evoked a sense of crisis in them.
If later on Chen Yu were to break through to the Late Guiyuan Realm or even the Sky Sea Realm and return to Beiyuan, the Snow Mountain Tribe would face a catastrophe; such an eventuality could not be allowed to happen.
However, the last time, even the Mantu Clan Chief, fresh at the Peak of the Guiyuan Realm, couldn’t kill Chen Yu.
"This boy is mine," Tie Yuanshan spoke up.
Before the assault, he had learned some information about Chen Yu and knew that a Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm might not necessarily be able to kill Chen Yu.
Whoosh!
As soon as Tie Yuanshan finished speaking, not caring about the others’ thoughts, he soared out.
"As expected, he’s coming."
Chen Yu’s mind tensed up; he immediately started to escape.
When Tie Yuanshan arrived, Chen Yu felt that he was the target.
So Chen Yu used himself as bait to lure away the Late Guiyuan Realm expert. Before leaving, he purposely taunted the enemy, drawing attention.
Besides, with the Red Flame King by his side, he was certain of his own protection.
"Senior Tie, I will join you!"
The Mantu Clan Chief shouted and, riding on a flying mount, rushed over as well.
He thought Chen Yu was too cunning and had too many tricks up his sleeve; he feared Tie Yuanshan might be duped.
Of course, he wouldn’t say it outright, which would offend Tie Yuanshan.
"What’s this old coot joining the fun for?" Chen Yu couldn’t help but curse.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Yu took out the black wings and went all out, casting the "Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow," turning into a pitch-black gust of wind, rapidly flying away.
As for the Red Flame King, he appeared to employ some profound secret technique, matching Chen Yu in speed.
...
"Chen Yu is undoubtedly doomed," the Refining Iron Clan Chief snorted coldly.
A Late Guiyuan Realm cultivator taking action—anyone at the Early Guiyuan Realm would be crushed easily; could Chen Yu really defy fate?
Moreover, the Mantu Clan Chief was also in pursuit.
"Continue the assault and break through the array," the War Alliance Clan Leader commanded.
With the Late Guiyuan Realm strength absent, the Bone Demon Array could hold out for a bit longer.
Furthermore, even if the array was broken, the three sects and one palace could still defend for a while if they combined their efforts.
"Chen Yu... he’s deliberately drawing away that Late Guiyuan Realm expert," the Absolute Yin Ancestor suddenly realized, looking at the situation before her.
By escaping alone, Chen Yu seemed to have abandoned Chu Country, but in reality, he had bought the Chu Country cultivators more time.
