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

In the midst of the Dark Night Exchange Meeting, inside one of the rooms, seven people were gathered.

Among them, a young man emanated a ruthless and overbearing aura, while the other six sat below him, looking up to him as if he were leading them.

"I can't believe Chen Yu actually offended Senior Brother Luo. He really doesn't know what's good for him!"

A young man in a green robe said, flattering.

This person was Jiangling Yuan, who had previously tried to swindle an exchange token from Chen Yu in the Demon Weapon Pavilion.

Apart from him, Chen Yu also recognized the other six.

The robust young man leading them was Luo Haotian, and the other five were Dou Nanhua, the young man with a hooked nose, the beautiful woman, and others.

"Senior Brother Luo, is it necessary to make such a fuss over that kid?"

Dou Nanhua, dressed in white, expressed his doubt.

"Don't underestimate this boy. He was able to defeat Situ Lin Yu of the four great super families, Duan Hao, Cao Zhongtian, Luo Yongguang of the ten great Ancient Clans, and topped the First Rank. He is not as simple as you think!"

Luo Haotian's demeanor was commanding without anger, exuding an invisible oppression.

"Is this kid really that troublesome?"

Dou Nanhua was somewhat incredulous.

He had planned to find an opportunity to meet Chen Yu alone.

But with even Luo Haotian speaking so, he had to reassess Chen Yu.

"What would you like us to do then, Senior Brother Luo?"

The man with the hooked nose had a sharp gleam in his eyes.

"Just follow my plan!"

Luo Haotian said with a solemn expression.

"After this is over, you all will benefit!"

Luo Haotian added, then waved his hand.

Jiangling Yuan, Dou Nanhua, and the others looked at each other, then nodded and left the place.

They could tell that Luo Haotian was intent on killing Chen Yu and took this matter very seriously. They couldn't act rashly yet and had to wait for the right moment.

"Heh, this kid really courts trouble. Offending Luo Haotian, I wonder how long he can keep hopping around!"

The man with the hooked nose sneered sinisterly.

Inside the room.

"Heh, a bunch of fools!"

Luo Haotian snorted coldly.

After the recent competition for newcomers, Luo Haotian had planned to take matters into his own hands and deal with Chen Yu.

However, he inadvertently heard from a Luo family instructor that the vice dean of No Demon Academy held Chen Yu in high regard and paid him close attention.

This made Luo Haotian discard the thought.

A vice dean, someone of that stature, was not someone he dared to offend.

But the more it was so, the less Luo Haotian wanted Chen Yu to continue growing.

Thus, he could only use others to achieve his ends, so if the vice dean were to blame anyone, it would be Jiangling Yuan, Dou Nanhua, and the others.

...

The night was pitch black.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu returned to his cultivation cave, opened the barrier, and swiftly entered.

Although the hatchling inside the incubation egg wasn't dead, it wasn't far from death, hence Chen Yu's urgency.

Swish!

Chen Yu took out the incubation egg and carefully examined it.

Thump, thump! Thump!

Focusing, Chen Yu's heartbeat grew stronger, generating a strange suction force.

Before long, Chen Yu felt an extremely faint heartbeat coming from within the incubation egg.

"What should I do?"

A trace of anxiety appeared in Chen Yu.

Though he had acquired the Ancient Beast Incubation Egg, if he couldn't keep the hatchling alive, spending so many No Demon Points and offending Ren Han would be a huge loss.

"Right... I should start by removing the 'Ice Cold Poison'!"

Chen Yu's gaze focused on the bottom of the incubation egg, which was dark blue emitting a bone-chilling icy aura.

"This poison is no ordinary matter!"

Feeling the temperature, Chen Yu was inwardly alarmed.

But then he thought, if Ice Cold Poison were so easily dealt with, others wouldn't have sold it.

However, just because others couldn't remove it, didn't mean Chen Yu had no means.

He controlled the Blood Crystal Flame, ranked in the top one hundred of the True Fire Spirit Flame List.

"Flame Spirit!"

Chen Yu communicated with the spirit of the Blood Crystal Flame.

"Master!"

A childlike voice responded.

"Let's join forces to drive off the 'Ice Cold Poison', try not to harm the hatchling inside the egg!"

Chen Yu immediately instructed.

"Okay, Master!"

Utilizing the Blood-colored Glazed Flame was extremely tricky, especially for such a delicate task; Chen Yu had to cooperate with the Flame Spirit to minimize risks.

Swish!

Chen Yu's hand emitted a candle-sized flame of blood-colored glazed flame.

Chen Yu instantly implemented the Flame Control Technique, working with the Flame Spirit to handle the blood-colored glazed flame.

They saw.

Under their control, the blood-colored glazed flame transformed into a semi-transparent net of flame, clinging to the bottom of the incubation egg.

Sizzle!

Instantly, when ice and fire met, strands of blue and red smoke wafted away.

To avoid harming the critically endangered hatchling inside, Chen Yu and the Flame Spirit were extremely careful, thus the process was much slower.

Five days passed.

The Ice Cold Poison on the outer surface of the incubation egg had been eradicated by sixty percent.

These five days of refining also enhanced Chen Yu's ability in flame control, along with the growth of his spiritual power.

Chen Yu felt his spiritual power had reached the early peak and believed it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Innate Middle Stage.

"Continue!"

After resting well, Chen Yu immediately resumed work.

Two days later, the Ice Cold Poison on the outside of the incubation egg had been completely eliminated.

"Now comes the trickiest part!"

Chen Yu's expression slightly darkened.

The Ice Cold Poison on the outside was gone, but what about the poison that had seeped inside?

They couldn't just smash the eggshell. Chen Yu had heard from a Beast Tamer that this method was very detrimental to the hatchling inside, not only impacting it negatively but also reducing its potential.

"Master, I have thought of a method. From the patterns on the incubation egg, it seems the Ancient Beast inside is of a fire attribute. Given this, it might be able to absorb the Blood Crystal Flame to strengthen itself. In doing so, its resistance to the Ice Cold Poison would greatly increase!"

The Flame Spirit suddenly suggested.

Chen Yu's eyes lit up—the Flame Spirit's suggestion seemed feasible.

"However, this method is not very stable; if the youngling inside is too weak to withstand the Blood Crystal Flame, this method might actually harm it, hastening its death!"

The Flame Spirit spoke again.

In any case, the likelihood of success for this method was not very high, and if it failed, the Ancient Beast Incubation Egg would be completely destroyed.

"Let's try it!"

After a long while, Chen Yu made his decision.

In his view, the fire-elemental ancient beast youngling, despite the long-term erosion of the Ice Cold Poison, had yet to die completely. It must have a strong constitution and a resilient nature.

Making the decision, the two immediately took action.

Buzzing!

Blood-colored glazed flames attached around the incubation egg.

The flame pattern on the eggshell flickered a slight brightness, gradually absorbing faint traces of glazed blood flame.

At that moment, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something.

"Perhaps this could be useful!"

Chen Yu took out a jade bottle and poured out some Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid, applying it to the surface of the incubation egg.

Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid contained a strong vitality and possessed miraculous effects, capable of almost instantly restoring vitality and healing injuries.

The youngling inside was extremely weak, but as long as the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid could penetrate and be absorbed, even slightly, it would be greatly beneficial.

Thump thump! Thump thump!

Meanwhile, Chen Yu's heart entered a strange rhythmic beating.

In the midst of it, Chen Yu felt more clearly the heartbeat of the youngling inside the incubation egg.

Furthermore, his own heartbeat seemed to affect it, causing the youngling's heartbeat to accelerate slightly and grow stronger.

Chen Yu couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Time passed.

Once the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid on the surface of the eggshell evaporated and dissipated, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and poured out even more drops, applying them again.

"Master, I feel one trace of my Blood Crystal Flame being absorbed!"

A childish voice said.

This idea had been suggested by it, but the Flame Spirit hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

At this moment, Chen Yu stopped applying the Heavenly Bamboo Shoot Liquid, and the amount of it in his hands was only a little left.

Ten days later.

The incubation egg absorbed the Blood Crystal Flame at a much faster rate.

And Chen Yu was able to feel the heartbeat of the youngling inside, which was much better than at the beginning.

"Master, I feel that the Ice Cold Poison inside the incubation egg is gradually reducing!"

Flame Spirit happily said.

A month later, Chen Yu and Flame Spirit ceased their efforts.

At this moment, the incubation egg was emitting an extremely high temperature and occasionally shook.

"Ha ha, ancient beast!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.

After expending so much effort, it was all worth it.

The nature of the ancient beast youngling was rather mild, and it was basically ready to sign a contract directly.

If Chen Yu could cultivate this ancient beast youngling well, he would essentially possess a very strong ally in battle power.

Placing the incubation egg aside, Chen Yu took out a shiny, black glowing Elixir.

After ingesting the "Demon Cleansing Pill," Chen Yu sat down cross-legged.

Buzz!

A cool, tranquil stream slowly moved, flowing through Chen Yu's entire body and eventually pouring into the Qi Sea.

Instantly—

The True Qi within the Qi Sea stirred, churning out fine black mist, which was precisely the aura of demonic paths.

Under the influence of the Demon Cleansing Pill, these strands of black mist slowly gathered together.

Thump thump!

Chen Yu's heart surged with a familiar suction force, the effect of the Demon Cleansing Pill acting within the Qi Sea in an even more astonishing manner.

The gathering speed of the demonic aura suddenly increased drastically.

Above the True Qi mass, a black mist sphere gradually formed, containing entirely the essence of demonic paths.

Then, Chen Yu exerted all his strength to control this power and relocated it.

Whoosh whoosh!

From the palm of his hand, strands of pure demonic power were mobilized and once again condensed together.

In no time, all the demonic power was extracted by Chen Yu.

What surprised him was that this demonic power spontaneously reassembled and ultimately formed a "black mist pearl".

The moment he touched the pearl, a domineering and boundless demonic power rushed at him, making Chen Yu tremble, "Such strong demonic power!"

"This could be extremely useful for a Demon Cultivator, and it might be worth quite a bit of money!"

Chen Yu guessed.

Originally, after breaking through to the Postnatal Late Stage, the black True Qi mass had absorbed quite a bit of demonic aura.

Now, all these auras had been condensed by the Demon Cleansing Pill, yet Chen Yu felt that the mysterious heart played a major role, after all, this wasn't the first time the heart had done this.

"Keep it for now."

Chen Yu placed the black mist pearl into a storage bag and closed his eyes once more.

The effect of the Demon Cleansing Pill hadn't completely dissipated, continuing to act on Chen Yu's spiritual level, helping him refine that demonic intent!

For the demonic intent refinement at the soul level, the mysterious heart didn't play much of a role.

A day later.

Chen Yu opened his sparkling eyes, which held a floating ethereal light, giving off an odd, bewitching demonic impression.

Just then—

Crack!

Not far away, the incubation egg developed a crack and continued to spread.

"It's hatching!"

Chen Yu's expression brightened as he stood and approached.

Crack! Hiss!

From that crack, a fiery red tongue flicked out, and suddenly, a head shot forward.

The head seemed like translucent jade, lustrously transparent, with two horns somewhat resembling dragon horns.

On the small head, a pair of pale red eyes stared at Chen Yu—and of course, Chen Yu was staring right back.

"What is this?"

Just from the small head, Chen Yu truly couldn't recognize what species this little fellow was.

Crack crack!

The little fellow paid no heed to Chen Yu, biting towards the eggshell and started eating it voraciously.

Gradually, as the eggshell was consumed, the little fellow's form became fully revealed.

Dragon horns, cow's tail, horse hooves, and a body covered with faint scales.

"Master, this is a Qilin, likely an ancient beast Fire Qilin, though it seems a bit different!"

Flame Spirit's childish voice called out.
