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

"My secret technique was forcefully shattered."

The Blue Water King's handsome and exotic face revealed a ferocious and angry expression.

Just now, he had used the Spirit Transformation Technique, and that blue "fish spirit", with its first-rate speed and concealment skills, was often used to investigate enemy situations or dangerous forbidden grounds.

In his view, within this Soul Burial Lake, if the fish spirit wanted to escape, no one could stop it.

As a result, the Blue Water King paid the price for his confidence.

"I didn't expect this new human commander to have comprehended the profound meaning of space."

The Blue Water King wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The fish spirit contained his essence and a portion of his soul's will, which was obliterated, and he himself was affected to some extent.

"Even so, the human race, faced with numerous ferocious ghosts and evil spirits, will incur heavy losses."

A merfolk said.

"Should we start exploring Soul Burial Lake now, or seize this opportunity to wipe out the humans stationed here?"

Another early-stage Condensed Star merfolk king asked inquisitively.

In the past.

The Blue Water King might have chosen the former; after all, occasional skirmishes were acceptable, but annihilating an entire team was a bit excessive and could trigger major conflicts between the two races.

But today, the Blue Water King was holding back anger.

"Naturally, let's go and see how capable the humans really are."

The Blue Water King coldly commanded, leading the merfolk slowly closer.

On the other side, the Earth Spirit Clan and Flame Human Clan personnel also appeared, watching from outside the Soul Burial Lake.

"Are the human and merfolk races clashing again?"

"This is not a minor conflict; the Soul Burial Lake has mutated at this time, becoming even more dangerous, and the merfolk are trying to annihilate this human team."

A Flame Human Clan king said in a deep voice.

In a unique forbidden ground like Soul Burial Lake, the merfolk hold a certain advantage, while the Flame Human Clan is at an absolute disadvantage; they are more eager to see the merfolk suffer defeat.

"Tower Stone King!"

The crowd parted to make way as the three-yard-tall Tower Stone King slowly approached.

When he noticed the commotion at the Soul Burial Lake, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "The merfolk are looking for trouble for no reason and are bound to suffer a great loss."

The merfolk are unaware of Chen Yu, the rising individual who he had previously fought against; how could he not know Chen Yu's means?

"Why do you say that? How could the merfolk suffer a loss, especially in such an environment?"

Some were puzzled.

The Tower Stone King did not answer; otherwise, he would expose his defeat at Chen Yu's hands while infiltrating the human race.

...

Over the eerie blue lake.

"Retreat quickly!"

"Withdraw from the Soul Burial Lake!"

Two captains shouted.

Countless ghostly shadows surged relentlessly from afar, as if the crowd had entered a hellish domain, leaving many with expressions of despair.

"Commander Chen!"

The eyes of the two captains and many others fell on Chen Yu.

Now, facing a major crisis, they could only rely on this new commander.

The two captains had heard of Chen Yu's feats; if Chen Yu took action, the current situation should be resolved.

Chen Yu stood calmly on the lake surface, gazing into the distance.

The black mass of ghostly creatures before him was primarily overwhelming in number, making it not difficult to deal with them.

But upon arriving here, the merfolk dared to provoke him, treating him like a soft target?

Buzz!

Chen Yu extended his palm, upon which a small golden tower appeared.

The moment the tower appeared, everyone around felt a strong oppression, and their blood and Inner Qi solidified.

In the distance, the Tower Stone King among the Earth Spirit Clan sensed this, showing a look of longing.

"Go!"

The small golden tower in Chen Yu's hand transformed into a streak of golden light, which suddenly blossomed with brilliance so dazzling that one couldn't open their eyes.

Now he had completely refined the Golden Mountain Tower.

Instantly.

The two-foot-tall golden tower transformed into a three-thousand-yard-tall structure, like a giant golden mountain, suspended in the sky, its light shining brightly.

The ghostly creatures on the Soul Burial Lake were all drawn to this scene, and under the dazzling golden light, they howled even more ferociously, seeming to hate the golden light.

Boom!

The golden giant tower suddenly descended, striking the lake's surface, stirring up a violent and formidable storm that swept through the vast Soul Burial Lake.

"This!"

Everyone behind Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

The storm stirred by the Golden Mountain Tower affected the entire Soul Burial Lake, yet standing behind Chen Yu, they were surrounded by an invisible light silver barrier that shielded everything, allowing them to safely observe the wild waves around them.

Countless ghostly creatures perished under the suppression of the golden giant tower.

When calm returned.

The evil ghosts and ferocious spirits that had been charging toward Chen Yu's team had already vanished without a trace.

They were at the center of the Golden Mountain Tower's attack, almost entirely obliterated.

On the other side.

The merfolk and others were all stunned in the lake water.

Just now, they were preparing to watch the spectacle, only to see the golden light explode, transforming into a giant tower, suppressing downward and stirring up a terrifying storm.

"They're all dead!"

"All those ferocious ghosts and spirits are dead; what kind of treasure is that?"

Voices of astonishment echoed among the merfolk.

"The aura of a mid-grade arcane artifact!"

The Blue Water King revealed an expression of resentment.

Just an early-stage Condensed Star Realm peak, yet possessing a mid-grade arcane artifact, and furthermore such a large-scale heavy arcane artifact, easily resolving the crisis.

Just at this moment.

Ghostly howls and wails resounded from all around as fierce and ferocious ghosts pounced from every direction.

The [Golden Mountain Tower] unleashed a massive strike, creating a storm that forced countless ghosts to the periphery.

As a result, the Merfolk Clan was attacked.

Gurgle!

The lake water churned as a black ghost shadow clad in armor suddenly surged forth, the black aura emanating from it dyeing the sky dark.

The armored ghost shadow wielded a large blade, sweeping it fiercely as the bone-chilling black wind passed over several nearby merfolk.

From within them, a light blue mermaid silhouette floated out; it was their soul, all swept away by the black wind into the mouth of the armored ghost shadow.

"Ghost King!"

A merfolk exclaimed, and the Ghost King appeared exceptionally powerful.

Even the Blue Water King's expression changed slightly, no longer as composed and confident as before.

"Not good, the commotion just now was too loud, the entire Soul Burial Lake has been shaken."

"Retreat!"

"Today is not suitable for exploration!"

The Merfolk Clan rapidly retreated, leaving Soul Burial Lake and returning to their camp.

The Flame Human Clan and Earth Spirit Clan also fell into silence.

The Merfolk Clan retreated without exploring, embarrassingly, and suffered some casualties.

Many people suddenly remembered the words of the Tower Stone King earlier, glancing over and feeling even more admiration for him.

"As expected of the Earth Spirit Clan's genius, Tower Stone King, you could see the extraordinariness of that Human Race commander; just in terms of vision, I am far inferior to you."

The leader of the Flame Human Clan sighed.

The corner of the Tower Stone King's mouth twitched, this was not about vision; it was entirely a lesson learned from experience.

"Huh? The Merfolk Clan is making a big move!"

"They are heading to the Human Race's camp."

"The Merfolk Clan has two mid-stage Condensed Star Realm Kings, giving them a combat advantage near Soul Burial Lake, even if that Human Race commander has a medium-quality mysterious artifact, he is not a match!"

The leader of the Flame Human Clan analyzed.

"Not necessarily."

The Tower Stone King showed a hint of a smile.

...

Chen Yu's team, after repelling the crisis, temporarily withdrew from Soul Burial Lake.

According to the captain, Chen Yu had caused a huge commotion just now and couldn't explore Soul Burial Lake temporarily, otherwise, even a Condensed Star Realm warrior would face severe danger.

Chen Yu didn't mind; he wasn't in a rush to complete the task.

But just as they returned to the camp, someone came rushing in to report: "The Merfolk Clan is attacking."

Immediately, everyone rushed out of the camp.

The previous actions of the Merfolk Clan had put them in danger. Upon hearing that the Merfolk Clan had come, most people's hearts ignited with anger, wanting to see what the Merfolk Clan intended to do.

In the distant sky.

The Merfolk Clan's team flew over, their immense pressure enveloping one side of heaven and earth.

The Merfolk Clan had an advantage in numbers, as did the number of Kings.

"What brings the Merfolk Clan here?"

The ordinary-looking female captain asked solemnly.

"What do you mean, what? Are you pretending to be foolish?"

The Blue Water King laughed loudly, glaring intently, his mid-stage Condensed Star Realm pressure crashing down.

The Human Race female captain was only at the early stage of Star Condensing, and under this pressure, her blood and energy solidified, making it hard to breathe, cold sweat forming on her forehead.

"Does the Human Race not know that causing too much commotion in Soul Burial Lake will alarm the hidden Ghost King?"

"The large disturbance you caused earlier led to heavy losses for our clan. Do you think nothing happened?"

The Blue Water King's presence was oppressive, and water waves surged incessantly between heaven and earth, threatening to form towering maelstroms.

These words ignited furious anger in many of the Human Race.

Clearly, the Merfolk Clan deliberately led the enemy to them, nearly causing great harm, and now they dared to come demanding compensation.

But faced with the pressure of two mid-stage Condensed Star Realm Kings, ordinary people didn't dare to speak up in opposition.

"Let your commander come out and apologize to our clan."

A robust Merfolk King said. He was the second mid-stage Condensed Star of the Merfolk Clan, with power on par with the Blue Water King.

"Are you looking for me?"

A young man in silver armor walked out from the tent; it was Chen Yu.

He looked composed, his ancient eyes gazing at the Merfolk Kings with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It was you who caused the huge commotion earlier, leading to heavy losses for our clan. How do you plan to resolve this?"

The Blue Water King glared at Chen Yu, his eyes shooting a chilling cold light.

"I heard you have a medium-quality mysterious artifact. Hand it over, and we'll consider this matter settled."

Another robust Merfolk King said with a sinister smile.

Their main purpose this time was Chen Yu's medium-quality mysterious artifact.

An early-stage Condensed Star Realm peak, mastering a medium-quality mysterious artifact would tempt anyone. In Chaotic Sea City, even evil demons were tempted and came to ambush Chen Yu, only to be slain by him in fear.

The Tower Stone King is a living example.

"All right."

Chen Yu laughed lightly.

This answer left the Human Race bewildered; did Commander Chen just agree like that?

The Merfolk Clan's experts were also stunned, not expecting Chen Yu to be so weak.

However, the moment Chen Yu tossed out the [Golden Mountain Tower], the two Merfolk Kings at the mid-stage Condensed Star Realm immediately sensed something was off.

"How dare you!"

The Blue Water King roared in anger.

He didn't expect Chen Yu to make a move without a word!

Boom!

The [Golden Mountain Tower] emitted brilliant golden light, instantly enlarging, like a majestic mountain, pressing towards the Merfolk Clan.
