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

The desire emanating from the heart vanished instantly.

"Could it be the Space Profound Meaning Crystal Stone?"

Chen Yu speculated in his heart.

The mysterious heart could devour space power and expand the internal crystal space.

If Chen Yu could obtain the Space Profound Meaning Crystal Stone, it could be used to enhance his understanding of the Profound Meaning and expand the internal space of his heart.

Actually, the current internal space of the mysterious heart is already enough to serve as a storage space.

However, to avoid others discovering the secret of his private space, Chen Yu mostly used a storage space.

Rumble!

The anomaly of the Soul Burial Lake continued, accompanied by intense explosions, which were the sounds of battle at the bottom of the lake.

The merfolk clan was exploring, but they encountered the anomaly of the Soul Burial Lake, truly unfortunate luck.

The entire Soul Burial Lake was engulfed with terrifying waves and the wails of evil ghosts, appearing exceedingly eerie and horrifying.

At a certain moment.

A bright blue dot surfaced on the water, and the Kings present could distinctly feel the immense water attribute power contained within that bright blue dot.

"Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment."

The captain standing behind Chen Yu's eyes sparkled with bright light.

The Mystical Crystal Stone was immensely valuable; even a fragment was worth quite a few Primordial Stones.

Swoosh, swoosh...

Only to see the Earth Spirit Clan and Flame Human Clan, all the Condensed Star Realm members set out, all vying for that Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment.

With the anomaly at the Soul Burial Lake and the intrusion of Sky Sea Venerable, there was a potential danger.

Just as the four captains looked towards Chen Yu, he had already flown out.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu's entire body glowed with a silver-white brilliance, darting forward.

Although he moved later, his speed surpassed that of the Flame Human Clan and Earth Spirit Clan's Mid-stage Condensation Realm members.

"Kill!"

The Flame Human Clan and Earth Spirit Clan killed the evil ghost spirits charging from all directions, intending to seize the Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment.

From afar, a silver-white brilliance darted swiftly; it was clear it would reach the crystal fragment before them.

"Tower Stone King, let's join forces to stop him."

The representative of the Flame Human Clan was on high alert, but with Tower Stone King by his side, he felt slightly reassured, considering Tower Stone King had previously demonstrated exceptional insight and undoubtedly formidable strength.

Yet, upon seeing Tower Stone King, he was caught off guard to find him even more anxious.

"What?"

Tower Stone King hesitated with internal struggle.

He could be certain that even if he joined forces with the Flame Human Clan's Mid-stage Condensation Realm, they stood no chance against Chen Yu, but they had a hopeful chance of seizing the Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment.

Seizing the treasure and retreating promptly while avoiding direct confrontation with Chen Yu seemed feasible.

At that moment, Chen Yu's voice echoed: "Back in Chaotic Sea City, you attempted to seize my treasure, when should we settle that account?"

Upon hearing this, Tower Stone King's hair stood on end.

Chen Yu effortlessly repelled two Mid-stage Condensation Realm members of the merfolk clan; if he insisted on making a move, Tower Stone King wouldn't stand a chance.

"It was my foolishness in the past, I will let Commander Chen have this Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment as compensation."

Tower Stone King, tall and mighty, bowed down, appearing ingratiating.

This scene left the representative of the Flame Human Clan stunned.

In his mind, the mysterious and powerful, remarkably insightful Tower Stone King had become subservient before Chen Yu.

Not right, from Chen Yu's words, it was clear they had clashed before.

Deceived.

The representative of the Flame Human Clan wore an ugly expression, thinking Tower Stone King had remarkable insight, only to find he had suffered a setback from Chen Yu before.

He cast a disdainful glance at Tower Stone King.

The Earth Spirit Clan retreated, and the Flame Human Clan couldn't possibly engage Chen Yu.

Swoosh!

The bright blue Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment fell into Chen Yu's hand.

"Water Profound Meaning."

Chen Yu examined the Mystical Crystal Stone Fragment.

It felt smooth and warm, the surface rippled slightly; as his Spiritual Sense merged into it, it was as if he was in a vast oceanic world, his mind lucid, with some insights surfacing.

"For now, the crystal fragment containing the Water Profound Meaning is of no use to me."

Chen Yu placed the crystal fragment into his storage space and continued searching.

Suddenly.

"Help!"

A shout for help came from a certain point in the Soul Burial Lake.

The next moment, a Mermaid King in the Early Stage of Condensation Realm emerged from the lake, covered in blood marks, with a piece of his tail severed.

Roar!

A roar sounded, and dozens of gigantic black tentacles followed closely, instantly wrapping around the Mermaid King.

Soon after, the black tentacles sliced the person and king into pieces like blades.

At that moment, Chen Yu punched forward.

Boom!

The huge fist aura, glimmering with white light, struck the dozens of tentacles, breaking and scattering them.

Chen Yu seized the storage space of that Mermaid King out of thin air.

Actually, if he had moved a bit earlier, he could have saved that member of the merfolk clan, but since they were adversaries and the merfolk didn't leave a good impression on him, he thought not rubbing salt in their wounds was already good enough.

Since the opponent was already dead, Chen Yu conveniently took over his storage space.

The waters churned, and an angry soul roared from the depths.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, several black tentacles rushed out from another direction, like black lightning, assaulting Chen Yu fiercely.

"Go!"

Chen Yu did not entangle with the enemy releasing the tentacles.

By utilizing the spatial attribute Profound Meaning, he dodged all attacks and safely left the Soul Burial Lake.

Opening the storage space he had just obtained, Chen Yu discovered inside were two fragments of Mystical Crystal Stones, varying in size. Among them, one emitted spatial power, causing this storage space to become distorted and unstable.

"Spatial attribute."

Chen Yu showed a pleased expression.

Immediately after.

The Kings of the Merfolk Clan surfaced one by one, their faces either pale or full of panic and fear.

Clearly, they encountered a powerful enemy during their exploration.

Initially, there were over ten people who dove underwater; now only four emerged, all Early Stage of Star Condensing Realm had perished.

The Merfolk Clan suffered significant losses this time, while the other two clans were somewhat gloating but remained curious about what the Merfolk Clan had encountered. It would be good to know some information.

The news that fragments of Mystical Crystal Stones were found at Soul Burial Lake quickly spread.

"Have you heard? The Soul Burial Lake, where the anomaly occurred earlier, has spat out fragments of Mystical Crystal Stones."

"I heard the Merfolk Clan had acquired many complete Mystical Crystal Stones, and they even speculated that there are hidden treasures and numerous fragments of Mystical Crystal Stones at the bottom of Soul Burial Lake."

The news spread, becoming more exaggerated as it circulated.

Many Evil Demons deliberately spread misleading information, exaggerating what they had heard, mainly to stir up chaos and get a share of the pie.

After all, Soul Burial Lake was jointly controlled by several major races, and without permission, ordinary Loose Cultivators could not enter Soul Burial Lake.

Chen Yu did not bother with such concerns and comfortably stationed himself near Soul Burial Lake.

Having obtained a fragment of Mystical Crystal Stone containing the Space Profound Meaning, he was attempting to comprehend the Space Profound Meaning.

This was completely different from the Silver Sky Crystal Stone Chen Yu had gotten before; the spatial power contained within Silver Sky Crystal Stone was difficult to comprehend, and its primary use was for crafting spatial-type mystical artifacts.

Holding the fragment of Mystical Crystal Stone in his hand, Chen Yu instantly felt his perception of space in the entire world became clearer.

His consciousness seemed to penetrate through layers of space, comprehending the principles.

The comprehension of Space Profound Meaning increased gradually, bit by bit.

One day.

Nie Hua led five Great Commanders to this place.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, Nie Hua's face darkened immediately, not saying a word.

He had arranged this task for Chen Yu, not very dangerous, and also intended to test Qingyun Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu achieved such a significant accomplishment.

Even Nie Hua, who was in the Late Stage Star Condensing Realm, deeply desired the Mystical Crystal Stones.

If the Merfolk Clan were to investigate thoroughly first and acted swiftly to seize the valuable treasures within Soul Burial Lake, it would be a huge loss.

Not long after.

The leaders of the Merfolk Clan, Flame Human Clan, and Earth Spirit Clan arrived together.

The leaders of the clans conducted a secret meeting not far from Soul Burial Lake.

There was a purple barrier all around, isolating everything.

Though no sound could be heard, Chen Yu, even from a distance, could sense the intense disputes among the leaders of the clans.

The value of Soul Burial Lake was unknown, but merely the possibility of containing Mystical Crystal Stones was enough for them to scramble for every bit of interest.

Bang Boom!

The purple barrier shattered, and the crowned Merfolk King snorted angrily, "Since it can't be agreed upon, then we shall proceed this way."

Immediately after, Nie Hua returned.

"Our clan has already negotiated with them, as per past practices, each tribe sends a certain number of people to jointly enter Soul Burial Lake to scour for treasures, with each relying on their own strengths."

Nie Hua told several leaders.

Indeed, such events had happened in the past; every ten years, major clans would send a Condensed Star Realm leader with several Half-step Kings or high-level Venerables to search for treasures.

Now, it's definitely impossible to send such a team; that's a one-way ticket.

"Our Human Race has five slots, to be given to the most suitable individuals for this task."

Nie Hua solemnly stated.

Undoubtedly, this was an opportunity, and any gains would represent a great achievement.

Of course, it also accompanied a certain danger.

Next, he announced several names publicly.

All were among the eight Great Commanders, but Chen Yu was not named.

"Commander Chen, your task is complete, you can return to the city to rest; let others worry about the subsequent matters."

Nie Hua said with a fake smile.

He was asserting his authority, as the General here, everything was decided by him.

Chen Yu was indifferent, proposing himself, "General Nie also mentioned that these five slots should be given to the most suitable individuals for the task, and I believe I am very suitable for this task."

"I've been here for a while, understand the situation more than other commanders."

"And inside Soul Burial Lake, spatial rifts appear from time to time, which I, having comprehended the Space Profound Meaning, can relatively easily avoid."

Chen Yu wanted to delve deeper, one reason being for the Mystical Crystal Stones with spatial attributes.

He also wanted to know if what his mysterious heart craved was the Space Profound Meaning Crystal Stone or something else?

Nie Hua did not expect, with Qingyun Emperor not present here, Chen Yu dared to defy him openly.

Moreover, he could not refute what Chen Yu said.

"Slots are limited; do you think you are suitable for this task, then are the remaining seven commanders inferior to you?"

Nie Hua questioned sternly.

Chen Yu did not say this, and Nie Hua deliberately distorted his words, posing a dilemma for Chen Yu.

If he insisted on taking a slot, it would mean offending seven commanders at once.

"Pretty much."

Chen Yu's expression was casual.

Nie Hua's eyes widened; he couldn't believe Chen Yu dared to admit this, even at the cost of offending the seven commanders, he whispered smilingly, "Alright, with such confidence... Peng Yun, give him your slot."

Commander Peng Yun was extremely unwilling but had to obey.

Nearby, the other commanders looked at Chen Yu with hostility and animosity.

Chen Yu had just admitted that the other seven commanders were inferior to him.

"Such arrogance and ignorance."

A middle-aged man in silver armor coldly retorted.

Earlier, he had handed off this task to Chen Yu without providing any intelligence, only to leave, unexpectedly Chen Yu was so ruthless, directly seizing intelligence from the Merfolk Clan.

"This kid probably hasn't seen the Great Commander yet, otherwise he would surely regret having said this."
