The Young Ancestor didnât understand why he felt warmth and familiarity from a human being.
In his eyes, humans were nothing but lowly creatures, crushable at will, and their blood mostly tasted average.
Yet at that moment, he experienced a craving, finding Chen Yuâs body exceptionally delicious.
Chen Yuâs skin, though tough, was no match for his profound cultivation. After breaking the skin, his body transformed into a fine stream of blood, quickly entering Chen Yuâs body entirely.
At that moment, the Young Ancestorâs internal longing grew stronger, and he also felt another emotionâawe.
This puzzled him. As a descendant of the Blood-sucking Clan, why was he feeling this in the body of a lowly human?
Mur-mur!
The Young Ancestor turned into countless tiny streams of blood, devouring Chen Yuâs throughout his meridians. The taste wasnât much, yet it was extremely pure.
He could feel Chen Yu struggling, but once a Blood-sucking Clan descendant entered a human body, victory was already assured.
The Young Ancestor also devoured all of Chen Yuâs True Yuan that was circulating.
As long as he devoured all of Chen Yuâs blood, he could fully possess the body and take over.
"Human, you are lucky to have been chosen by me. Iâll make your life more exciting and ensure the Great Yu Realm remembers your name," the Young Ancestor laughed smugly to himself.
He could feel Chen Yuâs resistance growing weaker until it suddenly vanished.
"Given up resisting? Thatâs more like it. Just let me take your place."
The Young Ancestor found himself delightfully happy to possess a human body and found himself talking a bit too much.
But suddenly!
Thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!
A trembling heartbeat suddenly erupted, shaking the blood-form of the Young Ancestor, causing his soul to reverberate like the pounding of drums.
"Whatâs this vibration...whatâs going on?"
The awe and fear in the Young Ancestorâs heart grew instantly, and at that moment, he even felt a sense of impending doom.
But he had already entered this humanâs body and was about to drain all his blood dry; how could a sense of crisis arise?
Suddenly, an overwhelming, irresistible force burst forth from the location of Chen Yuâs heart.
Mur-mur!
The Young Ancestorâs body, agitated and out of control, was drawn towards it.
There seemed to be a black hole there, a black hole that attracted and devoured only him.
"Whatâs happening?"
The Young Ancestor roared inwardly, escalating to a scream.
His blood form, gathering from all directions towards the heart, grew more intense the closer he got, as if he was walking towards death itself.
He had never felt so close to death in all his life.
"What is this?"
The Young Ancestor saw a heart, clear as crystal, its depth immeasurable. Its surface alternated between silver and gold and all the colors of the rainbow, dazzling and utterly entrancing...
At that moment, the Young Ancestor finally realized that it wasnât Chen Yu he felt affinity for, but this heart.
But he didnât know what it was.
The mysterious heartâs suction was still there, growing stronger, pulling the Young Ancestorâs body bit by bit into it.
"No..."
He exerted all his force in resistance, but it was futile; not even a ripple could be stirred.
At last, the Young Ancestorâs entire being surged into the mysterious heart.
At that moment, his fear of death suddenly faded, replaced by a sense of belonging...
...
Inside the ancient castle, everyoneâs eyes were focused on Chen Yu.
The Blood Race, the bane of all flesh and blood races, had once glorified in ancient times, intimidating countless clans. The Great Yu Realm had almost been overrun by the Blood Race.
Within the vast Blood Race, there were many branches, including a ruling clan known as the "Blood-sucking Clan."
If the Blood Race was the nemesis of all flesh and blood races,
Then the Blood-sucking Clan was not just thatâit was also the bane of all Blood Races, the royal family of all Blood Races, the ancestors of all Blood Races!
Above the ancient castle, the Black Robed Elder gazed at Chen Yu with deep, wise eyes.
He was curious as to why the Young Ancestor had chosen this body.
Among the thirty-two present, twenty were Sky Sea Venerables, yet the Young Ancestor had chosen a body with merely Half-step Sky Sea Realm cultivation.
"Is it this kid?"
Zhuo Buhuan and Dou Sanshuiâs pupils constricted.
"This kidâs really unlucky."
Dou Sanshui swallowed hard.
However, the thought of having to obey Chen Yu, now the Young Ancestor, made Dou Sanshui and Zhuo Buhuan feel somewhat resistant.
"Hehe, this guyâs really got bad luck. Out of more than thirty people, the Blood-sucking Clan descendant had to pick him."
You Guangxiong sneered coldly in his heart, a mocking expression on his face.
Chen Yuâs death excited him.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief; at least they wouldnât die or become vessels for the Blood-sucking Clan descendant.
Suddenly.
Hush! Hush!
Chen Yu took two deep breaths, his mere breathing drawing the attention of everyone present.
"This guy... even he could be absorbed by the mysterious heart."
Chen Yu exhaled in relief, secretly amazed inside.
At the moment when the Blood-sucking Clanâs offspring entered his body, Chen Yu was indeed very afraid, and all attempts at resistance and obstruction were futile.
But then Chen Yu thought, if the mysterious heart could extract the Bloodline Power, then the Young Ancestor of the Blood-sucking Clan, whose entire body was a stream of blood, should also be absorbable.
So, with a try-and-see mindset...in the end, the Young Ancestor was absorbed.
From start to finish, it was very smooth.
When the Young Ancestor was absorbed by the mysterious heart, the gray, deathly silent space did not reveal a surge of Bloodline Power as Chen Yu had predicted.
Instead, a wisp of scarlet aura suddenly appeared, merging into the dead, cold space, desolate like the ancient times.
Boom!
The whole space trembled, as if some kind of change had occurred.
Chen Yuâs heart suddenly started to beat powerfully, and a vigorous vitality poured into his entire body.
The feebleness he had felt just a moment ago was swept away in an instant.
And at this moment, Chen Yu felt as if his entire body was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation; his veins, flesh, bones, and hair were all evolving, and strength kept flowing in.
Chen Yu felt his lifeâs level advancing by leaps and bounds, progressing toward the Sky Sea Realm.
An indescribably refreshing sensation kept rising in his heart.
"What exactly is going on? After absorbing the Blood-sucking Clanâs offspring, there was no Bloodline Power produced, but it had a direct effect on the mysterious heart and my body!"
Chen Yu was full of doubts and uncertainty, and his confusion about the mysterious heart deepened.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that everyone around him was staring at him.
"We pay our respects to the Young Ancestor!"
All the black-robed people knelt down, showing utmost respect.
Being worshipped by so many powerful beings, Chen Yu felt a bit proud inside, but more than that, he was panic-stricken. If these people knew that he had "absorbed" their Young Ancestor, the consequences... were too horrifying to contemplate.
Given the situation, it was best not to tell them this harsh reality.
At this moment, Chen Yu noticed that the other humans nearby all wore faces of pity and relief, and You Guangxiong was even smirking faintly.
"This guy, heâs probably hoping for my death."
Chen Yu thought to himself.
He stopped his chest from moving and with an air of arrogance, a sharp gleam in his eyes, he coldly shouted, "Why are you not paying homage to me?"
At this moment, everyone present showed signs of struggle, as Chen Yu was just a Half-step Sky Sea, but considering Chen Yuâs true identity and the current situation, they had no choice but to bow.
"We pay our respects to the Young Ancestor!"
Thirty-one people, including You Guangxiong, half-knelt down.
"Young Ancestor, now that you have arrived, we should also leave this place."
The Black Robed Elder in the sky descended and approached Chen Yu.
His deep red and dark eyes stared at him intently.
For some reason, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.
He had seen the Young Ancestor enter Chen Yuâs body and logically, nothing should have gone wrong, yet he had a persistent sense of unease.
"Not good, this old fellow seems to be observing me."
Chen Yuâs mind tensed up.
"Staying here will eventually reveal flaws. Itâs time to leave."
Chen Yu had made up his mind.
This incursion into enemy territory allowed him to gather intelligence on the Blood Orchid Ancient Village, which turned out to be a stronghold controlled by the Blood Race, and he also had killed a legendary offspring of the Blood-sucking Clan.
Thinking of leaving, Chen Yuâs courage grew, as he had a trump card and naturally felt invincible.
"This bodyâs cultivation is too weak. I need to break through to the Sky Sea Realm as quickly as possible. Do you have any treasures to help me reach the Sky Sea Realm faster?"
Chen Yu demanded with an aloof and indifferent demeanor.
"Your body practices the Demon Technique. I do not have suitable precious materials here, only a 5,000-year-old Demon Intent Fruit, as well as the âSea Transformation Pillâ, which can increase the odds of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm."
The Black Robed Elder said.
Chen Yu was thrilled, yet he maintained a cool and composed exterior, "Is that all? Well, bring them to me."
The 5,000-year-old Demon Intent Fruit would be greatly beneficial to Chen Yuâs demonic cultivation, likely allowing him to directly comprehend the Essence of the demon at the moment of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm.
The Sea Transformation Pill was even more legendary and exceedingly valuable, capable of increasing the likelihood of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm.
The Black Robed Elder produced the Demon Intent Fruit and the Blood Transformation Pill, and handed them over to Chen Yu. Just as Chen Yu took these two items, his hands brushed against the Elderâs wrinkled and withered palm.
"Not good..."
At that moment, Chen Yu felt a sudden shock of dread.
He snatched the Demon Intent Fruit and the Blood Transformation Pill from the Black Robed Elderâs hand and took out the Identity Token from the Light Silver Crystal Space.
On the side, the Black Robed Elder did not sense any Bloodline Power that shared the same origin when he touched Chen Yu.
A storm of shock rose in his mind, his eyelids slowly widening with a look of disbelief.
"What have you done to the Young Ancestor?"
The Black Robed Elder shouted sharply, a terrifying Blood Path power suddenly exploded.
All those around were blasted away, and several humans at the Half-step Sky Sea Realm had their blood burst open inside their bodies and died on the spot!
In the same instant, Chen Yu activated a strand of energy that the Silent Blood Valley Master had left in the Identity Token.
Buzz boom!
A dark red light bloomed, suppressing the formidable Blood Path power unleashed by the Black Robed Elder.
Everyone present trembled under this dark red starlight.
"This is... Condensed Star Essence Power!"
The Black Robed Elderâs body shook, his eyes flickering with shock.
The next moment, the dark red starlight enveloped Chen Yuâs entire body, turning him into a meteor that shot straight into the sky, instantly tearing through the Array Barrier, piercing through the ancient castle roof, and vanishing into the horizon.
Everyone within the ancient castle was stunned, their faces filled with clueless bewilderment.
But in an instant, everyone reacted...
