Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Jun Wuxie, shielded by the mountain forest and the darkness of night, concealed his aura and finally approached the entrance of the valley.

The hazy moonlight poured down like water, dyeing the entire mountain forest with a layer of silver.

The sound impacted the heart even more intensely.

Even with the Guardian Shield activated, he felt an discomfort as if his heart was being struck by a heavy hammer, being severely squeezed, as if it was about to burst open, or as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

This feeling was extremely terrible, causing his blood pressure to rise with each occurence and his head to spin.

He couldn't help but re-evaluate the strength of the five divine beasts and the妖族 (Yaozu) woman.

He was only near the valley entrance, and the distance between him and the source of the sound within the valley was greater than the Yaozu woman and the divine beasts.

But they didn't show the slightest discomfort, seemingly not caring at all about the impact of the sound?

He hid at the canyon entrance, secretly observing the angles of the five divine beasts and the Yaozu woman, and chose a route that their line of sight couldn't directly see, slowly, step by step, sneaking in.

Dong! Dong!

The sound occasionally entered his ears, and even closing off his hearing was useless; the impact on his heart became increasingly intense.

Jun Wuxie endured the discomfort, carefully restrained his aura, and slowly went deeper.

"What's going on?"

He entered the canyon, and before he had gone far, the blood in his body began to boil faster, as if it would surge uncontrollably from his body.

He quickly forcibly controlled it, avoiding the overflow of blood energy fluctuations, otherwise he would inevitably be discovered, and that would be the end of him.

At the same time, a wonderful feeling arose in his body, almost uncontrollably, as if something was attracting the power of his bloodline!

Even the Chaos Beginning Bone in his body began to heat up.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that the Chaos Beginning Bone had developed its own will, and issued a strong desire to him, just like a parched person craving a water source, or a person with depleted life craving the source of life...

"Bloodline... Chaos..."

He shuddered, realizing that in that valley, there was likely something extremely closely related to his Chaos Bloodline!

It was that thing that was attracting the power of his bloodline, causing the Chaos Beginning Bone to instinctively produce a strong desire.

This was the innate reaction of the bloodline origin!

Jun Wuxie's mood was both tense and expectant.

After a long period of sneaking, he finally arrived near the inner entrance of the valley at an incredibly slow speed, step by step.

Having arrived here, he dared not continue forward; if he continued, he would easily be discovered.

He hid among the rocks in the woods, almost entering a state of suspended animation, ceasing breathing, and reducing his heartbeat to an extremely slow pace.

At this time, he had the mind to observe the scene in the valley.

The valley was very spacious and flat, with almost no obstacles; from his current position, he could see almost all of the valley's appearance.

The sound of flowing water came from the valley.

It was a waterfall, located at the deepest part of the valley, rushing down from a cave halfway up a certain mountain peak.

There was a pool under the waterfall, splashing up waves.

In the deep night, the moonlight was bright, shining on the splashing water, reflecting a crystal clear luster.

The water overflowed from the pool and flowed outwards, forming a small stream with a gurgling sound.

The water was very clear, filled with spiritual energy, and the quality was not low; it was estimated to be equivalent to the quality of an eight-star spirit spring. If this were placed outside, it would definitely be a high-level resource that could be used to cultivate experts in the Sovereign and Emperor realms.

Waterfall, clear pool, and stream were only a corner of the scenery in the valley.

Not far from the waterfall, there was a simple yet quite unique small courtyard, built of spirit wood, covered with the mottled marks of time, obviously with a very long history.

The courtyard was not cleaned, and was covered in dust, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.

Next to the courtyard was a bamboo forest, verdant and serene.

Jun Wuxie's gaze slowly moved, and then landed near the bamboo forest.

There was an ancient well there, the well opening was very large, so that even from a great distance he could see part of the scene in the well.

His pupils shrank violently, his eyes locked on the ancient well, on the faint golden well water, where a heart-like object flowing with the light of chaos was suspended.

It was slightly larger than an adult's fist, and had strands of golden lines on it, like capillaries distributed on the heart.

No... That was a heart!

He looked carefully, that was definitely a human heart, because it was still beating!

Each time it beat, the sound of 'dong' would follow, impacting his heart, causing it to resonate with it!

A heart flowing with chaotic energy?

Jun Wuxie simply couldn't believe his eyes!

How could such a heart exist in the ancient well?

Moreover, the power of runes lingered around the heart, floating up and down in the well.

The water in the well was pale gold, not ordinary well water, but a special kind of water, containing mysterious power!

"It is it, that heart, it is what made my bloodline and Chaos Beginning Bone produce a strong desire, it is calling for my Chaos Bloodline..."

Jun Wuxie's eyes became hot, that heart must possess extremely powerful energy.

The power of runes lingering around it should be terrifying; the mysterious Yaozu woman and the divine beasts might have not acted because of this, otherwise how could they be waiting quietly on the mountain?

He quietly observed for a moment, and found that the power of the runes around the heart was slowly dissipating over time.

At this rate, it was estimated that before dawn, those runes would disappear completely.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Could it be that the heart was sealed here by the owner of this place in the past, and has recently emerged for some special reason?

This would explain why the mysterious heart's emergence attracted the five divine beasts and the Yaozu woman, and the terrifying sound resonance of the mysterious heart caused the fierce beasts living here to flee frantically in order to save their lives.

If they didn't escape in time, they simply couldn't withstand the terrible impact on the heart caused by each heartbeat.

What kind of person was the owner of the valley, to seal such a heart here, and after such a long time, still be able to keep the heart alive and vigorous!

He noticed a broken stone tablet next to the ancient well.

Although part of the tablet was missing, he could still see several ancient characters engraved on it.

Dragon Blessing Spring Well?

He was stunned; the name sounded a bit strange, lacking any ancient charm or poetry.

At this time, he withdrew his gaze and looked around.

This was located at the inner entrance of the valley.

He saw slightly blurred inscriptions on the nearby stone walls.

Dragon Blessing Valley.

Below was a line of small characters: Dragon's Fall Land, Blessed Paradise.

He was immediately stunned; so the name Dragon Blessing came from this?

Once, a dragon fell here, turning this place into a blessed paradise.

Thinking about it, in a certain era, the scene here should not have been like this; only when the spiritual energy was extremely rich could it be called a blessed land.

Only later, due to some reason, did the spiritual energy slowly dry up?

Having understood the origin of this valley, he couldn't help but re-examine it.

Only then did he discover that, although there was no special terrain to obscure the line of sight in the fairly flat valley, there were special features.

For example, between a certain edge position of the valley and the Dragon Blessing Spring Well, the ground was slightly raised several meters high; if observed carefully, it looked like the spine of a dragon, with the tail at the edge of the valley and the dragon's head being the ancient well.

Could that be the flesh of the dragon that fell here in the past?

Jun Wuxie pondered for a moment; if that were the case, the ancient well was the spring eye evolved from the dragon's life source? The spring water was the dragon spring produced by the life essence after the dragon's fall?

"No wonder the owner of the valley wanted to seal the heart in the ancient well; it must have been to use the dragon spring to nourish the heart, so that it would continue to maintain its vitality over the long years. Now, the life essence in that dragon spring should be difficult to nourish the heart anymore, so the heart broke the seal?"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were very hot; that was a Chaos Heart!

Otherwise, why would his bloodline and Chaos Beginning Bone be so eager?

"If I can get this heart, then I might be able to replace my own heart. In that case, when reshaping Yao'er's body, I can return her own heart to her! Only a heart that matches one's own bloodline can exert the most perfect physiological function, otherwise Yao'er's body will never be complete..."

He was extremely eager in his heart, determined that he must snatch that heart!

"Patiently wait; now that the runes have not yet dissipated, it is impossible to snatch it. When the runes dissipate, it will be the best time for me to take action. Hopefully, there will be no accidents..."

He thought in his heart; here, he was undoubtedly the weakest.

The five divine beasts, and the mysterious Yaozu woman, were all much stronger than him.

Because he didn't dare to recklessly use the Primordial True Eye, and because the other party's realm was very high, he couldn't see clearly their realm and talent growth intensity, but the abyss-like aura lurking in their bodies was telling him that these were all very terrible experts!

He was at an absolute disadvantage in front of them; snatching head-on was almost impossible.

But he had confidence in himself; after all, those guys didn't know that he was lurking here, closer to the heart than any of them!

When the time comes, unexpectedly, a sudden shot, there is still a chance.

Time passed slowly.

The wind of the deep night rustled, carrying a slight chill.

In that ancient well, only half of the runes around the heart remained.

The five divine beasts, who had been very quiet, suddenly looked up at the mysterious woman of the Yaozu.

"Saintess Qingyu, the heart left behind by the Primordial Chaos Saint is about to break its seal. Is your heart growing more and more panicked?"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex spoke in human tongue, its tone carrying a provocative edge, its gaze chilling.

"Saintess Qingyu, we advise you to leave. What do you have to compete with us?"

The Suanni spoke coldly, its lion's head slightly raised, its posture forceful and domineering.

The demon race woman called Qingyu looked at them with profound eyes and said, "I really dislike hearing your nonsense. Just because your ancient race has sent five immature divine beast bloodlines, do you think you can suppress me?"

"Hahaha! You are confident, but in our eyes, it's just arrogance!"

The Flying Dragon said with a sneer.

"Confidence or arrogance, we'll know after we fight."

Saintess Qingyu's words were calm, with a hint of indifference, yet they seemed very confident.

"Humph! I fear that after we fight, you will never return to the upper realm!"

The Primordial Divine Demon Ape's eyes were like lightning, piercing straight at Saintess Qingyu.

Hidden in the valley entrance, Jun Wuxie's heart contracted violently upon hearing these words.

What did the Primordial Divine Demon Ape just say?

Return to the upper realm?

What did it mean? Could it be that the demon race saintess Qingyu came from the upper realm?

"Is that so?" Saintess Qingyu's stunningly beautiful face showed no ripples, as she replied indifferently, "If I cannot return to the upper realm, does that mean you can?"

"Humph! If the five of us join forces to attack you alone, even if we can't kill you, severely injuring you will be as easy as flipping our hands! At that time, will you still have the strength to activate the forbidden path connecting to the upper realm? But we will be unharmed, and returning to the upper realm will naturally be no problem! As for you, in this abandoned world with fragmented order, you will find it difficult to restore your power to that critical point and will only be able to stay here forever!"

"Hehe, then come and try!"

Saintess Qingyu very gracefully smoothed her green hair.

She was not afraid at all. If they were confident in not getting injured, they would have attacked long ago. Why wait until now to threaten her with words?

"Saintess Qingyu, why must you compete with our ancient race?"

The Primordial Golden Eagle spoke coldly.

"Who in the world wouldn't want to possess the heart of the Primordial Chaos Saint?" Saintess Qingyu's gaze swept over them, "In that era, the Primordial Chaos Saint swept through his generation, unmatched, and was known as the number one in attack and defense among his peers for fifty thousand years. Later, he suddenly disappeared, and no one knew what happened. It wasn't until much later that the higher-ups of certain forces deduced the answer from clues. He suffered irreversible damage in that great battle and fell to the lower realm along with a corner of the shattered continent."

"Hmph, we thought only our ancient race had deduced the truth, but we didn't expect your demon race to have deduced it as well!" The Suanni said coldly, "Before his death, the Primordial Chaos Saint fused his life essence into his heart and sealed his Chaos Heart in an ancient well, nourishing it with the Longfu Mountain spring, perhaps hoping to leave a glimmer of hope, hoping to encounter a Chaos Body here in later generations to inherit this Chaos Heart."

The Primordial Divine Demon Ape laughed coldly, "It's a pity, how many ages does it take for a Chaos Body to appear? This hope is too slim. His heart cannot be wasted, our ancient race will accept it, and we will surely produce a myth among the younger generation!"

The Golden Eagle took over the conversation, saying, "Therefore, Saintess Qingyu, you should know the will of our ancient race! In this struggle, you will have no hope! Instead of trying in vain, you might as well give up now. Our ancient race will certainly remember the kindness of your demon race, and perhaps when our ancient race reigns supreme in the world, we may show leniency to your demon race!"

"Hehe, if my demon race cannot obtain it, we will never let your ancient race obtain it either."

Saintess Qingyu's attitude remained firm, and her voice remained indifferent.

"You…"

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

… …

The five divine beasts of the ancient race revealed fierce glares, but they did not attack.

Clearly, they had concerns, either fearing a mutual loss, or being unable to return to the upper realm.

"Golden Eagle, you are the fastest! When the seal on the Chaos Heart disappears, you must seize it with the fastest speed and never let it escape! The four of us will stop this demon race saintess!"

The Suanni was clearly the most authoritative among these divine beasts, and it assigned the task.

… …

Jun Wuxie was hiding below, eavesdropping the entire time.

He never imagined that the demon race saintess and the divine beasts all came from the upper realm!

They came by opening a forbidden path. It was estimated that the experts of their two races used special methods to create some kind of forbidden artifact to have such a function.

It's just that activating that forbidden artifact required extremely strong power, and once seriously injured, it could not be done, so they were very afraid.

Ancient race?

Those divine beasts all belonged to the ancient race. It seemed that they had formed an alliance, and on the surface, they seemed very united.

If that was the case, then how powerful would the ancient race in the upper realm be?

After all, that was a large race composed of different divine beast races. Their strength was unimaginable. No wonder they dared to claim that they would reign supreme in the world in the future, which was evident.

"Chaos Heart, none of you can have it. I am its best owner!"

Jun Wuxie muttered to himself. From their conversation, he deeply understood the power of the Chaos Heart!

Not to mention what realm the Primordial Chaos Saint was in back then, just the fact that he dared to claim to be the number one in attack and defense among his peers for fifty thousand years showed how terrifying he was back then!

That was an unparalleled figure!

This heart fused his life essence!

What did that mean?

It meant that it had super strong life force. Whoever possessed it, before reaching the realm of the Primordial Chaos Saint, was equivalent to having a super life source, which would give the owner an inexhaustible supply of life force!

For those who cultivated the physical body, that was simply a super endurance device. Theoretically, it could make one's blood energy never dry up during battle!

The more Jun Wuxie thought about it, the more excited he became. His heart was surging, and his hands hanging at his waist involuntarily clenched!

This was a great opportunity!

He didn't expect to encounter the Chaos Heart so soon after entering the Heavenly Outer Ruins. He had to seize it no matter what.

Fortunately, he chose the direction of the beast tide at that time, otherwise he would have missed it in vain. If he had been half a day late, he would have missed the Chaos Heart!
