Eternal Heart Chapter 651: Stone Cloud Realm

Passing through the space channel, a completely different spatial aura from the Great Yu Realm enveloped him, and his body suddenly felt heavy as he entered another space.

"Is this the ’Stone Cloud Realm’?"

Chen Yu looked around; he was in a forest area, nearby were giant trees with the thickness of a man, very quiet.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Stone Cloud Realm was not very dense, even worse than the Kunyun Realm. He estimated that the limit of cultivation attainable by the creatures here was most likely the mid-stage or late-stage Sky Sea Realm.

Such powerhouses would be enough to eliminate everyone participating in the assessnt.

But this was also part of the assessnt, hunting creatures below the Sky Sea Realm without alarming the top powerhouses of the Stone Cloud Realm and obtaining Slaughter Points.

"My target is five hundred Slaughter Points, which is sowhat difficult!"

Chen Yu didn’t act rashly but started to contemplate first.

If he hunted a cultivator at the peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm, he would need to kill twenty-five of them, and for Half-step Sky Sea Realm, ten were needed to accumulate five hundred contribution points.

If he killed them one by one, Chen Yu naturally wasn’t afraid, but these were not within his control, so the task still carried a certain degree of danger.

In addition to this task, Chen Yu had another goal, which was to find the "Earth Elent Crystal" ntioned by the Sharp-nosed Elder Liao Sifeng.

This treasure could assist a cultivator in breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm, which was of great use to Chen Yu.

However, acquiring the Earth Elent Crystal certainly wouldn’t be easy.

"Anyway, I should first make a breakthrough to the late-stage peak; then I will have a greater chance,"

Chen Yu had already made a plan in his mind.

His cultivation level was already close to the late-stage peak, ready for a breakthrough at any ti.

Moreover, this was just a minor realm breakthrough and didn’t require a long period; the success rate was also very high.

So Chen Yu decided to break through right now, then go hunt the creatures of the Stone Cloud Realm, pass the assessnt, and beco an Inner Valley Disciple.

His Spiritual Sense swept through and he instantly found a shallow cave on a small hillside not far from the forest.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu swiftly flew toward it and entered the cave.

Afterward, he released the Red Fla King.

"I’m going to attempt to reach the late-stage peak. Protect ,"

Chen Yu instructed.

"What realm is this?"

The Red Fla King imdiately realized that they were no longer in the Great Yu Realm.

"Stone Cloud Realm, the second test location of the Black Demon Valley’s assessnt,"

Chen Yu briefly explained, then proceeded to prepare.

The Red Fla King didn’t ask any more questions and lay down at the entrance of the cave, seemingly dozing off.

Chen Yu trusted the Red Fla King, otherwise how could he be at ease?

Whoosh!

Chen Yu took out a bunch of Grade Essence Stones, holding two in each hand, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within them.

His foundation was solid, and he was long ready to attempt reaching the late-stage peak, so the difficulty wasn’t significant.

Circulating the sixth layer of the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record, Demon Pattern True Essence began to travel through the ridians within his body...

...

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Stone Cloud Realm was lower than in the Kunyun Realm, and its area was also much smaller.

On a small hill, two individuals under assessnt encountered each other.

One was a mber of the Black Demon Valley, the other from the Heavenly Jade Sect.

Such encounters were bound to have one outco.

"Die!"

The robust man from the Heavenly Jade Sect roared, wielding a giant axe as he attacked the slender woman.

His cultivation was at the peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm, while the slender woman was only in the Late Guiyuan Realm.

Boom!

The robust man swung his giant axe violently, releasing a huge, dark yellow axe shadow that swept out.

Swoosh!

The slender woman, sensing the strength of her opponent, didn’t et the attack head-on and used a movent technique, leaving behind a black afterimage.

Bang!

The axe shadow released by the robust man furiously swept past, destroying the slender woman’s afterimage and even leveling the top of the small hill.

"Bad luck running into !"

The robust man’s montum was ferocious as he coldly shouted.

But just then, the entire hill began to shake, and a rumbling sound ca from underground.

"What’s happening?"

The robust man suddenly felt an incredibly powerful aura erging from below.

The slender woman felt the impending danger too, fear overwhelming her as she turned to escape.

Bang!

The hillside suddenly exploded, and from within, a heavy black shadow flew out, instantly striking the slender woman.

The slender woman’s body was bashed in two, falling down.

It was then that the robust man saw what hit the slender woman: a gigantic stone.

At the sa ti, a massive figure stood up.

It was a giant made entirely of rock, huge and muscular, resembling a small hill, emitting an imnsely powerful oppressive aura. In front of it, the robust man looked like a tiny ant.

On the rock giant’s head were two faintly red crystals, its eyes, now looking down at the robust man.

"Stone race, Hill Giant!"

The robust man stared at the rock giant before him, his body trembling involuntarily, eyes filled with fear.

The Stone Cloud Realm was a realm of different races, and the inhabitants were the Stone race.

Hill Giants, one of the many species within the Stone race, were massive like hills, possessed extraordinary strength capable of splitting mountains and rivers, and could throw massive boulders as a ranged thod of attack!

The Hill Giants had robust innate abilities, drawing strength from the earth to enhance their cultivation. They spent most of their lives in slumber, yet their cultivation continued to rise, granting them terrifying power.

The robust man had never expected to encounter such a powerful being from the Stone race.

Its presence felt eerily close to the Sky Sea Realm!

Roar!

The Hill Giant bellowed, seemingly in a rage.

A huge, dim whirlwind, filled with countless rocks, iron chunks, and other tals, burst forth.

Ding ding bang!

The brawny man raised his axe, conjured a True Essence Shield, and defended with all his might.

Chunks of iron and broken stones bombarded him, producing a series of noises.

Boom!

The hill suddenly reached out with its hand, a giant rocky palm, carrying a terrifying oppressive force, crashing down.

The instant the giant palm descended, the brawny man’s rain shield shattered.

Boom bang!

A loud noise resounded as the Hill Giant’s hand left a massive imprint on the ground, and a cloud of explosive dust scattered in all directions.

Afterward, it turned and walked away, each step accompanied by a loud boom.

As for the giant palm imprint, it was a blur of blood and flesh!

After the Hill Giant had left, a figure shot out from the nearby pile of rubble.

"Hill Giants are too terrifying," said the man in a jade crown, with a face of refined features, in exclamation.

He had heard the sound of fighting and rushed over, hiding nearby. He originally planned to wait until the brawny man and the slender woman had worn each other down before making a move.

But unexpectedly, the Hill Giant appeared and eliminated both of them with lightning-fast thods.

The jade-crowned man turned and walked away, heading in a different direction.

He was a prodigy from the Lu Family, a two-star half-clan of the Southern Domain, with a cultivation at the late peak of the Guiyuan Realm. After arriving here, he was very bold, thinking that passing the assessnt would be a breeze.

But now, he had beco extrely cautious.

"Eh? Such a strong fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!"

The jade-crowned man suddenly sensed a surge of Qi and walked over slowly.

Gradually, he saw a giant energy vortex appear above a small hill.

"Who is breaking through!" surmised the jade-crowned man.

The ti of breakthrough is when disturbance from others is most taboo, because at that mont, the person breaking through could not exert strong abilities and could not easily stop the process, otherwise, they would suffer backlash.

"No matter if it’s a human or a mber of the Stone Clan, kill them all!" he decided in his heart.

The other party was in the middle of a breakthrough, so this battle would be very easy.

Killing the Stone Clan mbers would grant Slaughter Points, and killing humans would allow him to obtain their storage bags.

This was the Stone Cloud Realm. No matter who he killed, as long as no one saw and no traces were left behind, there would be no issues.

"Eh? There’s also an ancient beast protector, it seems a human is breaking through!"

After getting closer, the jade-crowned man spotted the Red Fla King and made this guess.

As he approached, the jade-crowned man saw the person inside the cave clearly.

"Chen Yu!"

The jade-crowned man beca incredibly excited, his eyes brimming with a killing intent.

Logically speaking, Chen Yu had only offended the Cui Clan and the You Clan, with no contact with the other clans, let alone conflict.

However, the Lu Family’s prodigy had all begun targeting Chen Yu.

All because of Yan Hanshan.

When Yan Hanshan had rushed over to Ascend to Heaven’s Peak and learned that Chen Yu had defeated the talents of the Cui Clan and advanced to the eighty-first step.

Initially, Yan Hanshan thought Chen Yu, having offended the Cui Clan, was as good as dead. But it was then he learned that even the Cui Clan, in the second round of assessnts, could not deal with Chen Yu.

At the sa ti, Chen Yu’s performance made Yan Hanshan sowhat worried.

So, Yan Hanshan contacted various clan families and promised that whoever killed Chen Yu, he would change his last na and join their clan.

Yan Hanshan was also a genius of the Heavenly Jade Sect, the first in the outer sect competition, and had already entered the inner sect, with limitless potential for the future.

Moreover, Yan Hanshan was also a disciple of an elder!

Thus, many clan powers were eager to bring this genius into their ranks, especially those aligned with the Heavenly Jade Sect.

The Lu Family was among them.

"What a godsent opportunity, Chen Yu actually began his breakthrough just after entering the Stone Cloud Realm, and even better, I ca across him. Hahahaha!"

The man in the jade crown couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, but he still restrained himself, waiting to be happy after killing Chen Yu.

He recognized the Spirit Pet guarding Chen Yu, the ancient beast Fire Qilin, but the Fire Qilin was incredibly lazy, actually lying down, fast asleep, shirking its duty.

He slowly approached, and when he had reached a certain distance, he suddenly drew a precious sword and launched a swift attack.

Swoosh!

A golden sword aura suddenly brightened, illuminating Red Fla King’s face with golden light.

Suddenly, Red Fla King opened his eyes and spouted a huge pillar of fla.

Boom bang!

The pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, instantly burning the golden sword aura to nothing.

"How is this possible?"

The jade-crowned man was instantly stunned.

Red Fla King’s response was too fast, almost opening his eyes the mont the jade-crowned man made his move, and effortlessly shattered the latter’s attack. This was a heavy blow to the jade-crowned man who, after all, was a genius of the Lu Family, a two-star half-clan.

The jade-crowned man thought he must have underperford just now and decided to attack again.

However, the Fire Qilin at the entrance of the cave had vanished. When he felt the presence, he imdiately looked up.

Boom!

Above the sky, a fire-red, intensely hot fireball suddenly fell.

The jade-crowned man even thought there were two suns in the sky!

"Not good…"

He sensed a strong sense of crisis and cried out in alarm.

He imdiately retreated and took out his Token, contacting the nearby Lu Family mbers.

Boom bang!

The fireball plumted, its intensely hot waves rolling out in all directions, with one wave striking the jade-crowned man.

He was instantly enveloped in flas, becoming a human torch, with his cries of agony resounding continuously.

The nearby flas kept converging towards him.

Within ten breaths, the jade-crowned man was reduced to a pile of char.

"Sigh, dead is dead, but he still sent a transmission. With his dying breath, he tried to drag his clan mbers down with him, what a troublemaker,"

Muttered Red Fla King, smirking coldly as he returned to the cave entrance to continue sleeping.
