Chaotic Conceited God - C99

“In fact, if His Highness the Ninth Prince is unable to obtain nine Rank 10 Ferocious Hearts within the prescribed period of half a year, Father would be unable to condense the Nine Revolutions Blood Crystal. This means that he might not be able to resist the invasion of the Frozen Wind Empire.”

“At that time, the Great Ming Empire will be the one to suffer losses, and thousands and thousands of civilians will be killed. Do you really want to watch these innocent lives die?”

These words were also what Jiang Shiyu was thinking. She really couldn’t understand why such a talented person like Ming Yu would fall into such a trap.

Even Ye Xi and the others, who were standing behind Jiang Shiyu, had expressions of puzzlement on their faces.

Ming Yu had a mocking expression on his face. These words were obviously his own to say!

Would I watch the countless citizens of the Ming Dynasty bleed and die innocently? I will not. On the contrary, I will save the whole world!

Right now, Ming Yu could totally defend himself and tell them everything about Ming Xuan’s plot to kill his father and steal his power, but was this really useful? Once, Ming Yu was hot-blooded and indignant. He ran over to Ming Chenyuan to explain everything clearly, but what was the result? But Ming Chenyuan did not believe him at all!

He had already been hurt once by his own father, so how could he take the risk of being injured a second time and treat others with true love?

Furthermore, it was impossible for Ming Yu to tell Jiang Shiyu about Ming Xuan’s scheme.

If Ming Yu had said so, Jiang Shiyu would definitely have asked Ming Xuan.

There was no doubt that Ming Xuan had a grudge against her and wanted to kill her, but the crux of the issue was that if Jiang Shiyu asked, then Jiang Shiyu would be the one to be suspected. Before the plot was completed, in order to seal Jiang Shiyu’s mouth, Ming Xuan might have taken the opportunity to kill her in the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World!

From how mercilessly Ming Xuan had used his area-based killing move to attack the river five days ago, it could be seen that he was ruthless and did not care what methods he used!

If the other four girls were to hear this secret, their lives would also be in danger!

So could Ming Yu say? He couldn’t say.

No matter who it was, Ming Yu couldn’t reveal this secret right now. As long as he was in the dark, he would be able to deal a heavy blow to Ming Xuan at the last moment!

“If you only wanted to tell me these things, then regretfully, you did not move me at all. I still have things that I will not tell you anymore.” Ming Yu replied indifferently and prepared to leave once more.

“Wait!”

Jiang Shiyu’s frown deepened. “Mingyu, leave the heart of the Fiery Golden Lion behind. If you do this, I guarantee that the Ninth Prince won’t blame you.”

“I’m sorry, but the things I’ve obtained will never be handed over. Goodbye.”

After he finished speaking, Ming Yu didn’t hesitate and retreated into the distance. In just a few breaths’ time, a huge mountain appeared before him and he disappeared from this place.

“What’s so amazing about that? Earlier, that selfish guy tried his best to condense formation runes. It might have seemed that he was trying to escape for us, but isn’t it actually also trying to escape for his own life?” A woman complained.

“If he can hide, he can’t hide from fifteen. There will be a day when he will receive his due retribution.” Another woman said.

Ye Xi also frowned. She didn’t think that Ming Yu would make such a foolish choice.

“Alright, let’s not continue the discussion and look for His Royal Highness the ninth prince together.” Jiang Shiyu gave the order.

Before leaving, Jiang Shiyu gazed deeply in the direction that Ming Yu had left in. For some reason, she couldn’t help but feel that Ming Yu was not as simple as he looked.

“…”

After leaving Jiang Shiyu and the others, Ming Yu trekked for around two hours before he found an extremely remote place without any signs of human life or vicious beasts. He found a cave inside, shattered some rocks, and sealed up the cave.

Once again, he took out the firefly lamp and infused it with his zhenqi. The lantern then lit up with an orange light.

At this time, Ming Yu couldn’t wait any longer. With a flick of his wrist, a giant scarlet-gold heart appeared in his hand.

This giant heart emitted a blinding light that was many times stronger than a firefly’s light, illuminating the surroundings.

At the same time, the terrifying fire energy within caused the temperature of the surrounding air to rise, and the originally cold cave instantly turned into a roasting furnace.

Ming Yu’s eyes reflected the scarlet-gold radiance of the giant heart. In the next moment, he was already fully prepared, and placed the giant scarlet-gold heart into the ancient jade in his chest.

Gu Yu didn’t reject this giant golden red heart at all. On the contrary, an excited feeling began to frantically convert the energy in his heart.

The Fierce Lion of Golden Flame was the king of all beasts. As a rank 10 fiend, whether it’s energy or bloodline, it was considered the best amongst rank 10 fiends. Because of this, its heart was of the extreme yang attribute, and it was suitable for Ming Yu to use it to forge a yin and yang body.

The eighth form of the yin and yang arts, the yin and yang body, was divided into two parts. The first was to cultivate the spirit and the body to be extremely yin, and the second was to fuse yin and yang to form a true yin and yang body!

This was the first step that Ming Yu was going to take. He already had the Yin energy, and now was the time to cultivate the blood and flesh of the Ji Yang!

“Hua!”

Gu Yu transformed into an extremely pure energy, and an incomparably hot energy instantly rushed into Ming Yu’s limbs and bones.

Even though Ming Yu’s body was already forged to be extremely tough, Ming Yu still sucked in a breath of cold air under the metal flame berserk lion’s scorching energy.

The scorching energy flowed into his body, as if boiling water had rushed into his meridians. A burning sensation instantly spread through his body, causing Ming Yu’s eyes to twitch!

Ming Yu clenched her teeth, continuously resisting the wave after wave of heat coming from the ancient jade. Her whole body was in a terrible state of torment, and sweat was already seeping out from her forehead.

Although the heat was unexpected, it was still within reason.

The lion’s combat power was extraordinary to begin with. With its terrifying combat power, even Ming Xuan had no choice but to use such a large force to kill it. If Ming Yu were to meet the lion, he would definitely be unable to defeat it.

Even if this piece of fat meat fell into Ming Yu’s hands, he would still need the ability to absorb it.

If it was anyone else who dared to boldly absorb the berserk lion at the seventh level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, that would be equivalent to suicide. The berserk lion energy would basically be burnt to death if it entered the body.

But Ming Yu was different. He cultivated the extreme yin yang technique, and his physical fitness was beyond imagination. Not only that, but his body’s resistance to fire-attribute energy was extremely strong, and it was precisely this that caused Ming Yu to be able to withstand it.

However, even so, Ming Yu was still suffering because of the lion’s pure energy!

Large drops of sweat rolled down Ming Yu’s face. He grit his teeth and persevered for a full half day. He was almost able to adapt to this scorching heat.

Ming Yu seemed to be at a delicate point. He was in extreme pain, on the verge of collapse, but he still held on!

At the same time, Ming Yu’s body crazily absorbed the pure energy of the lion. His muscles, tendons, bones, blood, and skin were all undergoing changes, causing his body to become tougher and tougher!

In this situation, Ming Yu was actually able to endure more and more of that terrifying power!

Just like this, five days had passed and Mingyu had already absorbed a third of the Golden Flames Ferocious Lion’s heart energy. He could see a golden red light shining on his skin.

Ming Yu could clearly feel that his entire body was emitting a scorching and wild fire energy. It was as if he were a small sun in a cave, emitting a bright red light!

Immediately after, another three days had passed. Mingyu had already absorbed two-thirds of the Golden Flame Lion’s energy, and scarlet flames were flying around his body.

This was different from burning blood; burning blood was the boiling of blood within Ming Yu’s body, it was an internal stimulation. But now, these flames directly burned out from his body, and Ming Yu had a feeling that a fire seed would take root within his body, and he himself would actually be able to begin producing flames!

This was definitely an omen of reaching the yin and yang attribute. Ming Xuan’s lightning attribute body was able to spontaneously produce thunder and lightning!

In addition, Ming Yu’s physical strength rose once again, and she could feel the flesh on his body become even denser.

Originally, Ming Yu could have increased his strength by a lot, but he suppressed it, making his foundation a lot more stable.

Ming Yu estimated that if he were to use Burning Blood now, he would be able to reach the strength of 8200 lions. This was the result of Ming Yu suppressing his entire body’s strength.

Once he reached the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, Ming Yu’s power would once again surge.

However, Ming Yu was already aware of one problem: strength was no longer easy to increase. Initially, after crossing a realm, his strength had doubled, but later on, it gradually slowed down.

This didn’t mean that Yu Yu’s talent and potential were being exhausted, but the more time passed, the harder it was for his cultivation to improve. Many people wouldn’t be able to improve even after 30 to 50 years after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

When Ming Xuan was 16 years old, he had already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage and possessed the strength of 8500 lions.

Ming Xuan had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and his cultivation had soared for more than ten years. However, ever since he had reached the strength of 8500 lions, he had spent four years to grow more than 1000 lions. His speed of growth could only be described as miraculous.

It was just that Ming Yu did not know of this.

Ming Yu was confident in himself. As long as he completely absorbed the energy in the lion’s heart, he would be able to start the second stage of his yin and yang body cultivation!

Blackie, who was in the middle of the ancient jade, naturally noticed Ming Yu’s change. Ever since Ming Yu had escaped from the narrow river bottom, she had been extremely surprised. She hadn’t thought that Ming Yu would actually be able to draw five array patterns within five days.

In addition, now that Ming Yu’s power had changed again, Blackie could feel that Ming Yu was only suppressing his power. Soon, he would be able to break through this boundary and reach the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage!

“I wonder how far my Extreme Seal boundary will be.”

Ming Yu clenched his fists and muttered.

Just as he was about to cultivate again, he heard an extremely heavy, muffled sound!

“BOOM!”

Immediately afterwards, there was a tremor like an earthquake, and Ming Yu was knocked to the ground.

What’s going on?” “Ming Yu forcefully recalled the Golden Flame Lion’s energy from the ancient jade, saving the remaining one-third of its energy. He then broke through the cave entrance and jumped onto a mountain peak, opening his soul touch to look into the distance.

What he saw, however, was that on the back of the mountain range in the distance, a semicircular black outline was revealed. It looked like a gigantic human head, half of it exposed!
