I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1660 The Heart of the Sky Demon

Back during the Ancient Zenith Civilization, humanity had developed into an extremely prosperous period. They had invaded other dimensions, and one of them was called the Demon Realm. This realm was different from other realms. It had no spirit energy and was instead filled with demonic energy.

And this realm was occupied by demons of every kind. The most famous of them all were the sky demons. They were the representative of all demonkind.

When the Demon Realm was discovered, a long war between humans and demons began. Both sides became entangled, and the existence of demons became present through the entire history of mankind ever since.

The roots of the demonic path that was now popular came from the demons. There were differences between the humans and demons. Some people could not resist the enticement of the demons and willingly degenerated into pawns, becoming something known as human-demons.

These human-demons served as the vanguard of the demons’ attack on humans. They were called mad dogs. When the demons retreated to the Demon Realm, the human-demons took the opportunity to become independent and established their own race to cause trouble.

On another hand, some mighty figures among the humans willingly walked the demonic path when the human world was in its most dangerous time to find out the secrets of the demons. They gave up the cultivation of spirit energy and specialized in cultivating demonic energy. They opened up a completely different path from the cultivation of spirit energy. This then gave birth to many sects.

These were two completely different demonic paths, and they were the two main streams at present.

It had been many years since a real demon was seen. During the ancient war, the connection between the Demon Realm and the human world had been exiled into the endless void. In addition to the continuous encirclement and suppression of Grand Xia over the years, it was rare to see pure demons in this world.

Chu Yunfan could see that this demon was emaciated. All the muscles and skin on the demon’s body was flabby. Even the luster of his scales had disappeared.

This was clearly an old sky demon. Although the lifespan of a sky demon was far longer than that of ordinary human martial art practitioners, they would eventually die of old age.

Chu Yunfan immediately understood that these wandering undead were being controlled by this old sky demon. These undead had received a distress signal sent by the sky demon and rushed here to frantically to protect it.

Around the demonic energy pool were thousands of figures. Each of these figures was an expert at the Abstract Stage or above. There were a few Abstracts, but most of them were in the Void Observance Stage. Some were even in the Void Interpretation Stage.

And these experts were crazily attacking the sky demon, but they were held back by countless undead.

Everyone wanted to take down the sky demon. Aside from the demons and humans being mortal enemies, the sky demon had something humans coveted—the heart of a sky demon.

The demon’s heart was the source of all the demonic power in the sky demon’s body. It was an extremely precious material. But a sky demon was at least an existence that surpassed the Abstract Stage. They were top-tier demons. If this sky demon was at its peak, these people would not dare to be so impudent. But since this sky demon was old, it was a different matter.

Many people were ecstatic because they never expected to come across such a fortuitous encounter when they had come here to kill Lone Star. A sky demon heart was an extremely pure energy core. For humans, even if they could only convert and use a small portion of the energy, it would allow their cultivation to advance one step further. Chu Yunfan was naturally very clear about this, even more so than most people.

He looked around and soon found Fan Shixin and the others. As expected, they had also found the sky demon. They were killing the undead that were crazily attacking them.

They were surrounded by danger, but to obtain the sky demon heart, everyone was not afraid of danger and attacked with all their might. These were all experts at the Void Observance Stage, or even the Void Interpretation Stage. Even in the Flying Celestials, they were considered seed disciples, and were completely different from ordinary inner disciples. They were the future true disciples, and their status could not be mentioned in the same breath as inner disciples. In the absence of true disciples, they could be considered important figures in a region. However, they could be seen almost everywhere here.

It was unknown how many Interpreters there were. At least a hundred of them were at Interpreters, and the rest were at the Observers. Ordinary Voids like Huang Feng were extremely rare.

‘There are so many people fighting for the sky demon heart.’ Chu Yunfan’s expression turned cold. He wanted to fight for the sky demon heart too, but there were too many competitors. If he had the heart, he was confident that he could make a Sky Demon Pill specially made by an Alchemy Emperor. It would not be difficult for his cultivation to advance further.

Right now, Chu Yunfan did not have the luxury of time. If he could speed up his cultivation, he would not hesitate.

“If I use the proper method, I won’t have to share the sky demon heart.”

Chu Yunfan had many trump cards. He had the hou transformation, the Sword Light Talisman, the Mountain River Cauldron, and so on. He had both offense and defense. However, there was a time limit and his items were limited. When dealing with a single person, he was naturally invincible. But against so many experts, it was unlikely that he would succeed.

‘In that case, I’ll use my wits,’ Chu Yunfan thought.

With a flash, he rushed straight into the sky demon pool. No one noticed this change. On the one hand, Chu Yunfan had hidden himself too well, and on the other hand, no one should be hiding here because the demonic energy here was so dense that it was terrifying.

The protective energy shield of an ordinary Abstract would be completely eroded in an instant. Then, they would either be invaded by the demonic energy and turn into a human-demon or die. But for Chu Yunfan, this was like a fish in water.

He continued to circulate the Celestial Devouring Art and continuously absorbed the liquid demonic energy. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, at least ten times faster than when he absorbed ordinary demonic energy.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan was getting closer and closer to the sky demon.
