Now, as a terrifying devil that was feared and despised by the world, he would eat a bowl of porridge given by her earnestly and then give her an entire spiritual mine in return.

“Chong Yan…” Yao Yao whimpered.

Chong Yan carefully observed her expression and felt that she seemed a little unhappy.

He pondered. She had exchanged small stones with that one. This one was too big.

So, Chong Yan, raised his hand, and released a burst of blue ice flames.

The entire spiritual mine was tempered by Chong Yan’s ice flames. Countless ice blades and bone spurs emerged from the air, instantaneously dividing the entire mine into stones. It turned into a mountain-like high-grade spirit stone.

Chong Yan stared at her until she packed the entire mountain into her treasure chest like a little hamster before slowly closing his eyes.

Chong Yan’s face was as pale as paper, and a buzzing sound echoed in his ears.

The bone spurs uncontrollably emerged from his arms and fingertips, and the restless pain of chaos surged within him. That eye began to freeze and ache once again.

Yao Yao turned around and realized that his pupils had dilated once again.

She was startled, and the shallow golden spiritual flow in her palm immediately emerged, gently enveloping him to examine his body.

“Chong Yan…”

But Chong Yan raised his hand, pressing against his throbbing right eye.

“Don’t… don’t look.”

“The seals you left in the ancient demon’s body cannot be removed by themselves, making it difficult to use divine power.”

“Now, the ancient demon can only barely maintain itself. Once it uses the power of the divine eye, it may self-destruct at any moment. So, you still have a chance.”

The flames burned in the lamp, and the voice that came out was from the envoy of the Jun Capital City.

“You must obtain that heart.”

Li Cangyan, who had been dug out of the ground, had been lying on the bed for several days.

As the only person who directly faced the ancient demon in close combat during the outburst, he did receive the recognition of the entire Spirit Continent. However, he also suffered from broken bones, damaged meridians, and a swollen face from being buried in the ground for a long time.

But he didn’t die. Perhaps it was the luck given to him by the heavens.

The flames in the lamp burned the powder that calmed his meridians, healing his severe injuries.

Li Cangyan couldn’t help but clench his hand tightly. Yao Yao had still been taken away by that devil.

He was now severely weakened, and when he was first dug out of the ground, he was on the verge of death. It took several days of intense treatment to regain consciousness. If Yao Yao’s bloodline power was with him, he would have recovered much faster.

The flames seemed to understand his thoughts and faintly spoke.

“That devil may have also learned about the unique bloodline power of the Ji family, but blood alone is not enough to break the seals.”

“Once you can intercept the heart of the ancient demon, everything in this world will be at your fingertips.”

Countless people throughout the Spirit Continent were watching, and the Eastern Sea was even more like a towering platform by the water. Since they had failed to successfully separate the ancient demon’s body, the Canglan Grand Event had become a battleground.

“The Deep Sea snake doesn’t appreciate many things. You must give it something it likes.”

“Remember, this heart is crucial for you.”

“You must seek the help of the Sea God.”

The flames dissipated with a snap, leaving behind a totem of the Eastern Sea Black Snake.

Li Cangyan felt the intense pain throughout his body, and his eyes reignited with hope.

Su Yilin came out, limping, but her voice was full of deep affection. “Brother Cangyan, I’ll assist you.”

In this battle, Su Yilin had fought alongside him, facing similar circumstances. This unwavering loyalty was truly moving.

Li Cangyan emotionally spoke, “Yilin…”

Although Su Yilin was in pain all over, the thought of Yao Yao still being tortured and retaliated against by that devil made her feel that her own pain was much less.

When she helped Brother Cangyan obtain the heart of the divine and demonic, and finally had the opportunity to slay the devil, perhaps she would also witness the torment inflicted upon Yao Yao by the raging ancient demon.

That devil tortured her and then weakened himself infinitely. In the end, the world would be theirs.

“Brother Cangyan, rest assured. Have you forgotten? I am a koi fish,” Su Yilin said playfully.

“The Sea God will definitely like you.”

A small earthquake occurred in the eastern part of the Spirit Continent, and now everyone in the various realms was on edge, fearing the descent of the ancient demon.

However, when the locals cautiously investigated, they found only a fissure without anything else.

“It must be the blessing of the Deep Sea God.”

“Thank you, Sea God.”

Meanwhile, Yao Yao was taken by Chong Yan to the secluded valley.

Then, he fell into confusion once again.

Yao Yao crouched beside him, her eyes glistening with moisture.

So, he couldn’t forcefully use divine power now.

Before retrieving his heart, Chong Yan’s body still had many issues. It could erupt at any moment, like a bomb.

How could he go to the deep sea like this? He definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat the big black snake.

The tail behind Chong Yan was no longer under control, flicking anxiously. Pale demonic horns faintly emerged on his forehead but were forcefully suppressed.

The seals on the rose were still corroding his body. It was difficult for him to maintain his current human form, and the chaos brought by the divine meteor eye and the overwhelming power continued to rampage within his soul.

In pain, Chong Yan could only lift his hand to cover half of his face, his heart sinking in the chill.

“Don’t look.”

He wanted to give something back to her, but he lost control. He was like a useless waste.
