How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Black Iron Tribe had fallen, and all personnel began to retreat.

Along the way, when passing by certain large tribes, they found that there were hardly any people left, almost evacuated.

"The attack of the Fire Beasts is all-encompassing, and the personnel from these large tribes have also been dispatched to various regions to participate in battle..."

the middle-aged man in black armor said.

Among them, only half of the team he led consisted of members from the High Mountain Tribe, with the rest being powerful figures from other large tribes.

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered.

Many thought that only this area was facing the onslaught of the Fire Beast tide.

It turned out that the tribal region, in all directions, was facing the assault of the Fire Beast tide.

Moreover, the tribes in other directions not only faced the Fire Beast tide but also sand bandits who participated and included those who could command the Fire Beasts in these attacks.

The attacks these tribes faced were even more intense and the battle situations were brutal.

Some tribes didn't have the chance to evacuate their women and children in time before they fell, continually retreating, some of whom had already retreated to the High Mountain Tribe.

Black Iron Tribe was the place that had guarded for the longest time.

So, this all turned out to be Chen Yu's credit.

Had it not been for him and Fu Beiling and others who first annihilated the sand bandits' den, then killed the withered-faced old man, and finally slaughtered the Fire Beasts there, the Black Iron Tribe would have ended up like the other regional tribes.

"These Fire Beasts, there must be someone controlling them!"

"And also, the Fire Demon Sand Bandits are actually colluding with the Fire Beast horde..."

Many were deeply worried.

The Fire Demon Sand Bandits were originally incredibly formidable, although they had been crushed once by the tribes years ago, yet now, they had joined forces with the Fire Beasts, declaring war on all tribes.

In less than half a day, the people finally arrived at the High Mountain Tribe.

Surprisingly, the Fire Beasts stopped chasing them midway.

The High Mountain Tribe, like a nation situated atop a high slope, was majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Thirteen teams, return!"

the middle-aged man in black armor called out loudly.

"Open the city gate!"

In front of the city wall, the huge city gate gradually rose.

After entering the High Mountain Tribe, everyone's emotions inevitably relaxed.

After arranging accommodations for the group, the middle-aged man in black armor and others left.

Chen Yu roamed around, observing the first tribe of the Red Earth World.

This was no longer like a tribe, more fitting to be called a small nation; Chen Yu estimated that even if all other tribes combined, they could not compare to the High Mountain Tribe.

Walking into the trade market of the High Mountain Tribe, high-year Fire-related precious materials could be seen everywhere.

Due to the special period, the prices of these materials were high, but still much cheaper than in Kunyun Continent.

"Buying Fire Cores, Postnatal Late Stage Fire Cores, 100 jin of Fire Iron Stone!"

"Buying Postnatal Early Stage Fire Cores!"

Moreover, the hottest items were the Fire Cores, whose value was soaring.

After all, Fire Cores could directly enhance the strength of Fire Dao Practitioners, and in such a special period, increasing one's strength even slightly increased the chances of survival.

"Prices are this high?"

Chen Yu was slightly tempted.

However, he resisted the urge, believing that as the war started, the value of the Fire Cores would continue to rise.

After strolling around, Chen Yu returned to his residence.

"Brave Chen, the Clan Leader would like to see you!"

A man from the High Mountain Tribe had been waiting for quite some time.

"Oh?"

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.

Being summoned by the High Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader was no small matter and called for caution.

Following the man's lead, Chen Yu went to the core area of the High Mountain Tribe.

"Come in!"

As Chen Yu approached the grand hall, a loud and aged voice came from inside, causing a slight stir in Chen Yu's heart.

Entering the grand hall, Chen Yu saw, seated at the top-most position, a white-haired old man dressed in a white robe, looking dignified and commanding, his eyes shining bright; he must clearly be the Clan Leader of the High Mountain Tribe.

"Guiyuan Realm!"

Chen Yu sensed the aura emanating from the person.

In addition to the High Mountain Clan Leader, there were quite a few others present, mostly in the Late Innate stage, and the least being in the Innate Middle Stage.

Among them, the young man in black armor who had helped the Black Iron Tribe resist the Fire Beasts was seated at the lowest position.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu not only saw Fu Beiling but also some unexpected "acquaintances."

Next to Fu Beiling, there were a young man in white and a young man in a green robe, both of whom were Dou Nanhua and Jiangling Yuan from No Demon Academy.

Though surprised, Chen Yu soon understood.

These two must have learned that he came to the Red Earth World and followed him.

"Hehe!"

Jiangling Yuan and Dou Nanhua were both staring at Chen Yu, faces filled with smiles.

They were commanded by Luo Haotian to come to the Red Earth World, solely to kill Chen Yu.

Unfortunately, they hadn't encountered Chen Yu thus far.

They would have preferred that Chen Yu died in the attack of the Fire Beast tide, sparing them the trouble.

Seeing Chen Yu now, although it shattered their hopes, they were also very pleased.

Killing Chen Yu with their own hands was even better, not to mention Chen Yu had a fair amount of treasures on him.

On the other side, Fu Beiling looked at Chen Yu, showing an unnatural expression.

"Chen Yu, over here!"

the middle-aged man in black armor called out.

Chen Yu moved over and took a seat next to him.

"Clan Leader, this man is the one who contributed the most in resisting the Fire Beast tide!"

the middle-aged man in black armor respectfully said.

"Good, I did not expect that amidst such a disaster for our tribe, we also accomplished many valiant fellows. You folks, if you perform well in this war, once the war is over, you'll be able to directly join the internal ranks of the High Mountain Tribe!"

The High Mountain Clan Leader said with a smile, speaking earnestly.

"Directly join the internal ranks of the High Mountain Tribe?"

Many present were inwardly shocked.

For individuals from other tribes wanting to join the High Mountain Tribe, it was incredibly difficult, let alone becoming a member of the internal High Mountain Tribe.

"Thank you for the Clan Leader's generous love, we will certainly exert our utmost effort!"

Dou Nanhua said with a humble smile and gentle demeanor.

He was not interested in these matters at all; this gesture was merely to avoid detection of his true identity.

Next, the high-ranking leaders of the High Mountain Tribe discussed wartime strategies, such as the distribution of combat power.

Chen Yu was surprisingly assigned to Dou Nanhua's team.

Soon, the meeting ended.

"Chen Yu, why do you look so unhappy to see your senior?"

Dou Nanhua came over with a smile.

"Now that the Red Earth World is in chaos, we are all from the same academy. Helping each other is the only way to survive!"

Jiangling Yuan also said with a smile in a low voice.

Ignoring the two, Chen Yu returned to his residence.

"There is only one Ice Snow Lotus left!"

Chen Yu took out Ice Snow Lotus, Moon Spirit Ore, Fire Spirit Ginseng, and other rare materials to craft a batch of Ice and Fire Body Tempering Liquid.

After swallowing it, Chen Yu began his Body Refinement process.

Right after that, he summoned a trace of "Blood Crystal Flame" for Body Refining.

After some time, the effects of the potion were depleted.

Feeling his Copper Statue Gang Body, Chen Yu's eyes shone brightly, "My Copper Statue Gang Body has reached its peak. It won't be long before I can advance to the True Copper Statue."

Half a month passed.

Woooo~

Within the High Mountain Tribe, the howling sound like fierce beasts roaring erupted.

"Get moving, the battle has started!"

"Sand bandits and Fire Beasts are attacking!"

All the combatants in the tribe sprang into action.

Upon reaching the city walls, Chen Yu saw an uncountable number of Fire Beasts and sand bandits surrounding the entire High Mountain Tribe.

Fortunately, the High Mountain Tribe had a geographical advantage for defense.

"Chen Yu, this is where we will defend!"

Not far away, Dou Nanhua shouted.

At a glance, besides Dou Nanhua and Jiangling Yuan, the hooked-nosed man and the beautiful woman from the Dark Night Exchange Meeting were also present.

The battle was intense. However, for the elites from the No Demon Academy and others, it was relatively easy to handle.

Chen Yu did not hide his Fire Scale Beast either, setting it loose to assist in the fight.

By the end of the day, Dou Nanhua and the others hadn't found an opportunity to deal with Chen Yu.

After all, the main strategy was defense at this time; they couldn't overtly attack Chen Yu.

"This kid is really lucky; I heard he got a nearly ruined hatching egg at the Dark Night Exchange Meeting, and it hatched a Fire Scale Beast!"

Dou Nanhua stared enviously at Chen Yu's mount.

"Hmph, once he is dead, the Fire Scale Beast will be ours!"

Jiangling Yuan snorted softly.

Half a month quickly passed, and the High Mountain Tribe and the Fire Beast horde continuously fought, with countless deaths and injuries.

Among the Fire Beasts, many had swallowed a large number of fire cores, continuously evolving their power.

On the tribe's side, people rapidly enhanced their strength through the fire cores they obtained.

While defending the city, Chen Yu honed his Shocking Evil Sword Technique through combat, and during rest, he cultivated his Copper Statue Gang Body.

Having no Ice Snow Lotus left, Chen Yu could only create other potions for refinement. Though they were less effective, it was better than nothing.

One day, Chen Yu also found that crushing fire cores into the potion significantly enhanced its Body Refinement effects.

With this, Chen Yu was confident that he could cultivate the Copper Statue Technique to the True Copper Statue realm before leaving the Red Earth World.

The war grew more intense.

Boom!

In the distant horizon, dark red clouds churned, and a searing wave of fire surged towards the High Mountain Tribe.

"What's happening?"

Chen Yu, who was refining, was disturbed and stepped outside his house.

He barely caught sight of a red figure within the dark red clouds, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"The Guiyuan Realm!"

Chen Yu's expression tightened.

At the same moment, two figures flew out from the High Mountain Tribe, both in the Guiyuan Realm; one with pale red hair and the other was the High Mountain Clan Chief.

"Ha ha, brother, we meet again."

From afar, the red-robed elder laughed sinisterly, looking at the High Mountain Clan Chief.

"Gao Tianyun, you've colluded with the Fire Beasts!"

The clan chief's face was filled with anger.

"I've told you before, he was beyond saving. If you had been ruthless back then, this wouldn't have happened!"

The pale-haired elder said to the clan chief.

Previously, Gao Yunshan had colluded with the sand bandits to attack the High Mountain Tribe and failed.

In the end, the High Mountain Clan Chief had shown mercy and spared his life.

"This time, I will definitely kill him!"

The clan chief's gaze was deep as he stared at the red-robed elder.

High Mountain Tribe.

"What a sin!"

"Gao Yunshan was originally the clan chief's own brother, yet he chose a completely opposite path!"

The high-ranking members of the High Mountain Tribe sighed.

Chen Yu was also stunned; he hadn't expected that the leader of the Fire Demon Sand Bandits used to be from the High Mountain Tribe and was the clan chief's own brother.

What exactly caused the red-robed elder to take an opposing stand? To become an enemy of the High Mountain Tribe and his own brother?

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me then!"

The face of the red-robed elder turned stern as he looked at the High Mountain Clan Chief, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes.

Whoosh whoosh!

Beside him, the fire waves churned, and suddenly, a Fire Beast appeared.

This Fire Beast was huge, with a face like a lion-tiger, covered in golden mystical markings on its fiery red body, and its tail was a long red snake, flicking out its tongue.

It was only at the Late Innate stage, but the ancient beast's imposing presence it emitted was not inferior to the Guiyuan Realm's.

"An ancient beast, the Snake-tailed Lion!"

The High Mountain Clan Chief's eyes widened.

Roar!

The Snake-tailed Lion let out a thunderous roar, turning into a golden-red shadow, and pounced towards the pale-haired elder.

On the other side, the red-robed elder and the High Mountain Clan Chief attacked simultaneously, engaging in fierce battle.

In an instant.

An entire section of the sky was engulfed by the surging fire waves, with roaring sounds inside, shaking the heavens and earth.
