115: Examining offspring, a prodigy astonishes the world.

After the joy of the family reunion, Chu He decided to test the children's cultivation results over the past year.

This was both a father's concern and a way to more accurately plan their future growth paths to deal with the overwhelming crisis that could arrive at any time.

"Tian'er, you go first."

Chu He's gaze fell upon his Eldest Son, Chu Tian.

Among all the children, Chu Tian was the first to be born and the one he had poured the most heart and soul into. He not only perfectly inherited his Primordial Dragon God Bloodline but had also cultivated a simplified version of the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art since childhood.

"Yes, Father!"

Chu Tian, who had already grown into a handsome youth, responded steadily and walked to the center of the courtyard.

He took a deep breath, and his cultivation at the Early Golden Core Stage erupted without reservation. A faint dragon might spread out from him as the center, causing Chu Batian and Chu Lingxi on the side to feel a hint of pressure.

"Please guide me, Father!"

As soon as Chu Tian spoke, his figure moved.

He didn't use any flashy Spells but directly threw a punch!

"Dragon Battles in the Wild!"

Roar!

A high-pitched dragon roar echoed through the clouds as a divine dragon phantom condensed from pure golden mana roared out from his fist, charging straight at Chu He with an overbearing and peerless Aura.

This punch was heavy and powerful, its might far exceeding the scope of an ordinary Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator. Even a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator would probably not dare to take it head-on.

Chu He stood in place, motionless, with an approving smile on his face.

Not until the golden divine dragon was about to strike his face did he slowly extend two fingers and lightly tap the void.

Hum!

Space seemed to freeze.

That imposing golden divine dragon stopped abruptly an inch away from Chu He's finger, unable to advance even a fraction. Then, like a reflection in water or a flower in a mirror, it shattered inch by inch, dissipating into a sky full of light spots.

"Not bad." Chu He withdrew his finger and nodded. "Your understanding of the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art has deepened another layer; your mana is condensed, and your Foundation is solid. With your current strength, an ordinary Great Perfection of Golden Core Stage Cultivator is no match for you."

Receiving his father's praise, a hint of joy appeared on Chu Tian's face, but then he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "But, I feel like the power in my body is sometimes uncontrollable, as if... as if there is another power."

Hearing this, Chu He's eyes moved slightly.

He had noticed it just now.

He walked up to Chu Tian, reached out his palm, and lightly pressed it on his Dantian.

A gentle Soul Transformation Divine Thought instantly entered Chu Tian's body, following his Meridians all the way to his Dantian Qi Sea.

In Chu Tian's golden Dantian, besides that spinning dragon-shaped Golden Core, deep within, there was actually a hidden mass of extremely faint gray air current that emitted an Aura of endless destruction and termination.

This air current was clearly distinct from Chu Tian's Dragon God mana, yet it strangely maintained a kind of balance.

"This is..."

Chu He's brows instantly furrowed.

This Aura was not unfamiliar to him.

It was the Aura of the Star-Devouring Demon Clan!

Although extremely weak, its Origin was exactly the same as the demon soul crystal core he had refined using the Earth Core Beacon!

What was going on? Why was there the Aura of the Demon Race in Tian'er's body?

Could it be that wisp of demonic thought that slipped into the Xuanhuang Realm back then... A terrifying thought rose in Chu He's heart.

He immediately increased the intensity of his Divine Thought's investigation, carefully observing that mass of gray air current.

Soon, he discovered the clue.

That gray air current was not an external parasite, but... it was weirdly fused with Chu Tian's Bloodline Origin!

It was as if it had existed in his Bloodline as a companion energy from the moment Chu Tian was born.

Chu He's heart sank.

He remembered.

Back then, when his wife Qing'er was pregnant with Chu Tian, the System had prompted that because Qing'er's Mortal Bloodline was too weak to fully bear his Primordial Dragon God Bloodline, it caused an unknown "mutation" in the offspring's Bloodline.

At that time, he didn't care much, thinking it was just a slight drop in Bloodline Rank.

Now it seemed that the so-called "mutation" was actually this!

His Primordial Dragon God Bloodline, in the process of combining with the Mortal Bloodline, had somehow derived a wisp of the Star-Devouring Demon Clan's destruction Origin!

Was this a coincidence, or... did his own Primordial Dragon God Bloodline already have some unknown deep connection with the so-called Star-Devouring Demon Clan?

A storm surged in Chu He's heart.

This discovery made him feel more shocked and uneasy than finding the beacon or seeing the Demon Emperor's decree before.

"Father, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?" Chu Tian asked with concern, seeing that Chu He's expression was not right.

"It's nothing."

Chu He instantly retracted all his thoughts, and his face returned to calm.

He took a deep look at his Eldest Son, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This matter could not be told to anyone for the time being.

He patted Chu Tian's shoulder and said gently: "The power you feel is a Companion Force generated by your Bloodline mutation. It is full of destructiveness, but it is also a part of your power. Your cultivation is still too low to control it, which is why you feel it's uncontrollable."

"When you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will personally teach you a technique to show you how to turn this power to your own use. Remember, power has no good or evil; the key lies in the person using it. This power might become your strongest trump card in the future."

Chu He did not choose to forcibly erase that power.

Since it had already integrated with Chu Tian's Bloodline, forcibly stripping it would only damage Chu Tian's Foundation.

Moreover, he had a faint premonition that this strange Companion Force might really play an unexpected role in the future.

"Yes, Father! I understand!" Chu Tian's eyes instantly became extremely firm.

As long as it wasn't a bad thing. Since his father said so, he would no longer dwell on it and would definitely master this power in the future!

After comforting Chu Tian, Chu He turned his gaze to the other children.

"Chu Ce, it's your turn."

"Yes, Father!"

The younger son, Chu Ce, who had been standing beside his grandfather Su Mo and appeared somewhat thin and quiet, immediately ran out upon hearing this.

"How do you want to demonstrate?" Chu He asked with a smile.

"Father, Second Brother is strong. I want to ask Second Brother to break my Formation." Chu Ce pointed to Chu Batian, who was eager to try.

"Alright! Come on! Watch me smash that broken Formation of yours with one punch!" Chu Batian had been waiting impatiently and walked into the field with a laugh.

Chu Ce didn't answer but just waved his small hand.

Hum!

Countless profound Formation runes appeared out of thin air on the ground under his feet. With a flash of light, a complex grand Formation with a radius of a hundred meters was instantly formed, enveloping Chu Batian.

Within the Formation, the sound of clashing weapons rang out, and Sword Qi crisscrossed. Countless sabers, spears, swords, and halberds condensed from spiritual energy attacked Chu Batian like a storm.

It was actually a top-tier fourth-Rank composite Formation of slaughter and illusion!

"Good timing!"

Chu Batian roared, fully activating his True Dragon Battle Physique. Fine dragon scales appeared on his bronze-colored skin. Without dodging, he directly used his fists to strike those Sword Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, the sound of explosions in the Formation was incessant, and airwaves rolled.

However, although Chu Batian was brave, the Formation was endless, the Sword Qi was inexhaustible, and it also carried illusions that confused the mind.

After fifteen minutes, even the incredibly strong Chu Batian was exhausted and panting, with several cuts on his body. Finally, he was tied up tightly by a Formation force, unable to move.

"I lost..." Chu Batian shouted with a face full of defiance.

The whole place was silent.

Everyone was stunned by Chu Ce's ability to create a Formation with a wave of his hand.

Su Mo was so excited that his beard was shaking. He pointed at Chu Ce and shouted at Chu He: "Did you see that! Did you see that! This kid is a natural-born Son of the Dao of Formations! This old man's skills are almost not enough to teach him!"

Chu He also nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of the SSS-Rank Innate Killing Array Dao Fetus; this talent was simply unreasonable.

He waved his hand, dissolved the Formation trapping Chu Batian, and then tested his daughter Chu Yuning.

Chu Yuning didn't move her hands, but just said softly to an ordinary small tree in the courtyard: "Bloom."

In the next moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, that small tree actually violated the seasonal Laws, sprouted branches and leaves, and instantly bloomed with brilliant flowers. A dense Dao charm permeated the air.

Words Manifest as Law!

Although it was only at the most superficial level, it was enough to prove that her affinity with the Laws of heaven and earth had reached an inconceivable level.

Looking at these children with Heaven-Defying talent, who could be called prodigies, the lofty ambitions in Chu He's heart were ignited once again.

With such brilliant children, why worry that great things cannot be accomplished!

Star-Devouring Demon Emperor, you just wait for me!
