C1025 The Shackles Were Unlocked(2)

"Hey!"

Yu Yuan let out a low chuckle, unfazed by Pattinson and Lambing's posturing. Instead, Elena's antics piqued his interest. He gestured mockingly towards her ample chest and taunted, "You foolhardy girl, just you wait."

Having left the Boundless Land and ventured into the Outer Star River, the constraints that once bound his spirit had naturally fallen away.

Now, Yu Yuan sought to indulge his whims within the starry expanse, unrestrained and without taboo.

Elena of the Asura Clan had brazenly challenged him, and without a second thought, he accepted her provocation.

Back in the Boundless Land, he would never have been so reckless or bold.

Such was the exhilarating freedom of soaring through the Outer Star River.

"Eh?"

Elena's excitement surged. She abruptly kicked Lambing in the rear, exclaiming, "This human is just my type. He has the nerve to challenge me! Lambing, if you're going to use that weapon, be careful not to go overboard and kill him!" Despite her youth, she referred to herself as an old lady.

"Elena, he's not going to be an easy target. It's best not to leave any loose ends!" Pattinson warned her with caution.

"I don't care!" retorted the Asura Clan's fiery girl. "All I want is for him to be alive!"

"Am I not better than him?" Lambing seethed inwardly. "Elena, what does this kid have that I don't? If you're looking for fun, I'm right here to give you all you can handle!"

"Nonsense! I despise all those pretty boys from the Mondnacht Clan, including your father who spreads his influence far and wide!" The Asura girl spat on his elegant attire in disgust. "You dress more finely than a woman, and in battle, you're more concerned with protecting your pretty face than fighting like a man!"

Fuming, Lambing retorted, "The day your father dies, I'll have my men pin you down and end you!"

"Ha! That makes me laugh. When my father passes, I'll be on equal footing with your father as the king of roving bandits! Mark my words, I'll reach the Ninth Level before he's gone!" Elena ran to the shoreline, giddy like a child with a new toy, fixating on Yu Yuan. She clasped her hands together as if in prayer, "Please, don't get yourself killed. It would be such a letdown after all this excitement."

Pattinson of the Shadow Clan massaged his forehead, his face a portrait of resignation.

Elena and Lambing had long been in league with bandits, picking up their reckless habits.

They spewed profanities and acted without any regard for consequences, daring to say and do anything.

Even death did not particularly frighten them.

"Reactivate the firefly photomask, or we'll lose more than half of our people," Pattinson commanded as his dark golden currents energized the hub on the ground behind him, bringing the luminous barrier back to life.

The mounting casualties on the ground finally ceased.

Protected by the Astral Shield, Pattinson observed that the corrupt energy from the Outer Star River could no longer inflict significant damage on Yu Yuan's Yin God. Instead, it was the low-ranking warriors loyal to the three kings of roving bandits who suffered heavy losses.

Realizing the futility, Pattinson decided not to exert any more effort and reactivated the firefly photomask.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, five formidable alien warriors charged from their side, each landing in different locations.

The most powerful among them, an Asura warrior wielding a massive blade, positioned himself before Peach Madam, his pale golden armor gleaming as he readied himself for an all-out battle.

Two Eighth Level warriors from the Mondnacht Clan landed near Zhan Ruonan and Sun Jun, their expressions wary.

Additionally, a dozen or so of the land's mightiest warriors, of Seventh and Sixth Level, converged on the scene.

On Yu Yuan's side, an Eighth Level Asura and an Eighth Level expert from the Crypt Clan appeared.

The Crypt Clan expert, upon touching down, vanished into the earth in an instant.

Then, several Seventh and Sixth Level warriors from various clans paused before Yin God Yu Yuan, shielded by the Astral Shield. They brandished their silver-tipped spears, staves of animal bone, and crimson spears, launching an assault on the Astral Shield.

Puff! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The surface of the pale aqua halo shimmered with a kaleidoscope of light, as golden and fiery sparks scattered in all directions, showering down like a rain of light.

Every blast of energy aimed at the Astral Shield was intercepted by its Heaven Level Eighth Grade, purely defensive form.

Yin God Yu Yuan remained completely unscathed.

"Heh, Giant Spirits..."

With a light shout from Yu Yuan, the dark cauldron, which had been spinning wildly from the lashes of the black iron chains, suddenly came to a stable halt.

As the new chains lashed out, the Evil Cauldron remained motionless in the air, as if rooted in place. Yu Yiyi, looking utterly bored, materialized beside the cauldron's rim. She yawned and shot a sidelong glance at the bewildered Djinn Clan warrior. "Is this amusing to you? You could lash out ten thousand times and still not inflict the slightest damage on this cauldron. All brawn and no finesse, you're nothing but a brute who doesn't know how to wield his own strength!"

Her icy gaze fixed on the massive Djinn warrior, whose eyes were equally large. Suddenly, her eyes filled with a dense swarm of devilish figures, resembling demons from hell, which coalesced into a bizarre soul seal. "Big guy, you're already dead."

The Djinn warrior, towering over ten meters tall, swung his black iron chains with force, only for them to drop heavily. His mind was invaded by hundreds of Yin Devils, causing him to clutch his head and emit a blood-curdling scream as blood streamed from his ears and eyes.

Staggering, the Djinn warrior crashed into numerous storage cabinets and trampled several weak bandits tainted by vile powers before collapsing to the ground like a fallen mountain.

Whoosh!

A formidable Crypt Clan expert, shaped like a giant beetle, burst from a heap of discarded objects, shooting straight towards Yu Yuan. Waves of dark brown energy rippled ahead, causing Yu Yuan's limbs to go numb and weak. His blood and spiritual energy flow ground to a halt, and his Mystical Gate acupoints felt as though they were sealed by a membrane. The connections within his body and his circulatory system seemed to be under a lock.

"Not a bad bloodline talent," Yu Yuan murmured with a light chuckle, his attention drifting from the Crypt Clan member to the rapidly approaching Yin God.

Another powerful Asura warrior arrived like a flash of dark lightning, engaging in close combat with Yu Yuan before the Crypt Clan warrior could reach him. His spiked knees and elbows jabbed at Yu Yuan like steel needles.

The Crypt Clan warrior, who had seemed poised to strike first, came to an abrupt halt. Continuously invoking his bloodline's secret arts, he made Yu Yuan's blood, bones, and organs feel as though they were being crushed under a massive weight. Suspended in midair, Yu Yuan's movements were severely hindered.

The sudden surge in gravity caught Yu Yuan off guard, and he could no longer hover in the void. He plummeted downward like a cannonball.

Meanwhile, an uninjured warrior from the Asura Clan, who was at the Eighth Level, seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied assault.

His natural thorns, tempered by his bloodline, were as sharp as blades of Heaven Level quality. They pierced Yu Yuan, leaving dozens of bloody holes across his body, presenting a ghastly sight.

Yet, from the multitude of wounds, not a single drop of blood flowed.

"I really like that little girl sitting on the rim of the cauldron!"

Lambing from the Mondnacht Clan, standing at the edge of another continent, had his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Elena, I've made up my mind. I want the girl on the cauldron! And as for the human, you can torture and toy with her as you please!"

"Agreed!" Elena said, sealing the deal with a high five.

They ignored the Djinn Clan warriors who had just been slain, their souls shattered by Yu Yiyi's nefarious soul magic.

Pattinson from the Shadow Clan felt an increasing weight on his heart, his brow furrowed as if bracing for an imminent threat.
