C1097 Crazy Actions!

Yu Yuan swallowed two Blood Elemental Pills in succession.

Boom!

A surge of blood energy so intense that it astonished both Chen Qinghuang and the Peacock King erupted like twin volcanoes, spewing flames from Yu Yuan's organs.

"Your Life Altar is still within the Demon Blade," the Peacock King reminded him.

"I don't have to depend on the altar."

Yu Yuan, who had been sitting in meditation, slowly rose to his feet and unleashed the full power of the Evil Body Refining Skill, creating a bizarre magnetic field around himself.

He glanced up at the vibrant light of the Demon Blade and commanded, "Take down the barrier you've conjured."

"Hong Qi, are you courting death?"

Flames of orange flickered in the Peacock King's otherworldly eyes. With a stern face, she spread her arms wide as if unfurling her wings. In moments, a burst of colorful feathers sprouted and fanned out, transforming her into a magnificent, colossal peacock in mere seconds.

"Just do as he says," the Luan Bird Queen sighed softly.

After a moment's hesitation, the Peacock King issued a piercing cry that seemed to split the very fabric of space.

The colorful light of the Demon Blade vanished, and a tumultuous, corrupt energy from all around rushed in to fill the void.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Centered on Yu Yuan, the magnetic field twisted and raged, brimming with a maelstrom of dozens of vile energies, celestial impurities, and toxic sediments, all funneling into the vortex generated by the Evil Body Refining Skill.

Crack!

Amidst this ferocious onslaught of energy, some of Yu Yuan's more fragile bones snapped.

Yet, under the oppressive force of the peculiar magnetic field, his body began to absorb and refine the Blood Elemental Pills with increased speed and efficiency.

Amidst the agonizing pain and the tremors in his Consciousness Little World, his bones, meridians, and flesh all underwent minute transformations.

But his skin, unable to endure the onslaught of the external corrupt forces, began to split and tear.

In an incredibly brief span, Yu Yuan's body was lacerated with intersecting wounds, his face and neck bleeding profusely, rendering him a ghastly and pitiful sight.

"Hong Qi, you're incredibly harsh on yourself," the Peacock King observed, her voice laced with both mockery and awe.

She, too, could see that the Evil Body Refining Skill, pushed to its extreme, had formed a magnetic whirlpool that voraciously consumed the galaxy's tainted energies.

The dispersed corrupt power was not something that an ordinary flesh and blood body could endure. Only a Demon Lord of the Eighth Level, a Yang God, could traverse the heavens unscathed.

Yu Yuan's physique was exceptionally robust. Despite being at the Soul Wandering Stage, he could navigate the galaxy with ease.

However, should he concentrate the dispersed corrupt power at his side, the magnetic vortex created by the Evil Body Refining Skill would amplify the corrupt power's potency manifold.

Not even the Ninth Level Peacock King believed she could emerge unharmed from such an ordeal!

"He broke down only to rebuild, surviving the calamity to forge his body anew. His body's wounds made him crave more flesh and blood power. The immense blood energy within the two Blood Elemental Pills found an outlet after the eruption."

The Luan Bird Queen observed for a while and began to understand Yu Yuan's motives.

The Blood Elemental Pill's fearsome blood energy needed to be refined swiftly, requiring specific conditions to be assimilated and utilized by his body.

He harnessed the Evil Body Refining Skill to pool the corrupt power, ravaging his physical vessel, which allowed the Blood Elemental Pill to be rapidly assimilated, swiftly invigorating his physique.

Yet...

Yu Yuan chose not to follow this path. He disregarded his battered body and channeled all the essence of flesh and blood from the Blood Elemental Pill into the Demon Blade he wielded!

The Demon Blade, with its dense blood-red patterns, emitted a hazy crimson glow, resembling delicate blood serpents slithering towards the blade's tip.

The Luan Bird Queen watched the transformation of the Demon Blade and Yu Yuan's ghastly form, which seemed on the brink of bursting apart, and she was rendered speechless.

She realized that Yu Yuan was enduring excruciating pain.

She understood that her assessment and knowledge of Yu Yuan were, in fact, mistaken.

Yu Yuan had no intention of tempering his body or healing his wounds before channeling his life force into the Demon Blade.

He forwent the refinement of his physical form, bearing agony that would shatter an ordinary person, as he infused every ounce of his flesh and blood essence into the Demon Blade!

In doing so, he sought to extract every bit of the vast blood energy from the Blood Elemental Pill, disregarding the worsening of his injuries, all to refine the Demon Blade, the "Blood Prison," at the swiftest pace possible.

At that moment, Yu Yuan's frenzied behavior sparked a thought in the Luan Bird Queen's mind.

Perhaps Yu Yuan was the master the Demon Blade had been waiting for all along.

Only someone as obstinate and mad as him could wield the Demon Blade, unleashing its full potential and standing a chance against the Chaos Roc.

"It seems you've already reached a decision."

Having said that, the Luan Bird Queen fell silent. She closed her eyes, stretching out her consciousness to detect the presence and shifts within the Death Nest, all the while silently communicating with the Peacock King.

"The Death Nest no longer serves as a starry gateway, but I can return at any moment."

"Still, I'm uncertain if it's a trap. I worry that once I've returned to the Plover Realm with Yu Yuan, I won't be able to come back to the increasingly distant Death Nest using the same method."

The Luan Bird Queen reached out to the Peacock King through a mystical method.

"You mean, once we go, we might not come back?"

"It's highly likely."

"So, do you want to risk it with him? Honestly, neither of you has any real reason to return."

"From death comes life, seeking survival through peril. I believe the Plover Realm now presents an opportunity for me, as well as a significant chance for him. If he's decided to be this daring and reckless, then I'm ready to take a leap of faith too."

"Two madcaps."

...

In the Plover Realm, merchants, white cranes, the Green Willow Demon, Zhongli, Beru, Canli, and other dignitaries and Bloodline warriors converged upon the stone tower due to its strange transformation.

A mix of astonishment, bewilderment, and unease filled the eyes of those who witnessed the engulfing darkness.

The towering Asura General stood half in shadow, half in light, adjusting his stance as the darkness crept outward. He took small steps to ensure part of his body remained visible.

His gaze darted around in desperation, searching for something.

"Dad!"

At last, he heard the voice of his daughter, Elena.

Yet, she was trapped within a cage of golden lightning, conjured by President Lyi.

A sizzling bolt of lightning struck Elena, tearing her exposed skin and flesh.

"President Lyi, she was brought in by Yu Yuan. He instructed me to look after her carefully," Zhou You reminded.

"Rest assured, she won't die. She'll only sustain some minor injuries," President Lyi replied, still unruffled. His composure and detachment instilled a sense of calm among the many formidable beings from different races.

"I just have a few simple questions."

President Lyi turned to Fernand. "Was the Chaos Roc involved in shattering the Frost Well in the Dark Domain and merging it into that girl's body? Is there any involvement of the Chaos Roc behind this?"

He was aware of the Chaos Roc's actions in destroying numerous Galaxy Ancient Starships in the Starfield.

After striking a deal with the Chaos Roc, he had meticulously arranged for Lim Zhuyun to be transported from the Nether Abyss to the Cold Abyss Entrance in the Oblivion Starfield.

He needed to be certain whether the Chaos Roc had already conspired with the Asura King to facilitate Lim Zhuyun's arrival.

Lim Zhuyun's unique traits and the body she had developed through her various extraordinary experiences enabled her not only to carry the fragments of the Frost Well undetected but also to use those fragments to construct her form.

This development had taken President Lyi by surprise, so he was eager to clarify the situation.

"I don't know," Fernand answered earnestly.

"It was merely a minor mishap. Our initial choice wasn't this young woman."

A voice, authoritative and resonant, emanated from the chilling darkness.

"King!"

Fernand's face lit up with fervor.

"Asura King!"

The faces of the others turned pale with apprehension.
