C1137 Answer
"How can I assist you?"
As Yu Yuan's Yin God released his thoughts toward the enigmatic energy mass, he instantly realized that his initiative had established a spiritual link with the young creature inside.
He observed the dragon-shaped youngling, curled up and trembling at the center of the mysterious energy.
The young beast appeared bewildered and timid, yet excitedly scanning its surroundings, seeking the origin of the response.
Its coiled and restless form seemed to unwind considerably, no longer bracing for danger. A wave of purple-golden soul energy emanated from within, "You, where are you?"
Inside the Dragon Slash Platform, Yu Yuan felt a slight jolt and responded, "You are in the presence of the Space-time Dragon's essence."
"Space-time Dragon? I... I just detected the scent of my kin. It seemed I could harness that power, so I gave it a try."
Amidst the threat of death, the young beast's intelligence was evolving remarkably. Perhaps as an offspring of the mightiest Starry Behemoth, it naturally possessed exceptional sentience. "As long as you don't hinder me, as long as you release all constraints, I can still invoke the essence of my kin and attempt to traverse."
Yu Yuan fell silent.
He contemplated the fact that this Spinosaurus youngling could indeed wield the residual powers of the Nagas.
The Spinosaurus and the Frost Dragon were both Dragon Gods of the Tenth Level.
Their severed remains within the Dragon Slash Platform likely held more power than the Moon Swallowing Ape, not to mention the additional Ninth Level and Eighth Level dragon remains.
The Dragon Slash Platform's formidable strength stemmed from the dragon carcasses it contained. If the progeny of the Titan and Spinosaurus were permitted entry, could they harness this to grow?
The thought of a true Titan Spinosaurus emerging within the Dragon Slash Platform unsettled him.
He began to earnestly weigh the potential for catastrophic unknown risks should this event come to pass.
The young beast, after a brief pause with no immediate reply from Yu Yuan, timidly inquired once more, "May I... may I proceed?"
The creature's display of timidity, anxiety, and hope slightly reassured Yu Yuan. After a moment's hesitation, he answered, "Perform your spell, and I shall observe the outcome."
At that moment, Yu Yuan was contemplating how to take control of the young creature.
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
The young beast became abruptly agitated. Yu Yuan then observed within the Dragon Slash Platform numerous shattered remains of Eighth and Ninth Level dragons. The congealed dragon blood deep within their carcasses emitted a faint crystalline glow. This glow, drawn by the enigmatic energy, merged with it as if it were countless fireflies voluntarily uniting with the mysterious force.
What had begun as merely a phantom energy cluster, formed by the residual power of the Space-time Dragon, astonishingly solidified in an instant.
It was akin to a ghostly Yin God spirit receiving an infusion of flesh and blood, gaining a corporeal form.
During this transformation, Yu Yuan was amazed to witness the scene within the energy sphere subtly altering.
Inside the resplendent world of the purple-gold dragon egg, the drama unfolded.
Cao Yi, transformed into a blood shadow, engaged in hundreds of power clashes every second with Chen Qinghuang, who emanated a destructive aura. Bursts of annihilating brilliance and intense flames pervaded every region of the dragon egg.
A colossal dragon-shaped skeleton also endured the scorching of the destructive light and flames.
Blood-red lightning encircled the skeleton, tightening its grip. Within the lightning, billions of minuscule insects invisible to the naked eye gnawed away at the bones and sinew.
Parts of the dragon-shaped skeleton began to vanish after a short time.
At the skull of the skeleton, a mysterious energy orb housed a dragon-shaped soul, which had been restlessly emitting eerie fluctuations.
These fluctuations were aimed at its own kind.
Both Cao Yi and Chen Qinghuang recognized the energy as a peculiar form of soul thought, yet they could not fully grasp its significance.
But it was of no concern to them.
The two evenly matched opponents were preoccupied with the pressure of their duel, aware that the young beast's soul could not flee. Once the victor was determined, the soul and the remnants of the dragon-shaped skeleton would simply become rich spoils of war, ready to be absorbed and assimilated.
Crack!
Svale, the elder of the Mondnacht Clan who had been recently slain, braced her neck with both hands and realigned it with a forceful push, setting her dislocated neck back into place.
A sudden flash of red ignited in Svale's eyes.
Hiding within the Moon Swallowing Ape's fur, Lee Yupan evaded Yu Yiyi's pursuit until the dark red glow in her eye suddenly went out.
Grec, having possessed Lee Yupan, appeared to use enigmatic secret arts to manifest within Svale's body.
Svale, previously deceased, came back to life. As she regained the ability to move, both Cao Yi and Chen Qinghuang's faces subtly shifted.
"Grec!"
Cao Yi and Chen Qinghuang exclaimed.
"Hehe!"
Svale emitted a deep, raspy male laugh, her dark red eyes eerily glancing at them.
Whoosh!
Transforming into a squirming mass of flesh and blood, Svale lunged toward the dragon's brain, where the mysterious energy sought to consume the young beast's soul, bolstering its own Devil Soul.
The young beast, trapped within the energy sphere, appeared petrified and helpless.
"Crap!" Cao Yi's anger was palpable, his loathing for Chen Qinghuang reaching new heights. "Damn it! If Grec's Devil Soul grows stronger, he'll recall more of his past and wield more of the Blood Devil Clan's secret arts! And Tan Junshan's disruption of the resurrection ritual will have been for naught!"
He was convinced that Chen Qinghuang's arrival had thwarted his chance to refine the young beast's soul first.
Instead, it was Grec who had seized the moment. The crafty Grec had exploited an opportunity to employ the Blood Devil Clan's secret arts, transferring the Devil Soul and commandeering Svale's freshly deceased body, thereby preying on the young beast's soul.
Chen Qinghuang, with her power, caused the Death Wing, propped by the eggshell, to flap vigorously.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Beams of grayish-white Death Light, like divine electricity, attempted to intercept the writhing flesh that Grec had formed, but they fell short.
More strands of blood-red lightning burst forth from the dragon's bones, aiming to bind the flesh.
Yet the frenzied flesh easily snapped these bonds.
Chen Qinghuang and Cao Yi could only watch helplessly as the pulsating flesh, a manifestation of Grec's external force, broke through the dragon's skull and pierced the ring of mysterious energy, reaching the young beast's soul.
In that moment, an extraordinary surge of Space-time Extraordinary Talent vibrated through the air.
A burst of light erupted where the young beast's soul had been.
The vibrations from the Space-time Extraordinary Talent prevented Grec's pulsating flesh from immediately coming back together.
As the spreading shockwave finally subsided and Grec's quivering mass of flesh regained stability, ready to devour once more, the young beast's soul was nowhere to be found.
It had vanished without a trace!
