C1148 Yu Zhu Broke Through

Cao Yi of the Ebon Star was in the process of refining Grec, the Demon God, into a crimson mass of flesh.

After Yu Yuan caused a stir, the King of Wraiths from the Devil Palace grew fearful. He proactively sought to restrain Mo Yan, forbidding further deliberate provocations to avoid unnecessary complications.

Standing atop the Devil Blade, Mo Yan gazed at Yu Yuan with an expression of utmost complexity. He needed no reminders to understand that Yu Yuan had ascended to a stature that now required his admiration.

Figures like the Golden Elephant God, the King of Wraiths, Tan Junshan, and Chen Qinghuang, all magnates in their own right, demonstrated through their behavior towards Yu Yuan that he had become a peer among them.

This realization soured Mo Yan's mood, and he began to question his own worth. Was his talent truly so average? Was it only due to his father's dedication that he had achieved the cultivation of a Solar Spirit and garnered attention?

This seed of doubt, unbeknownst to him, sprouted into an inner demon that quietly took root in his heart. He was unaware of the immense harm it could cause if not addressed promptly.

Above the fragmented stars, those with hidden agendas ceased their conflicts.

The Dragon Slaying Stage, suspended in mid-air, exuded an aura of chaos that intimidated all beings, human and demon alike. Even powerhouses like the Golden Elephant God and the King of Wraiths, along with Tan Junshan and Chen Qinghuang, frequently observed the stage, sensing the aura it released, as if discerning the ultimate truths of the cosmos.

Yu Yuan, seizing a moment of peace, closely examined the Altar of Rebirth within his little world of vitality, which had undergone numerous changes since the heaven soul's arrival.

The ruby-like Altar of Rebirth, having assimilated Grec's blood crystal, was now awash with a sea of messages. This altar, evolving towards the Solar Spirit Body, had become a vast ocean of knowledge. It contained not only the core mysteries of the Blood Fiend but also the arcane arts and theurgies of various high-order intelligent life forms that he had previously absorbed.

His heaven soul, now swimming through this ocean of knowledge, was grasping the intricate wonders within. This was the art of a novel Soul Sacrifice.

His heaven soul, long honed by the practice of Soul Forging through Enlightenment, had been refined to a state of luminous clarity and keen insight.

Perhaps it was precisely this experience that allowed him to grasp the many arcane mysteries hidden within the Altar of Rebirth. Guided by the heaven soul, the Altar of Rebirth drew upon the vitality and soul power from his acupoints and organs, yet it remained within his capacity to endure.

As the Altar of Rebirth subtly transformed, he developed an intuition that once the heaven soul and the Altar of Rebirth fully integrated, he would penetrate the bloodline mysteries of various races and the arcane wonders of the Blood Fiend. His Solar Spirit Body would then be capable of taking on the forms of any Star River Otherkin!

He could become a Shura, a Dawnbringer, a Starborn, a Shadowkin, or an enchantress. With his Solar Spirit Body, he could transform into any of these renowned Otherkin, and even his own kin would be none the wiser.

His Solar Spirit Body could even mimic the bloodline mysteries of other clans and manifest them! While most human cultivators refined their Solar Spirit Body through the crystallization of spiritual energy and the heaven soul, his path diverged.

His Solar Spirit Body, akin to Chen Qinghuang's, was a fusion of vitality and soul, resembling an archdemon or Otherkin. This extraordinary Solar Spirit Body, much like the Blood Fiend's kin, could freely transform at higher bloodline levels, revealing many unexpected wonders.

As the heaven soul merged with the Altar of Rebirth, it unveiled the methods of controlling blood bound slaves, embodying devil souls, and other such marvels, all of which he was mastering.

Once successful, he felt he might even rival the enigmatic nature of the Star-Spawned Terror. Contemplating in silence, he understood that the fusion of the heaven soul with the Altar of Rebirth and the formation of the Solar Spirit Body was not an overnight achievement. It was a lengthy metamorphosis.

"Return."

With a grasp, the Dragon Slaying Stage, magnified a thousandfold, rapidly shrank and settled into his palm. As the Dragon Slaying Stage resumed its elongated form, he immediately sensed the young beast's joy and excitement.

With a mere thought, he observed the young beast still fervently gathering blood. Streams of blood mingled with the sparkling essence of the dragon's remains, refining into pure strands of vital energy that merged into his skeleton, aiding in the gradual construction of his dragon form.

The Dragon Slaying Stage, having absorbed the violet gold eggshell, had undergone mysterious changes that he couldn't fully comprehend. He was aware that the object had significantly increased in power.

Regardless of how the situation might evolve, his adventure with Chen Qinghuang had already paid off handsomely.

Half an hour quickly passed.

Rip!

A tiny, bright red light burst forth from the transforming flesh of Cao Yi, who suddenly solidified, taking on the visage of a paragon of virtue.

Cao Yi cradled a watermelon-sized blood crystal in his hands, glancing at Yu Zhu atop the Misty Cloud Tower.

Yu Zhu, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, attempted to connect with the blood crystal using her demon energy, her pupils flashing with excitement.

She wasn't the only one.

The presence of the blood crystal set the blood of many archdemons simmering. They instinctively yearned to consume it and assimilate it into their hearts.

Beyond the Golden Elephant God, the restlessness among the archdemons was palpable.

Several archdemons, who had taken human form, could not contain their greed and desire at the sight of Grec's blood crystal, revealing their true evilkind forms.

"Don't seek your own demise."

The colossal figure of the Golden Elephant God, standing amidst the dark and icy Star River, let out a cold huff.

His snort was like a splash of icy water on the souls of the archdemons, jolting those on the brink of losing control back to their senses.

"Cao Yi, what's the holdup?"

The Golden Elephant God, showing a hint of impatience, fixed his gaze, which shone like golden stars, on Cao Yi and pressed, "You're well aware of the blood crystal's terrifying allure to the evilkind. Are you waiting to see if the archdemons will turn on each other over it?"

"Haha, Lord Golden Elephant, you flatter me. With you present, how could there be any discord?" Cao Yi chuckled before promptly tossing the blood crystal towards Yu Zhu, who was enveloped in the dense mist.

In that instant, Yu Yuan, Tan Junshan, and Chen Qinghuang snapped to attention.

Circles of 'full moons' began to orbit the Golden Elephant God, while Chen Qinghuang's destructive intent manifested as unseen ripples, spreading near the King of Wraiths and the Devil Palace's formidable figures.

At the slightest disturbance, the power of destruction would erupt, igniting into the flame of destruction.

Tan Junshan and Chen Qinghuang were clearly still apprehensive about the Golden Elephant God and the King of Wraiths, fearing they might abruptly engage in a struggle for power.

Yet, no such incident occurred.

The Golden Elephant God and the King of Wraiths remained motionless, like statues, without even a hint of their remnant souls or vitality being released.

Whoosh!

Yu Zhu manifested her immense true form of the evilkind. As the blood crystal descended, her razor-like hooves subtly transformed into dexterous hands. She deftly caught it and pressed it to her Demon Heart.

In the moment the blood crystal merged with her Demon Heart, her bloodline level soared from the eighth to the ninth level.

The boundary of her bloodline was shattered in an instant.
