C1283 Totem Pillar!!

According to Her Majesty, she lost control and spread death everywhere 100,000 years ago due to the treachery of the highest power within the Demon Palace.

It appears that the purple phoenix perched atop the mountain peak a century ago was no less formidable than the Secular Bird.

The Secular Bird has long been considered more powerful than the Void Spirit Succubus and vastly superior to the Chaos Roc.

Now, 100,000 years later, she has successfully been reborn. However, she still has a long journey ahead to regain her peak combat prowess, especially since she has yet to fully sort through her memories.

Meanwhile, the Void Spirit Succubus has been mysteriously separated from her body.

After her soul fused with the Origin Realm, the Void Spirit Succubus may have gained additional powers, but it's uncertain if she's reached her ultimate strength.

In this situation, neither the empress nor the Void Spirit Succubus, who has harnessed the power of the Origin Realm Gate to manifest her might in the Deep Starfield, would welcome the arrival of the Demon Phoenix.

Lim Zhuyun and the Yin Corpse King would certainly panic at the thought of the Demon Phoenix, avoiding any encounter.

After all, even their masters have been subdued by the Demon Phoenix in the Ember Waters for many years.

"Purple Phoenix!"

Yu Yuan, standing on the Totem Pillar, felt the heat under his feet as he pondered the overwhelming strength of the Demon Palace's supreme schemer.

"I only need one thing."

Lim Zhuyun, poised atop an icy summit, spoke with a detached calmness that was uncharacteristic of her.

Yu Yuan was taken aback.

He hadn't expected his fiancée, whose temperament had been edging towards the extreme, to refrain from immediate aggression after compelling him to meet her. Their encounters had always escalated into intense conflicts, a matter of life or death.

This composed version of Lim Zhuyun was nearly unrecognizable from his memories.

He suddenly realized that Lim Zhuyun, having endured countless hardships and narrow escapes from death, had undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. She was no longer the demure heiress of the Lim family but had become one of the most formidable individuals in the world.

After a brief contemplation, Yu Yuan asked, "What is it that you want?"

"The Dragon Slash Platform."

Lim Zhuyun provided an immediate response.

"Dragon Slash Platform!"

The exclamation did not come from the prostrate Golden Rock Beast King, nor from Faang Yao or any other visitor from afar.

It was the Yin Corpse King who cried out!

This sinister giant, loyal to the Chaos Roc and accompanying the savage elder on his wanderings through the galaxies, had silently observed the Chaos Roc selecting treasures from various mysterious locales across different starfields, integrating them into the totem pillars of the demon tribes, and refining each one meticulously.

He was well aware of the cunning plan his revered elder had in mind.

Among the thirty-six totem pillars of the demon tribes, six were of paramount importance to the ruthless elder!

Naturally, one pillar stood out, corresponding to the highest echelon of the Demon Palace—the ancient Demon Phoenix tribe.

The remaining five pillars were linked to the five ancient clans of the Naga!

At the height of their era, the Naga boasted five Dragon Gods coexisting in harmony with the universe!

That was the Dragon Race's most splendid era, a time when they reigned supreme over the demon tribes of the vast expanse, with all ancient demon factions holding the Dragon Race in the highest regard.

The Demon Phoenix tribe, led by the purple phoenix as their chieftain, recognized their inability to challenge the five Dragon Gods and thus yielded to the Dragon Race.

Of the thirty-six demon tribe totem pillars, five symbolized the five clans of the Dragon Gods!

The hierarchical structure of the demon tribes, based on the totem pillars, was a concept introduced by the Dragon Race of old.

Of these, the five most exalted totem pillars were claimed by the Dragon Race, with just one belonging to the ancient Demon Phoenix.

Later, the Demon Phoenix allied with the human race to dethrone the Dragon Race, founding the Demon Palace and beginning to consolidate the demon tribes under its rule, thereby rendering the concept of totem pillars obsolete.

This move was also intended to completely expunge the bleak chapter of history when the ancient Dragon Race towered over all other demons.

Yet, in her endeavor to reconstruct the thirty-six totem pillars to subdue the Chaos Roc, she inevitably included the five pillars representing the ancient Dragon Race.

Although the dragon might within them was exceedingly faint, and the power they could unleash was negligible.

Still, the integrity of the Ancient Fey Formation was absolutely dependent on those five pillars.

"The Dragon Slash Platform... of course, it's for the Dragon Slash Platform! How could I have overlooked that? Why didn't it cross my mind? Master, if you knew she secured the Dragon Slash Platform, you'd surely reward her generously!"

The Yin Corpse King was berating himself internally.

He was acutely aware that the five Totem Pillars, which corresponded to the ancient Nagas, were currently feeble because the dragon breath within them was plundered by the Demon Phoenix from the dragons at Hidden Dragon Lake.

The dragons of Hidden Dragon Lake were seldom above the Ninth Level, with most being merely Eighth or Seventh Level.

How potent could their power be? Could they possibly inscribe formidable dragon scripts and dragon blood within those Totem Pillars?

The Dragon Slash Platform, on the other hand, was a game-changer!

Within the Dragon Slash Platform lay the remains of three known Dragon Gods. Yu Yuan had unearthed the Dragon Slash Platform from the heavens, which housed the Tenth Level corpses of the Space-time Dragon and the Frost Dragon!

Moreover, there were additional Ninth Level dragon corpses corresponding to the five ancient Totem Pillars!

Once the Chaos Roc acquired the Dragon Slash Platform, it could harness the power of the remaining Totem Pillars to seize the dragon corpses within! This would allow the refinement of at least two crucial dragon Totem Pillars, significantly amplifying the might of the other three!

The fearsome force of the Ancient Fey Formation would soar as a result of the dragon Totem Pillars' consecration!

In that moment, the Yin Corpse King gazed at Lim Zhuyun with a mix of envy and a hint of trepidation.

He knew that should Lim Zhuyun accomplish this feat, her master would reward her by cleansing her marrow with his own blood, aiding her in the refinement of the Freezing Devaputra, perfecting her Yang God, and entrusting her with the command of the Ancient Fey Formation—all of which would be well-deserved!

"Yu Yuan, don't let her have it!"

With a resounding bald head and barely regained combat strength, Faang Yao suddenly cried out as Yu Yuan pondered with a furrowed brow, "Lim Zhuyun won't die! She's merely a Yang God. Even without this Yang God body, she can still live on after her realm declines."

"It's just that, without it, she'll no longer have the potential to ascend to higher realms or travel further on the path of cultivation."

Yuan Lianyao was not Xu Jingyao, nor was she the core seed of her sect, and she had not been given the privilege of a precious Yang God imprint.

Her cultivation path would come to an abrupt end if her Yang God were destroyed, as she would lose her Heavenly Soul.

Yet, she could continue to live, enduring a decline in her cultivation level and awaiting the inevitable approach of death, much like Xie Binn had.

She was not Zhou Cangmin, nor a Demonic Seed of the Red Devil Sect.

The Red Devil Sect wouldn't expend rare treasures to preserve her Heavenly Soul imprint, allowing her a second chance at refinement should her Yang God be destroyed.

"The Dragon Slash Platform," Yu Yuan mused, his thoughts diverging from those of the Yin Corpse King. He was unaware that among the thirty-six Totem Pillars, five were linked to the ancient clans of the Nagas.

Nor did he realize the significant impact the successful refinement of these five Totem Pillars would have on the Chaos Roc.

His considerations were straightforward.

The Chaos Roc, still recovering from grave injuries and being a Starry Behemoth, required an inexhaustible supply of flesh and blood for its recuperation.

Much like the Secular Bird's need to feed, the Chaos Roc sought the dragon corpses within the Dragon Slash Platform for its healing.

"It must not have arrived yet."

Yu Yuan scanned his surroundings, his soul consciousness keenly attuned to the small world of blood and Qi, where his Yang God was undergoing transformation.

Constructed from the Life Altar and fused with the blood and a resurrection crystal from the Great Demon God Greco, his Yang God should have detected the Chaos Roc's presence if it were nearby.

"If it truly isn't here, then I might take a gamble! I'll wager that woman has no clue that a young Titan spinosaurus is currently residing within the Dragon Slash Platform!"

Emboldened by this thought, Yu Yuan inhaled deeply and exclaimed, "Alright!"

With a whoosh, he summoned the elongated Dragon Slash Platform from his aperture's small world, gripping it with his free hand. He glared at Lim Zhuyun and called out, "How should I hand this over to you?"

The Dragon Slash Platform, now a singular, jade-like piece after numerous refinements and enhanced with many mysterious abilities, gleamed radiantly as it materialized, bringing forth a host of wonders.

Yu Yuan was taken aback.

He distinctly observed that five Totem Pillars, previously inconspicuous and deliberately placed far apart, suddenly emitted a bright glow.

Mysterious dragon patterns began to slowly emerge on the surfaces of these five Totem Pillars.
