C1287 The Truth That Had Been Hidden for Thousands of Years!
The Lunar Spirit stood upon the Dragon Slaying Stage, and Yu Yuan experienced an extraordinarily peculiar epiphany.
He felt as though he had become a deity within the Dragon Slaying Stage, or perhaps... an artifact soul.
The Lunar Spirit, refined through his practice of Wraithbinding, had fully earned the Dragon Slaying Stage's recognition following his awakening in the Dark Star Domain.
This miraculous object, crafted by his own hands in his first life, clearly recognized who he was.
He was the sole, unchanging master of the Dragon Slaying Stage!
Yu Yuan's thoughts stirred.
The Dragon Slaying Stage, now magnified a thousandfold, glided effortlessly through this bizarre little world.
It deftly maneuvered past totem-poles as majestic as the Holy Mountains, arriving before Lin Zhuyun and the Ghoul King.
Throughout, he quietly observed and sensed, yet detected no trace of the Voidweaver's presence.
Using the Origin Gate, along with the residual space magic of the Dark Phoenix, he had managed to extend his influence. The resplendent butterfly seemed to merely assist his Lunar Spirit in entering the rare stone.
Lin Zhuyun and the Ghoul King's panic likely stemmed from their ignorance of the Voidweaver's existence.
They were even less aware that the Voidweaver, the creator of the evilkind, had conspired with the enigmatic Origin Deity after vanishing for eons.
"It must be Yan Qiling aiding him from the shadows!"
The Ghoul King's face was stern, his gaze flickering as he looked toward an island. In an instant, his thoughts reached the boneyard.
Feeling the presence of several ghouls, he found a measure of peace.
The numerous but lesser Wights he had previously unleashed were not his true source of confidence.
His most formidable Wights had not been called to battle.
"What does it matter if they've entered?"
Lin Zhuyun swiftly regained her composure, standing atop a towering totem-pole. A curious demonic pattern emerged on her forehead. "All that occurs outside is now irrelevant. I shall begin to aid my Master in refining the Dragon Slaying Stage with the power of the Starborne Ritual of Primeval Demons!"
Boom! Boom!
Within the world inside the rare stone, the azure sky was suddenly filled with the sound of thunder.
A totem pole belonging to the evilkind suddenly ascended into the heavens, its apex merging with the firmament itself.
Upon the surface of this Holy Mountain-esque totem pole, innumerable thunderbolts flashed, revealing countless archdemons with the appearance of savage bulls, their roars challenging the very sky.
Three equally grand totem poles pierced the azure depths of the sea.
Creatures such as the Black Serpent, Frost Wyrm, and ancient water-dwelling evilkind came vividly to life within these poles. The overwhelming demon energy they unleashed set off towering waves across the vast ocean.
It was as though numerous deep-sea archdemons had burst forth from the water, stirring up the waves.
Another totem pole, resplendent in gold and just as lofty, echoed with the enraged bellows of primeval demonic beasts.
Then, a multitude of dense golden demonic scripts transformed into a host of golden calves, their hooves kicking as they charged forth.
An eight-legged spider, its limbs sharp as blades, emerged from another pole, its fangs exposed and limbs thrashing.
Various ancient evilkind took shape, some directly manifesting, others through the display of their unique demonic scripts.
Beams of demonic light, along with lightning, fire, and torrents of ice, erupted from the totem poles, all converging on the Dragon Slaying Stage.
In that moment, Yu Yuan, situated within the inner world of the Dragon Slaying Stage, was profoundly moved.
He scrutinized the scene and observed that around twenty out of the thirty-six totem poles radiated with divine power.
These twenty poles had likely been secretly refined by the Abyssal Leviathan, enabling Lin Zhuyun to wield them.
The mere act of refining these totem poles had given rise to the Starborne Ritual of Primeval Demons, a force capable of obliterating an entire Domain.
Yu Yuan was convinced that if Lin Zhuyun were to materialize in Zekrica and unleash the thirty-six totem poles, even at partial strength, the walls of Zekrica would shatter in an instant, extinguishing all life in a single breath.
The vast majority of the Starborn Domains would not withstand the onslaught of the Starborne Ritual of Primeval Demons.
"Incredible, truly incredible," Yu Yuan marveled, his tone reflecting his wonder. Inside the Dragon Slaying Stage, he watched the totem poles reveal their formidable power, yet he remained composed.
He was the deity of the Dragon Slaying Stage!
With a mere flicker of thought, the Dragon Slaying Stage, elongated and magnified a hundredfold, burst forth with dazzling radiance.
It then effortlessly shattered all the oncoming demonic lights, bolts of lightning, flames, and surges of ice!
The divine power concealed within the colossal blade-like Dragon Slaying Stage, in harmony with the strength of the many dragon corpses, was fully wielded by Yu Yuan.
At times, the Dragon Slaying Stage grew immensely, crushing any demonic light and lightning in its path, and at other times, it shrank into an inconspicuous gray-white prism, slipping through the crevices of the totem-poles and cleaving through the skyward torrents.
The Frost Wyrm, Black Serpent, and Python, born from ancient demonic scripts and rich with demonic energy and vitality, were sliced into segments by the Dragon Slaying Stage, now under the command of Yu Yuan's Lunar Spirit.
To Yu Yuan's amazement, the demonic energy and vitality within the slain serpents were swiftly absorbed by the Dragon Slaying Stage.
He observed the immense violet gold dragon egg glowing vibrantly.
He could also distinctly sense the young Titan Spinosaurus, with its dragon wings, thoroughly enjoying itself within the egg.
Relishing the infusion of delectable sustenance...
"I believe these peculiar pillars, with their demonic scripts and energy, contain much that originally flowed from us, belonging to our lineage," the young Titan Spinosaurus conveyed to Yu Yuan, though its words were somewhat muffled.
Whoosh!
The Dragon Slaying Stage once again expanded dramatically in the heavens, maintaining its elongated form.
Yet, the once murky Dragon Slaying Stage now shimmered with clarity.
Yu Yuan's Lunar Spirit within appeared distinctly clear, and the remains of the giant dragons buried there were mostly visible.
Suddenly, the violet gold egg housing the young creature was enveloped in a soft, mystical glow.
The young beast seemed to be using the shell of the dragon egg to extend its influence and perception from the Dragon Slaying Stage outward, targeting the totem-poles of the evilkind.
Five totem-poles, corresponding to the ancient Naga, halted in the void, motionless.
The dragon's breath concealed within the dragon markings seemed to be fully mastered by the young Titan Spinosaurus.
More astonishing transformations were yet to unfold...
The totem-pole piercing the heavens, resounding with thunder, the three in the deep sea associated with the Black Serpent, Frost Wyrm, and Python, along with the Golden Elephant and some more remote totem-poles, each began to resonate mysteriously with the young creatures.
A total of thirty-six totem poles were subjected to the refining process by the Abyssal Leviathan, with twenty successfully transformed. The remaining had yet to be refined.
However, at that moment, most of the totem poles, whether later consecrated by the Abyssal Leviathan or originally crafted by the Shadow's Keep, shared a mysterious connection with the bloodline of the young Titan Spinosaurus.
"What a curious sensation. It feels so familiar, as if it's intertwined with my own bloodline..."
The young Titan Spinosaurus whispered to itself.
Yu Yuan was taken aback.
He remembered the Empress, Tan Junshan, who had thwarted the resurrection of the Great Demon God Grec and had spoken of the Everlands during her battle with the Lunarphite.
The exalted Titan Spinosaurus, gravely wounded and hidden within the Everlands, might have contributed to its splendor alongside the Root of the Lunar Meridian and numerous other wonders.
The ancient Nagas, born from the Titan Spinosaurus, could be seen as its direct progeny.
The mightiest cosmic giant beast had slain countless peers, seizing a plethora of bloodline mysteries!
Upon its grievous demise, most of its bloodline mysteries and dragon's breath mingled and dispersed across the Everlands, merging with the native beings.
As a result...
The innate divine abilities and bloodline mysteries of most ancient evilkind originated from the exalted Titan Spinosaurus!
The thirty-six totem poles, representing thirty-six ancient evilkind clans, were predominantly derived from it!
And it wasn't just the five Dragon Gods!
The bloodline mysteries that the ancient evilkind clans had acquired were all from within it!
It was the harvest from its lifetime of hunting its kin!
"Now I understand! It all makes sense!"
Piece by piece, Yu Yuan unraveled a truth hidden for eons through the fragmented and vague words of the young beast and the resonance between its bloodline and the totem poles.
The ancient Nagas were a unique race that emerged directly from the Titan.
Furthermore, creatures of the Everlands, such as the Golden Elephant, Black Serpent, Frost Wyrm, and others, had also evolved into ancient evilkind by absorbing the dragon's breath laden with bloodline mysteries.
Within the Dragon Slaying Stage, Yu Yuan observed meticulously and quietly sought confirmation from the young beast.
The young beast felt no connection to the totem-pole associated with the Dark Phoenix.
"Dark Phoenix! It's an invasive species!"
