C1373 The Blood of the Beast Splashed

The collapse of the small worlds within the Firefly Starfield came to a halt, all thanks to Yu Yuan.

In the dark and icy expanse of stars, the Cold Domain Bear scratched its head in bewilderment. Its luminous animal eyes were fixed on the direction of the radiant sword light, observing the Chaos Roc that struggled in vain to escape, appearing somewhat perplexed.

Yet, there was also an overwhelming surge of joy and relief!

It had braced itself for a deadly confrontation with the Chaos Roc, resolved to do whatever it took to forestall the creature's attempt to possess Yu Yuan's body, even at the risk of the Firefly Starfield's demise.

Its goal was to buy as much time as possible for Yu Yuan, hoping for the arrival of reinforcements from the Chamber of Commerce and the Divine Soul Sect.

For this purpose, it was willing to lay down its life!

All it desired was for the drop of its own blood to foster new life within the moon.

It believed that Yu Yuan, the custodian of the Dragon Slash Platform, might one day use the offspring it had nurtured to trace back to the origin of their shared bloodline and resurrect it.

It was well aware of who Yu Yuan was!

What it hadn't anticipated was that Yu Yuan, who had not yet awakened his three souls or refined his Primordial Spirit, would manage to restrain the Chaos Roc with the might of the sword light, thwarting the Roc's every move.

Hmm!

It let out a low growl, sensing the true "Optimus Sword" now besieging the Chaos Roc amidst the multitude of crimson meteorites that vexed the creature the most.

It was clueless as to when the Divine Sword had reached the ocean's depths.

Could it be near the Cold Abyss Entrance?

The Cold Domain Bear was filled with confusion and uncertainty, its mind teeming with unanswered questions.

As the de facto sovereign of the Firefly Starfield, it considered the frigid star concealed within the Cold Abyss Entrance an extension of itself.

Yet, in this scenario, the "Optimus Sword" had arrived mysteriously at the Cold Abyss Entrance and remained concealed there, all without its knowledge!

With a mighty roar, it turned its attention to the galaxy where the thirty-six Totem Pillars stood.

The Totem Pillars, towering millions of feet tall and spanning hundreds of acres in width, shimmered with glows of gold, obsidian, and deep blue. Each pillar was adorned with intricate and mystical demonic script.

The demonic inscriptions, like ancient demons from a bygone era, manifested in their primeval forms from millions of years past.

At that moment, thirty-six towering totem pillars, ignited by the blood energy of the Chaos Roc, reawakened the ancient demonic inscriptions. Yet, one by one, their brilliance faded into obscurity.

The inscriptions, once vivid, rapidly blurred.

Each ancient demon, as if ready to burst forth and tear into Alonso, seemed to be seized by an unseen force and forcibly drawn into the pillars.

Clutching his silver war pike and a mysterious crystal orb, Alonso summoned the not-yet-repaired Element Cage, enveloping himself within it. He exhaled deeply.

He remained at the heart of the Ancient Fey Formation, encircled by the lofty totem pillars that stretched to the starry vault above. But the horrifying world that once threatened to collapse space and annihilate all life had crumbled in an instant. The overwhelming demonic energy that once shook him to his core no longer flooded over him.

"What's going on?"

Alonso ascended slowly, spear in hand, and noticed that none of the massive demonic totem pillars were assaulting him anymore.

It seemed as though all the power the Chaos Roc had infused into them had been completely siphoned away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In that moment, the thirty-six totem pillars soared through the void, hurtling towards the location that should have been a river of sword light.

Following their trajectory, Alonso was utterly astounded by the spectacle before him.

He beheld the Chaos Roc, now a colossal fish. He saw the sea of sword light, like a radiant starfield, enveloping the Chaos Roc. He witnessed the countless sword beams that relentlessly struck the Chaos Roc every second.

The sword lights were so brilliant and fierce that even from afar, they caused his skin to tingle with pain.

He also observed numerous prism-shaped crimson meteors, employing the legendary "Optimus Nine Slashes," cleaving into the Chaos Roc, tearing away massive chunks of flesh and silver scales.

The savage Starry Behemoth, much like the Violent Bear before it, had its blood scattered across the cosmos.

Droplets of blood, large as millstones and heavy as mountains, brimmed with immense blood energy.

The eyes of the Chaos Roc, forged from the essence of the sun and moon, were now filled with blood. Gazing upon them, they appeared to be submerged in two vast, blood-red lakes.

Atop the Dragon Slash Platform, the Chaos Roc, in a dire state, remained perfectly still, unaffected by the chaos around it.

Yu Yuan stood as rigid as a sword, one hand gripping the sheath, his head bowed, his eyes coldly observing the Chaos Roc below, besieged by a thousand swords.

His gaze upon the Chaos Roc was reminiscent of a legendary, undefeated Divine King surveying his vanquished foes.

Alonso involuntarily closed his eyes.

After a slight shake of his head, he opened them once more, only to be greeted by the unchanged scene.

Shock overtook Alonso; his mouth agape, his body rigid, he was motionless for an extended period.

It was as if his soul had momentarily detached from his body, leaving him without control, unable to synchronize the tremors of his spirit.

It wasn't until the Violent Bear's howl pierced the air that he snapped back to reality.

Gradually, the sensation of his soul reuniting with his body returned. Alonso closed his eyes once more, taking longer this time before reopening them to once again fix his gaze on the Chaos Roc's position.

After what seemed an eternity, the great commander of the Asura Clan took a deep breath and whispered in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

His words echoed the sentiments of the three Great Sword Immortals, Jun Chen, the Death Crane, and others who had witnessed the same incredulity.

"Commander!"

Ciara, Demian, and the other two surviving Platinum Asuras hurried to Alonso's side, gathering around him.

Ciara, in particular, felt as though she had just awakened from a nightmare in which she had become a puppet of the Chaos Roc, repeatedly defying Sabonis's inquiries.

Her awakening coincided with the moment the Chaos Roc was ensnared by the Sky Opening Array.

"My King! You must find me at once!"

As Ciara spoke, the Frost Well she had refined abruptly departed from her body and settled at Alonso's feet.

The instant his foot touched the Frost Well, Alonso's soul seamlessly merged with that of the Asura King Sabonis.

What's more...

A surge of blood energy from Sabonis erupted from the well, furiously flooding into Alonso, inflating his slender frame as if it were being pumped with air.

The natural spikes on his shoulders, knees, and elbows began to regrow, emerging sharper and more chilling than before.

Demian, Ciara, and the other two Platinum Asuras watched with exhilaration. They immediately understood that the Asura King Sabonis had sensed the monumental upheaval in the Firefly Starfield. Though he could not be present, he had channeled a multitude of his powers into Alonso's being.

As a result, Alonso not only swiftly regained his combat strength, but he also became more formidable than before.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Element Cage, previously ripped apart by the Starfrost Sword, miraculously wove itself back together during Alonso's recovery period. The golden lightning and silver threads within the cage seemed to grow even more concentrated.

Alonso's expression was unreadable as he covertly communicated with Sabonis. His gaze shifted between the Violent Bear and the Chaos Roc, which was encircled by the Sky Opening Array.

"Blood of the giant beast!"

Yu Yuan, stationed above on the Dragon Slash Platform, watched as massive drops of blood, large as millstones, detached from the body of the Chaos Roc, prompting a subtle shift in his demeanor.

Boom!

In an instant, the Dragon Slash Platform teleported beneath the Chaos Roc, besieged by the Sky Opening Array. This extraordinary platform, crafted from Heaven Opening Divine Stone, suddenly expanded a millionfold.

Positioned directly below the massive beast, the Dragon Slash Platform resembled an inverted umbrella, catching each life-infused drop of blood.

Each drop of the Chaos Roc's blood that landed on the Dragon Slash Platform fell as if into a lake of life within two distinct realms.

The wondrous Dragon Slash Platform effortlessly collected all the blood from the Chaos Roc.

Inside the purple-gold dragon egg, the heart of the young Spinosaurus quickened as it sensed the blood of its kin raining down.

"Uh!"

Yu Yuan, standing on the Dragon Slash Platform, could see each drop of the Chaos Roc's blood merge with the earth inside the platform, blending like water into the sea, instantly becoming part of the Dragon Slash Platform.

Beneath the surface, a supremely pure life force seamlessly integrated into the purple-gold dragon egg.

Consequently, the dragon egg radiated with a regal glow of purple and gold.
