C1375 Begging for Peace

Jee Ningshuang and her two companions were locked in fierce combat with four Platinum Asuras. Deep within the earth, where the very laws of nature were unraveling, a dark red shadow encircled by nine flames took the form of the Glorious Heavenly Wheel. Mo Baichuan was at its heart.

As a member of one of the Vast Expanse's five supreme forces, it was only natural for him to be in close proximity to the three Great Sword Immortals of the Sword Sect. His presence there was strategic, intended for a surprise attack on Demian, Ciara, and the other Platinum Asuras to ensure Du Yuan wouldn't meet his end.

After all, Du Yuan was the most severely injured and the most vulnerable to a fatal blow from the Asuras.

"The Chaos Roc has sought me out before, proposing an alliance to confront the powers within the Firefly Starfield. He's indifferent to the fate of the Asuras, the merchants, and the Divine Soul Sect. His only desire is you..." Mo Baichuan's voice emerged, calm and collected.

Yu Yuan's face remained impassive, yet his mind was a whirlwind of strategy. The Chaos Roc had always been without allegiance. During the fall of the Oblivion Starfield, it had collaborated with the Babel Chamber of Commerce, enabling Lim Zhuyun to emerge from the depths of the Nether Abyss and enter the Oblivion Starfield through the Cold Abyss Entrance, delivering her into his hands.

Yet, behind the scenes, the Chaos Roc had been conspiring with Sabonis and the Great Demon God Grec. Once suppressed by the Demon Phoenix in the Ember Waters, the Chaos Roc now sought to broker a clandestine deal through Mo Baichuan with the supreme forces, aiming to gain access to the Cold Abyss Entrance as a bargaining chip to possess Yu Yuan.

Glancing up, Yu Yuan's gaze fell upon the Chaos Roc, whose wounds continued to multiply. His eyes turned icy as he recognized the beast's relentless self-interest.

To the Chaos Roc, whether human or demon, any sentient being was expendable.

"Alonso seems oddly fixated on the Dragon Slash Platform beneath your feet, not on the Chaos Roc or the Optimus Sword," Mo Baichuan whispered from the shadows.

"Dragon Slash Platform?"

Yu Yuan shifted his attention from the Chaos Roc to the luminescent Divine Stone at his feet. Unlike the rest, who saw only a murky glow, he could perceive the true spectacle hidden within the Dragon Slash Platform—the remains of dragons, one after another.

At first glance, he spotted the purple-gold dragon egg.

A Titan Spinosaurus hatchling!

Yu Yuan's heart trembled with realization. He understood that the Asura Clan's supreme commander was communicating with Asura King Sabonis through the Frost Well in the Dark Domain.

Why was Sabonis going to such lengths to aid Alonso's recovery, infusing him with his own vital blood energy?

Alonso had once unleashed a flurry of golden lightning and silver light within the microcosm of the Dragon Slash Platform, even catching a glimpse of that purple-gold dragon egg.

In that moment, Alonso's demeanor had changed; his eyes betrayed a complex, peculiar look.

Alonso hadn't lived long enough to discern what lay within the purple-gold dragon egg.

Yet Asura King Sabonis, aged to the point of seeking refuge in the Dark Domain for survival, might have sensed that a young Titan Spinosaurus was slowly growing inside that egg.

The Titan Spinosaurus was once the supreme ruler among colossal beasts, striking fear into all creatures!

Had it not been for the combined forces of other behemoths hunting the Titan Spinosaurus, the new era might never have dawned, and beings like the Devaputra, Asura, Star Race, and Dark Elfkind might not have risen to prominence in the glorious history of the Starfields.

Without the Titan Spinosaurus's extinction, there would have been no birth of ancient demon races, no ascendance of the Nagas, no humans reaching the pinnacle!

This king of colossal beasts was a true outlier, an enigma of the cosmos!

At this moment, the Chaos Roc, besieged by the Sky Opening Array and assailed by the Optimus Nine Slashes, was clearly not in the same league as the former king of giant beasts.

"Could it be that Alonso and Sabonis are plotting to seize the young beast?"

Yu Yuan inhaled the icy essence of the starry expanse, pondering in secret. Just then, he noticed the Cold Domain Bear, his steadfast ally, lumbering over with a cheerful grin.

It hovered alongside the Dragon Slash Platform.

With its arrival, the swirling cold mist that had enveloped the river of sword light began to pour into the world at the Cold Abyss Entrance, mending the torn realm barrier.

In a brief span, the crystalline barrier of the realm once again enveloped the chilly celestial body.

"Alonso and Asura King Sabonis might make a move against us."

Yu Yuan, pausing briefly, stood atop the Dragon Slash Platform and addressed the creature before him.

Its massive, mountain-like body tensed, seemingly skeptical of Yu Yuan's words. It cast a questioning look towards Alonso, seeking answers.

Alonso had been intently observing the Dragon Slash Platform and caught the creature's gaze. Known for his handsome features and a somewhat effeminate presence, he now appeared strikingly robust, his muscles taut with a disconcerting explosive power, as though he had transformed into someone else entirely.

With a slight smile, he bowed respectfully to the Violent Bear, maintaining his humble demeanor.

The Violent Bear's large eyes were clouded with confusion and incomprehension. It found nothing amiss in Alonso's behavior, which only deepened its doubts.

It reasoned that since Yu Yuan had wielded the Sky Opening Array to aid the Asura Clan in trapping the Chaos Roc, preventing many stars within the Firefly Starfield from shattering, Alonso wouldn't dare act rashly.

Moreover, Alonso was right beside Yu Yuan.

If Alonso were in communication with Sabonis, surely the Asura King would honor past loyalties.

Despite its intelligence, it struggled to find a reason for Alonso and the Asura King to target both itself and Yu Yuan.

Thus, it remained unconvinced by Yu Yuan's claim.

"Ah..."

Yu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Alonso had seen the growth of a young Spinosaurus Titan within the purple-gold dragon egg, but the Violent Bear had not.

Therefore, it could not fathom what lengths Sabonis and Alonso might go to for the offspring of such a formidable creature.

"Here!"

Yu Yuan, with a grave expression, pointed at the Dragon Slash Platform. "Within lies something that Sabonis and Alonso desperately want! Its worth surpasses the entire Firefly Starfield, even the life and death of the Chaos Roc! It's also far more valuable than the Cold Abyss Entrance!"

"For what's inside, the Asura King might dare to gamble everything!"

"Do you understand?"

"Wuu! Wuu!"

The Violent Bear uttered a few low cries and slowly bowed its head towards the Dragon Slash Platform.

Regrettably, it saw nothing.

In its memory lingered traces of Yu Yuan's first life and the Dragon Slash Platform.

It was aware that inside lay the corpse of a colossal dragon. The Asura Clan's greed was notorious—could their desire be for these dragon remains? Yet, wasn't the Chaos Roc just as valuable as a deceased Dragon God?

"You're mistaken!" Yu Yuan exclaimed sharply.

With a whoosh, a rare stone, reminiscent of the vast Azure Sea of the Universe, suddenly shot out from the cerulean depths. Small and bright like a twinkling star, the stone emitted a radiant glow.

The visage of the Yin Corpse King materialized within the stone, his face twisted in a grimace of bitterness and misery. He gazed at Yu Yuan, who stood upon the Dragon Slash Platform, and then at his master above, ensnared and besieged by the Sky Opening Array. "Why bring us both to ruin? You cannot kill my master; at best, you can only wound him severely."

Incredibly, the Yin Corpse King was proposing a truce!

Lim Zhuyun was nowhere to be seen within the stone's depths, likely concealed in shadow to avoid detection by Yu Yuan, lest her presence be counterproductive.

"Is this your suggestion, or his?" Yu Yuan asked with a cold chuckle, looking up at the behemoth still raining blood from above. "What's the matter? Has he finally learned to feel pain and fear?"

"Han Miaoyuan might arrive soon. My master wishes to avoid facing the Profound Dao Flag again, especially not while gravely injured. He has no desire to be subdued once more within the Boundless Great World," the Yin Corpse King lamented.

"Han Miaoyuan! The Profound Dao Flag!"

Yu Yuan's form shook slightly, and the Violent Bear let out a low growl.

"The Firefly Starfield borders the Silver Sand Starfield. This tremendous disturbance is bound to catch his attention."

The Yin Corpse King gave a slight nod. "The primary issue is that my master has been confined within the Sky Opening Array far too long. Moreover, Han Miaoyuan played a significant role in the array's creation. As long as he remains within the Silver Sand Starfield, he will inevitably sense the anomaly here."

With that, the Yin Corpse King turned his gaze to Jun Chen, the Death Crane, and Tianzang.

"Should the Profound Dao Flag make its appearance, none present here will escape unscathed."
