C1391 The Exquisiteness of the Solar Spirit
*Roar!*
Following a frenzied roar, Yu Yuan, clutching the Baneblade, underwent another transformation. The gleaming silver armor and the distinctive spikes of the Shura vanished without a trace. His body swelled dramatically, his skin turning rough, cracked, and sprouting a thick layer of gray and white fur. As his bones thickened, his muscles rose in powerful relief, a testament to both strength and beauty.
"Sky-Shaking Ape!" Death Crane exclaimed in shock.
Before his very eyes, Yu Yuan's body surged in size, morphing into a giant ape with a human face and immeasurable brute strength. He wielded the Baneblade, now like a colossal blood-red cudgel, and brought it crashing down with a surge of Bloodwraiths.
With a thunderous impact, Alonso's golden form was sent hurtling into the dark expanse of the starry sky.
Yu Yuan grew even more formidable, transforming in an instant into a hundred-foot-tall Sky-Shaking Ape. His entire being radiated a wild, warlike aura, unafraid of any challenger in the cosmos.
The overwhelming demon energy burst forth like a breached dam, creating a bloody tide at his feet and throughout the surrounding starscape.
In this moment, Yu Yuan had become the second master of the Baneblade, embodying the ferocious Sky-Shaking Ape of Shadow's Keep. Wielding Bloodhell, he battled against numerous formidable foes in extraterrestrial space.
The Sky-Shaking Ape's resilience and astonishing strength were fully exemplified in Yu Yuan. Even as Alonso fell, Yu Yuan boldly engaged in close-quarters combat. His skin, tough as armor, withstood punctures from Alonso's spiked elbows and knees without shedding a drop of blood.
This indicated that even a Golden Shura as mighty as Alonso could not penetrate the Sky-Shaking Ape's sturdy hide or internal organs without the aid of his silver lance.
The battle-hungry Sky-Shaking Ape typically had eyes red with rage, resembling a cosmic giant beast in its unreasoning fury. Yet, Yu Yuan's gaze remained lucid, devoid of any trace of insanity.
He kept his cool, working in tandem with Tian Zang and Zhou You, relentlessly using the Baneblade to slice through Alonso's sacred light shield.
"Sky-Shaking Ape!"
Jun Chen of the Skyreach Consortium hovered in midair, his sleeves billowing with a dramatic flourish.
Streams of starlight cascaded down like resplendent lightning, converging above Mo Baichuan's head.
The Frost Beasts, emerging from the ancient city within the depths of Mo Baichuan's gaze, were eradicated one by one by Jun Chen's meteoric lightning.
Quickly, Mo Baichuan's spiritual wisdom was restored, purging the peril lurking within his psyche.
"The Baneblade has had seven masters, and it can morph into any one of them! It appears capable of harnessing the bloodline powers of those individuals and the archdemon, executing their masterful techniques..."
Jun Chen had a revelation, his shock intensifying.
Indeed.
Next, Yu Yuan, once he had adjusted to the Sky-Shaking Ape's method of assault, abruptly shifted into a Forgeroses cultivator with a build reminiscent of Zhongli Dapan.
Boom! Boom!
Transformed into the Forgeroses cultivator, he lacked the brute strength of the Sky-Shaking Ape and the abnormal resilience, yet his movements were swift and elusive, darting about like a flicker of lightning.
At this moment, the Baneblade, known as Bloodhell, truly seemed to become a blood-soaked inferno. With each slash, the interwoven blood patterns caused Alonso's bloodline to recoil in discomfort.
Tian Zang targeted his soul, weaving through the battlefield, imposing spatial constraints. Occasionally, Rift Cutters would stealthily strike where he stood.
The Death Crane lingered in the void, its piercing cries heralding the infiltration of ashen death blood particles into Alonso's gaping wounds.
The moment the Death Crane's vital energy, imbued with Death Magic, penetrated his flesh, the Shura's legendary regenerative power was rendered ineffective.
Alonso's golden blood frothed, bubbling up, yet the flesh fibers simply could not reconnect.
Beyond the original creator from the Artifact Sect and the Divine Level forger, the subsequent six masters of the Baneblade were all formidable figures brimming with vitality.
They included the Sky-Shaking Ape, Atenza of the Shura, a ninth-level warrior from the Devil Palace, a Forgeroses cultivator, and a Demon God from the Blood Fiend.
Each met their end through the Baneblade's backlash, ultimately becoming entwined as Bloodwraiths.
Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit established a profound resonance with the Bloodwraiths the moment he grasped the Baneblade. He became privy to their histories and grasped the intricacies of their bloodline mysteries, as well as their preferred combat styles and techniques.
His hunch was correct; his Solar Spirit Body was likely the most suited entity to wield the Baneblade in the Infinite Galaxy!
From its inception, the Solar Spirit Body, an anomaly of the cosmos, was fully recognized by the Baneblade. To the Baneblade, Yu Yuan's first life was merely an object of fear and compliance...
But to his Solar Spirit, it was a matter of recognition, followed by complete acceptance.
The two were distinctly different.
"Platinum Shura, Sky-Shaking Ape, Forgeroses cultivator..."
While mulling over these thoughts, he employed the Forgeroses' combat style, relentlessly applying pressure to Alonso.
In that moment, he felt that even if his real body's heart, liver, and spleen were to burst, his Solar Spirit Body could still summon life essence to regenerate his organs!
As long as the Solar Spirit remained unscathed, any severe injuries to his real body could be healed!
Given enough time and ample life essence, he would be invincible.
"The Solar Spirit Body is indestructible; therefore, my flesh will never perish!"
A smile crept across his face as he realized the wonders of the Solar Spirit Body and that his years of endurance and anticipation had not been wasted.
This body, which had consumed so much of his vital energy and Soul Power, had nearly depleted all his Solar Spirit reserves, yet it had not let him down.
"Alonso is no match for me."
Jun Chen's bamboo flute directed a cascade of starlight downward, shattering Alonso's golden shield and pulverizing numerous silver lightning bolts, sending Alonso plummeting once again.
Mo Baichuan and Tian Zang, now back in the fray, seized the opportunity to launch another assault from above.
Yu Yuan and Zhou You shared a glance and decided to join the attack.
The expansive wings of the Death Crane unfurled, spreading a death aura that enshrouded a swath of the Star River.
Fine particles of death energy fell like a gentle rain, eroding Alonso's flesh and blood.
The Shura commander found himself beleaguered by formidable adversaries from the Everlands amidst the chaos of the Glimmerdrift Nebula's destruction.
On the other side, the Dire Bear stood motionless, observing Alonso with an indifferent gaze as he was besieged. It chose not to intervene, exuding a sense of calm restraint, as though it had anticipated that Alonso's many schemes would inevitably lead to this outcome.
The Frost Well had been destroyed, and without Sabonis, no one could decisively alter the grand scheme of things.
Meanwhile, the four platinum Shura concealed near the Abyssal Leviathan were oblivious to the events unfolding in the Star River, unaware that Alonso's plans had come to naught.
With a low growl, the bear watched in astonishment as the Wintermaw, shrouded in cold fog, slowly descended onto the Dragon Slaying Stage.
Inside the Dragon Slaying Stage, Yu Yuan's real body watched anxiously as the Wintermaw, enveloped by the cold fog, passed through the thin veil of light and entered the stage.
If the Frost Well could be likened to a well, then the Wintermaw would be akin to a ladder shaft, not only broader but also significantly longer than the Frost Well.
The Wintermaw, shimmering with crystalline cold light, passed through the light screen and into the inner world of the Dragon Slaying Stage, where the spiritual energy array concealed within the shaft sprang into action.
Yu Yuan, as the master of the Dragon Slaying Stage, could sense that over a dozen arcane circles had been activated.
With the entrance of the Wintermaw, the presences of the Chronowyrm and the frost wyrm stirred to life.
"It's indeed feasible!" Yu Yuan thought, his spirits uplifted. His mind, like a tether, guided the Wintermaw to the resting place of the frost wyrm, deliberately positioning it at the dragon's head.
The Wintermaw gently settled...
With a hiss, fine threads of ice and lightning permeated the earth from the base of the shaft, mending the fragmented and cracked patterns deep within the Dragon Slaying Stage.
Yu Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his face broke into a wide grin.
The enigmatic Wintermaw concealed the peak powers of the frost wyrm and the Chronowyrm. The might of these two Dragon Gods had carved numerous Wintermaws, bringing stability to the Everlands and allowing its inhabitants to live in peace and devote themselves to their cultivation.
The refinement of the Dragon Slaying Stage and the construction of its internal world were empowered by the might of three Dragon Gods. Consequently, upon the establishment of "Wintermaw," it naturally assisted in repairing the fractured cosmic order of the Dragon Slaying Stage!
