C1479 A Piece of Cake!

Above the Rainbow Ocean, Feng Zhong of the Skyreach Consortium suddenly gazed into the dark night sky. There, a silver object shone like a bright moon, casting its light over the swamp below. The vibrant and thick miasma that hovered over the swamp couldn't obscure the penetrating silver light.

Counselors of the Order of Healing, such as Du Yazi, Tong Rui, and Ye Hen, mistakenly believed that the Skyreach Consortium and Boulderdawn were plotting to eliminate Zhong Chichen, and their faces fell as if they were in mourning.

"Isn't that the Starmoon Sect's artifact, the Fallen Star Eyes?" Loong Jie grunted, a dangerous flame flickering in the depths of his golden eyes.

"Fallen Star Eyes!" Feng Zhong whispered urgently, quickly soothing the lecherous dragon to prevent any rash actions.

In an instant, the Fallen Star Eyes effortlessly penetrated the Shadowflame Blight Array, gliding through the miasma and smoke to land gracefully in front of the hut. The poison and haze seemed incapable of tainting the Fallen Star Eyes or affecting those aboard.

"Mr. Feng, I'm here on President Lyi's orders, just to take a look. Don't worry, we mean no harm, and we're certainly not here to harm the Sect Master of the Order of Healing," Tan Junshan's voice floated down from the Fallen Star Eyes, hovering a few meters above.

Standing beside him was Liu Ying, whose beauty had blossomed further, her eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation. After forming her Solar Spirit, she had chosen not to immediately venture to the extraterrestrial Star River upon hearing of Yu Yuan's return. Instead, she accompanied Tan Junshan to the Rainbow Ocean.

Joining her atop the Fallen Star Eyes were two others: Chen Liangquan, the current ruler of the Songbird Empire, of both human and Dawnbringers lineage, and Canli, who had traveled great distances to present him with a holy weapon of the Dawnbringers. Canli, the darling of the heavens and earth, with an Altar of Rebirth within her, had been conversing and laughing with Liu Ying throughout their journey, their rapport growing ever stronger.

At that moment, the two women were still engaged in hushed conversation.

Tan Junshan, Chen Liangquan, and others...

Feng Zhong, the leader of the Windspeakers, was taken aback to see such individuals arriving with the Fallen Star Eyes. He quickly stepped out of his house, asking, "Is this a message from President Lyi?"

He was well aware of Tan Junshan's realm and prowess, understood Chen Liangquan was no easy adversary, and recognized Canli, who harbored the Altar of Rebirth within her, as a member of the Dawnbringers.

He dared not show any disrespect.

Aside from Loong Jie, Du Yazi and others emerged and bowed in reverence.

The old dragon remained by the furnace, pressing down the lid. He could see everything from inside, so he stayed put in the thatched hut.

"The situation is as follows: although Boulderdawn has given their word, many remain uneasy. The Wintermaw, located within the Dragon Slaying Stage, is critical to the safety of the Everlands."

Tan Junshan offered a brief explanation before smiling and adding, "We're here to ascertain what's happening beneath the surface, to ensure Yu Yuan is unharmed."

"Is it possible to see?" Loong Jie was astonished.

Despite his own formidable power and lineage, he couldn't penetrate the earth to view its tainted core.

He had heard of Tan Junshan's exceptional nature but doubted that Tan Junshan could truly peer beneath the surface with his current level.

"With this, and with her help!"

Tan Junshan gestured towards the Fallen Star Eyes and then to Canli, the saintess of the Dawnbringers, "Combining their powers will reveal what lies below."

Loong Jie wore an expression of skepticism.

Canli offered a slight, coy smile. Before the onlookers, her delicate white hands touched down on the silver-white jade platform in front of Liu Ying.

Her hands radiated a brilliant light, a sacred and immaculate glow emanating from the Altar of Rebirth within her, which illuminated the Fallen Star Eyes in front of Liu Ying to a dazzling intensity.

It was as if a single moon had multiplied into dozens!

On the jade platform, the figure of Yu Yuan slowly became visible.

On the surface of Seven-Colored Lake, Yu Yuan, positioned on the Dragon Slaying Stage, had just placed the blood-red flag into the Crucible of Evil when a pitch-black thundersnake coiled around his neck.

The sight of a headless knight on a ghostly steed charging at Yu Yuan was witnessed by all.

Canli and Liu Ying worked in unison, causing the images within the display to shift continuously.

The onlookers also glimpsed Huangyin, the refined specter within the wooden tombstone, the Evil Curse lurking in the gray fox, and Yuan Qingxi in the midst of his incantations...

The scenes morphed constantly, bringing everything into sharper focus.

But when the image of the God of Ghosts, White Bone, suddenly appeared...

White Bone felt a disturbance and, with a frown, he casually swiped his empty hand through the air.

That single gesture left Canli and Liu Ying with a slender line of blood across their foreheads, as if they had been dealt a heavy blow.

The images on the jade platform froze, centered on Yu Yuan, revealing only the ghosts and demonic spirits close enough to be attacking him.

"Who is that person?" Canli exclaimed in shock.

"That is the supreme being of the Land of Terror, the God of Ghosts, White Bone, who has recently emerged from the Everlands," Feng Zhong explained, taking a deep breath. "He has already shown restraint. Do not attempt to spy on him from the shadows; it is a grave disrespect. He is the highest authority in the Everlands. No one should observe him in such a manner without proper introduction."

Bitterness tinged Canli's expression. "Understood."

From that point forward, they could only observe the immediate vicinity around Yu Yuan through the Fallen Star Eyes.

Yu Yuan reached out, seizing a segment of the thundersnake's body amidst a flurry of electric strikes.

Regrettably, they were unable to hear Yu Yuan's voice or discern his shouts.

Deep beneath the ground, Yu Yuan's grip on the snake's flesh allowed him to feel dozens of icy lightning bolts piercing straight into his Mindscape, threatening to obliterate his soul in an instant.

The Terra Fiend, having refined this mutated thundersnake, was indeed capable of harnessing the creature's innate bloodline talent to assail the souls of the living.

"Was it you who emboldened him to have the thundersnake coil around my neck?"

As Yu Yuan grasped the serpent, he couldn't help but glance at Huangyin. "Shouldn't a new generation Terra Fiend be more cautious than you?"

Huangyin's expression turned grim, yet he remained silent.

Sizzle sizzle!

Dozens of icy bolts of lightning, upon entering Yu Yuan's Mindscape, flared brilliantly for a moment before disintegrating into ash.

The mutated thundersnake, sensing danger, began to thrash in panic.

Yu Yuan then firmly grasped the snake's body and yanked it from around his neck.

"Terra Fiend..."

With a cold snort, a sword's will surged within Yu Yuan's arm bone.

Strands of crimson sword light, imbued with the essence of Spirit Destruction, Soulsever, and Dread Spawn, transformed into numerous tiny swords of light as they penetrated the snake's body.

Both the mutated thundersnake's lineage and the Terra Fiend lurking in its head were perforated with countless holes in an instant.

Despite this, a pale green corpse poison continued to rain down on him, eroding his vitality and sapping his strength. Yet, it failed to damage his core.

Whoosh!

A sphere of purple flame burst forth from the head of the snake.

The new generation Terra Fiend, realizing the dire straits, willingly abandoned the thundersnake's body and shrieked for Huangyin's aid.

At that moment, the Crucible of Evil, which had been lying in wait, relentlessly pursued under the guidance of Yu Yiyi.

With a burst of colorful radiance, the Dragon Slaying Stage shone brightly.

The corpse poison and phosphorous fire, as if purified, vanished without a trace.

Yu Yuan, having left the Dragon Slaying Stage, paid no heed to whether Yu Yiyi could capture the new generation Terra Fiend and plunged headlong toward the Seven-Colored Lake.

"I'm eager to discover what kind of enigma at the lake's bottom emits an aura of space!"

Even the Flood Dragon, a devil soul powered by the Seven-Colored Lake, could not halt his descent.

The Flood Dragon burst forth from the lake's surface just as Yu Yuan plunged into the waters with a splash.

Huangyin, the specter within the wooden tombstone, along with the gray fox and Yuan Qingxi, were taken aback.

It seemed they had not anticipated that Yu Yuan would forsake the Dragon Slaying Stage to dive into the lake in his true form.
