C1485 Everything will be Fine

A faint phantom swayed dramatically within the crescent moon.

Within this phantom, one could barely make out the presence of Tan Junshan, who had infused a remnant of his soul into the Moon Soul, letting out a bizarre cry towards Yu Yuan.

The crescent moon, responding to his eerie call, hovered above Yu Yuan's head.

The seven-colored waters of the lake sparkled even more dazzlingly under the glow of the radiant crescent moon.

Yu Yuan looked up to see the vibrant seven-colored waters transformed into divine rays of light cascading down from the moon's luminescence.

"I've always been fearless. Is this news to you?"

Yu Yuan's smile beamed. Learning that Loong Jie and Chen Liangquan had also arrived brought him considerable relief.

He had been concerned that, in his absence, Yu Yiyi and the cauldron spirit would not withstand Huangyin's onslaught.

Now that Tan Junshan and the others were there, he felt confident that Yu Yiyi would be safe on the lake's surface.

He felt no need to inquire further.

"You have no idea how fearsome Rovi is!"

Tan Junshan's remnant soul, encapsulated within the crescent moon, spoke with a hint of awe: "Not even the Demon God Grec could extract a single wisp of vitality from him with the arcane arts of the Blood Fiend, let alone you."

Yu Yuan's brow furrowed at these words.

His real body and Solar Spirit, both at the lake's bottom, maintained a tight connection.

Concentrating, he slowly realized that the Solar Spirit's transformation into a massive blood cocoon had only managed to extract Xuanying's remnant soul and the tainted power from Rovi's Voidweaver form.

Xuanying, as the founder of the Terra Fiend, had used Rovi's body to practice the Terra Fiend's arcane at the Seven-Colored Lake.

Thus, in the depths of Rovi's flesh and blood, the tainted essence of the lake had been infused.

Clusters of devil soul thoughts also lingered in Rovi's soul, introduced by Xuanying.

Now that Xuanying had full control over this body, whenever she moved as Rovi, she wielded mostly the Spirit Magic she was well-versed in—the Earth Fiend Spirit Magic she had mastered over tens of thousands of years.

Additionally, there is the profound meaning of corruption in this realm.

Yet, the Spirit Decision technique of the Boulderdawn sect could restrain a Terra Fiend like Yuan Qingxi.

As a result, Xuanying's purple demonic hand, brimming with her own power and her sinister Spirit Magic, failed to gain the upper hand. Instead, it suffered a setback.

Conversely, the white jade hand she formed using Rovi's space magic was notably effective.

At this moment, the power stripped by Yu Yuan's blood cocoon, a Blood Fiend arcane, was only the part Xuanying had infused into Rovi's body.

The vital energy inherent to Rovi, the Voidweaver, remained intact.

He quickly realized that Tan Junshan wasn't bluffing; the Voidweaver chieftain had yet to exert his strength, merely indulging Xuanying's actions.

"Isn't Rovi ranked just below the Demon God Grec?" Yu Yuan mused.

In the crescent moon, Tan Junshan's phantom flickered weakly. But upon hearing Yu Yuan's words, it began to sway intensely.

"Kid, you have no idea how terrifying Rovi is! The truth is, Rovi's ranking fell behind Grec's because he has been missing for far too long!"

"His absence caused his ranking to be overtaken by Grec!"

"However, before his disappearance, he was ranked in the extraterrestrial Star River just behind Bertain of the Primal Demons, Cardo of the Dawnbringers, and Sabonis the Blood King. He was even ahead of Ballo among the Starborn!"

"His ranking dropped because everyone believed he was lost in the Maw of Oblivion, unable to further enhance his power, and slowly losing his existing strength. That's why Ballo and Grec eventually surpassed him."

"Do you realize that despite being missing for countless years, no one has dared to assume he's dead?"

"..."

Upon learning that the blood cocoon contained Rovi, Tan Junshan was visibly shaken.

After hearing his explanation, Yu Yuan, enveloped by the Solar Spirit, also found the situation daunting.

He had this nagging feeling...

He must do everything possible to prevent Rovi from emerging and regaining control of his body, which would cause Xuanying to vanish.

Because the Ancestral Terra Fiend, Xuanying, couldn't tap into the true strength of this body!

"Quick, get back up there and merge with the Dragon Slaying Stage!"

Tan Junshan's piercing cry came from within the crescent moon, sounding extremely urgent.

"Who's there?"

"Who's down below?"

Above the Seven-Colored Lake, Loong Jie and Chen Liangquan noticed the drastic change in Tan Junshan's demeanor. They realized that his crescent moon had discovered something beneath the lake!

"I have a really bad feeling about this! Truly, it's very unsettling!"

As Tan Junshan spoke, a succession of crescent moons soared out behind him.

He became fully alert amidst the multitude of crescent moons.

"The legendary Tan, the Demigod of the Starmoon Sect, certainly has something special about him."

Yuan Qingxi of the Bloodbrawlers nodded in approval and remarked, "The power of a Demigod at the peak of the Unbound Realm is indeed praiseworthy, and it clearly reflects the recognition you've received from the five major powers."

"Who is it?" Chen Liangquan called out again.

"It's the patriarch of the Voidweaver Clan, long missing and rumored to have been lost in the Maw of Oblivion. Another Ancestral Terra Fiend has fused with his devil soul. It seems he has gained his permission and approval..."

Tan Junshan said with a wry smile.

"Rovi!"

Chen Liangquan, usually so composed, suddenly drifted away from White Bone to stand alongside Loong Jie and Tan Junshan.

His left hand, tucked into his sleeve, clutched a crystal ball with distinct cracks. Pure blood magic flowed from his palm into the fractured orb.

Chen Liangquan's hand burst into dazzling light, illuminating the Seven-Colored Lake and revealing every detail within a thousand miles!

The light and divine brilliance emanating from the shattered crystal ball outshone the crescents behind Tan Junshan!

"Impressive! Truly impressive!"

Yuan Qingxi applauded as he watched Chen Liangquan wield the holy weapon of the Dawnbringers, feeling the turbulence of the Dawnbringers' bloodline. He sincerely added, "Now I understand why you were able to dethrone the First Female Emperor of All Ages from the Songbird Empire."

"Even as a human at the level of the Solar Spirit, you're not overwhelmingly extraordinary."

"But your Dawnbringers bloodline is at the ninth level!"

Yuan Qingxi's face registered utter astonishment.

It was widely acknowledged that human cultivators progressed from lower to higher realms at a rate usually surpassing that of otherkin of the same age.

For most hybrids, it was nearly impossible to possess a bloodline superior to their own realm.

Typically, a hybrid like Chen Liangquan would have a bloodline one or two levels below their own.

Having cultivated the Solar Spirit, Liangquan's Dawnbringers lineage should logically be two levels lower, around the sixth or seventh level.

To be on par was exceedingly rare.

Yet here he was, a cultivator of the Solar Spirit, with a Dawnbringers bloodline that had astonishingly reached the ninth level!

He had concealed his true power in the Everlands, usually presenting himself with the facade of a human realm, never revealing the formidable might of his hidden Dawnbringers lineage.

"I'm not as formidable as you."

Chen Liangquan's brow furrowed as he gazed at the moon ascending from the lake's depths. "A Terra Fiend patriarch merging with the body of a Voidweaver leader and gaining his approval is truly surprising. It seems I've underestimated the Terra Fiends, thinking they were only fit to be subjugated by me."

In the Songbird Empire, he had subdued several Terra Fiends and found nothing remarkable about them.

Now, his perspective had changed.

Whoosh!

First came the crescent moon, followed by Yu Yuan, and then a streak of scarlet light burst forth from the Seven-Colored Lake.

As the scarlet light emerged from the water, it swiftly entered Yu Yuan's chest, shrinking the fist-sized hole to the width of a finger.

"Hey! You brought my senior brother along?"

Upon arriving at the Dragon Slaying Stage, Yu Yuan's eyes brightened at the sight of the diminutive furnace in Loong Jie's grasp. "Let's all be aware that Rovi is concealed at the bottom of the Seven-Colored Lake."

"Hand over the furnace!"

He extended his hand toward Loong Jie.

"Of course."

Loong Jie passed it over without hesitation.

"Come forth!"

Huangyin and Xuanying, from beneath the lake, simultaneously summoned with their commanding tones.

The furnace that Loong Jie had relinquished was under a frenzied assault by Zhong Chichen. Ribbons of seven-colored light seeped out from the crevices of the lid.

Inside the furnace, Zhong Chichen's eyes had taken on a deep purple hue as he glared malevolently at Yu Yuan, who was in the process of receiving the furnace.

Wisps of seven-colored clouds burst forth from the crown of his head, swirling with malevolent thoughts and magic power. They transformed into a sinister purple, accelerating his descent into demonhood.

"Senior Brother, you'll be alright. I promise," Yu Yuan assured him with a gentle tone.
