C1529 Extraordinary
Within the Dragon Slash Platform, Yu Yuan's Yin God entered and was struck with awe at the sight of the massive purple-golden dragon egg.
He observed the dragon egg, nestled in a river of blood from the Golden Dragon, cut into several segments, and noticed it was trembling ever so slightly.
The anomaly of the Dragon Slash Platform had caught him off guard.
Before departing, Zhong Chichen had delivered the third piece of the Dragon Slash Platform to Rovi, who used his blood essence to mend the shattered artifact.
The hatchling of the Titan spinosaurus within the dragon egg seemed to yearn for the Golden Dragon's bloodline above all else.
From the ancient era, the blood of the Naga's venerable patriarch held secrets of the lineage that were desperately needed.
Zhong Chichen had brought this Dragon God before the young creature.
As the hatchling drew the Golden Dragon's blood, it grew rapidly, for it seemed to complete what it had been lacking.
Now, within the dragon egg, the young beast appeared to be stretching its form, almost as if it were breathing.
The slight tremble of the purple-golden dragon egg caused the enigmatic Dragon Slash Platform to suddenly emanate a longing, as if craving the power from beyond.
Outside the thatched hut, Yu Yuan, through his Yin God, could sense the young beast's fondness and reliance on him as he gazed upon the dragon egg. There was also a plea...
With a mere thought, the Dragon Slash Platform flew from the Shenque acupoint and settled into his palm.
The miniaturized Dragon Slash Platform emitted a murky, opalescent glow, naturally generating a pull that drew in all the energy-laden impurities from the Iridescent Cloud Miasma Sea.
Inside the Dragon Slash Platform, Yu Yuan watched in astonishment as the chaotic and polluted aura from the Iridescent Cloud Miasma Sea was effortlessly cleansed upon entry, transforming into the exceedingly pure and familiar essence of Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi of the vast world!
As the hatchling breathed, the Dragon Slash Platform seemed to become an extension of its body, absorbing all external energies and converting them into Spiritual Qi.
Yu Yuan whispered, "Stop!"
The Dragon Slash Platform ceased its mystical display, and the young beast inside the purple-gold dragon egg showed a look of distress.
"Don't leave Hao Ran!"
Inside the grass hut, Yu Yuan's true form clutched the Dragon Slash Platform, first halting the young creature's instinctual actions. He then glanced up at the heavens and declared in a resonant tone, "We'll discuss this outside!"
Whoosh!
In a blink, both he and the Dragon Slash Platform vanished from the Iridescent Cloud Miasma Sea.
Tianzang and Jiaang Miaojie, noticing his abrupt disappearance, rushed to investigate.
"Where did he go?"
Jiaang Miaojie's bright eyes scanned the area. Her soul consciousness expanded, swiftly encompassing a hundred-mile radius, leaving no stone unturned, not even the insects beneath the earth.
Yet, Yu Yuan's soul presence was nowhere to be found.
"How should I know?"
Tianzang, with a furrowed brow, also employed Soul Arts and Devil Spell in his search, to no avail.
Without a word, Yu Yuan had vanished while they were meditating, which left Tianzang somewhat concerned and wondering what had occurred.
"I'll go inform the Ruins Divine King," Jiaang Miaojie said with a grave expression.
After a moment's hesitation, Tianzang added, "I'll notify Yan Qiling to reach out to the Chamber of Commerce."
...
High above, beyond the ninth heaven, at the boundary of the Heavenly Screen.
Yu Yuan, gripping the Dragon Slash Platform, gazed at the thin mist, sensing the boundless might intermingled within, along with the Dao laws that seemed intrinsically linked to the entire cosmos. He inhaled deeply and announced, "I need to get some fresh air."
With those words, he charged at the boundary wall, Dragon Slash Platform in hand.
Upon entry, he felt as though he was mired in an unseen bog, with hundreds of bizarre forces entangling his body like writhing eels.
"I said, I need some fresh air!" he huffed indignantly.
At his snort, all the encroaching strange forces vanished without a trace.
In a mere moment, he effortlessly shattered the wall's constraints and, with the Dragon Slash Platform, emerged into the vast, chilly expanse of outer space.
Surveying the dim, silent cosmos, the first things he spotted were several colossal meteorites.
These drifting space rocks, resembling bunkers and watchtowers, were manned by Yang cultivators from the Cold Yin Sect, Spirit Void Sect, Cloud Water Sect, and Thunder Sect, all of whom watched him with eyes full of caution and vigilance.
"Yu Yuan?"
"Why has he emerged?"
"What is he planning to do?"
The powerful cultivators rose abruptly, as if bracing for a formidable adversary.
Atop the meteorite lay artificial mountains and structures, a variety of apparatuses, and remnants of a recent gathering, with wine jars still scattered on the ground. Beyond these meteorites shone a luminous moon, from which distinct spatial turbulence emanated.
Narrowing his eyes, Yu Yuan discerned through the Dragon Slash Platform that a Galaxy Crossing was situated upon the moon. This crossing enabled Yang cultivators and experts of the Unrestrained Stage to traverse to other crossings, sparing them the arduous journey across the vast starry sea.
The moon was adorned with more palaces and operational arrays, where divine lights interwove and formidable energies surged. He sensed the presence of Wei Zhuo, the leader of the Thunder Sect, several Great Sword Immortals from the Sword Sect, and formidable figures from the Devil Palace and Demon Palace.
In the distance, far from the moon, a grand sun hung in the void. Within this sun, a dominant figure loomed, seemingly filling the entire fiery sphere.
Despite the vast distance, Yu Yuan recognized that the individual within was none other than Qin Luo, the current leader of the Red Devil Sect. Previously, Lee Tianxin of the Primordial Yang Sect had held this position. Following Lee Tianxin's demise, Qin Luo had assumed control of the sun that bathed the Vast Expanse, upholding the duty of its protection while nurturing his Dharma.
Beyond the Vast Expanse, meteorite fortresses were strewn about, accompanied by the moon and the blazing sun. Above, the five supreme forces, seven lower sects, and practitioners from the Red Devil Sect, among others, of the Yang God and Unrestrained Stage, watched over the realm.
As Yu Yuan shattered the barrier with the Dragon Slash Platform and burst forth from the Vast Expanse, innumerable eyes turned his way.
"Much ado about nothing," Yu Yuan chuckled, paying them no mind as he steered the Dragon Slash Platform towards the horizon.
"Stay calm," came Qin Luo's voice from the great sun. He instructed the cultivators on the moon and the meteorites to go about their business without fixating on Yu Yuan.
Whoosh!
The Dragon Slash Platform, with Yu Yuan aboard, soared further and further away from the vast expanse. Only when the myriad of powerful beings gathered around the expanse could no longer track him did they finally come to a halt.
Yu Yuan turned to gaze deeply at the blue aura shimmering behind him, marveling at the immense and hazy vastness.
"The heart of the galaxy, a treasure trove coveted by countless alien races, is truly a sight to behold."
Having witnessed numerous domain boundaries within the Outland Star River, Yu Yuan was still captivated by the Vast Expanse's beauty as he observed it from above, feeling a profound sense of awe.
No civilization within the Stars Realm could match the brilliance of the Vast Expanse, nor could any other place boast the creation of so many formidable beings.
The combined might of the Human and Demon Races within a single Vast Expanse was enough to deter all the races of the heavens.
What a world-shaking phenomenon!
"That will do."
His Yin God, left behind on the Dragon Slash Platform, addressed the young Titan spinosaurus nestled within the purple-golden dragon egg.
The young creature radiated a sense of joy.
The next moment, the Dragon Slash Platform resting in his palm naturally began to draw energy from its surroundings.
Any and all kinds of energy!
In the desolate chill of the starry void, a medley of bizarre energies, luminescence, impurities, toxins harmful to the body, and the minute blood particles remaining after the death of a creature, permeated everything.
The Dragon Slash Platform could absorb any form of energy, regardless of its type or properties.
Or rather, the young Titan spinosaurus could engulf it all!
Its innate, mysterious gift, when bestowed upon the Dragon Slash Platform, transformed the Divine Stone in Yu Yuan's palm into a wondrous purifier and filter.
A complex array of strange energies was refined to their purest form, shedding their useless dross, and funneled into the three miniature worlds within the Dragon Slash Platform, all converting into pristine spiritual energy!
Yu Yuan could almost perceive an inconceivable Starry Behemoth gliding across the infinite galaxy.
With a mighty inhalation, it effortlessly consumed the myriad energies scattered throughout the cosmos.
It refined these energies with ease, transmuting them into the purest spiritual force to sustain its body and soul.
It seemed there was no energy in the endless heavens that it could not assimilate.
Nor was there any flesh and blood creature it could not digest.
This included the Starry Behemoths of equal stature, equally wise and formidable!
The supreme Titan Spinosaurus!
Yu Yuan's heart trembled profoundly. In that moment, he realized with stark clarity that by nurturing this young creature within the Dragon Slash Platform, and with its return to the third Dragon Slash Platform, the blood of the Tenth Level Golden Dragon God had infused the purple-golden dragon egg, prompting a remarkable metamorphosis in the young beast!
The Dragon Slash Platform itself underwent magical changes beyond Yu Yuan's wildest dreams.
It was a miracle that not even he, in his first life as the master of the Dragon Slash Platform, had managed to achieve!
The pure spiritual energy, like a shower of dew, cascaded into the three miniature worlds within the Dragon Slash Platform, causing their territories to expand and broaden.
Beneath the earth, rivers rich in spiritual energy began to form, as if they could evolve into ponds nestled within valleys.
Perhaps even into deep seas!
The expanse of land seemed poised to develop into river valleys and mountain ranges over the years, fostering the growth of plants and flowers, and giving life to countless beings!
"Does this remind anyone else of the Vast Ocean?"
Yu Yuan marveled, his astonishment at the transformation within the Dragon Slash Platform rendering him momentarily bewildered.
Then, a slight tremor stirred in his soul.
He remembered the legend...
In the beginning, the gravely wounded Titan Spinosaurus had sought refuge in the Vast Ocean, where it eventually perished in its depths.
From that moment on, the Vast Expanse underwent radical changes. The rate at which it consumed the energy of the stars multiplied exponentially, purifying it into spiritual energy suitable for all living creatures.
The legacy of its blood, power, and consciousness gave rise to the Nagas that dominated the Vast Expanse.
Its arrival laid the groundwork for the Vast Expanse to become the cosmic hub!
Now, a young beast carrying its lineage, incubated within the Dragon Slash Platform, was growing in strength and gradually revealing its wondrous nature.
The innate power of the young beast also transformed the Dragon Slash Platform.
It became extraordinary.
