C1551 The Direction!

The Sky Shocking Emperor sat cross-legged, his expression one of utter despair as he rambled incoherently, unable to come to terms with his reality.

He could not accept the fact that he was dead...

Yu Yuan remained silent, observing the emperor with a furrowed brow. After a moment of contemplation, he realized that the emperor's plight mirrored that of Lee Yuchan. Both had practiced the Martyr Spell, and after consuming too many heroic spirits, they failed to fully assimilate them, leading to possession.

Now, the emperor's soul appeared cleansed, likely thanks to Taishi's intervention.

Past oversights had led to bouts of insanity, culminating in the present predicament.

"Sigh..."

Yu Yuan shook his head and let out a soft sigh. He then channeled the Yang God to carry Lee Sha's blood essence into the realm of the Dragon Slash Platform.

The incessant cries of the infant boy felt to him like the yearning of a child hungry for milk.

Lee Sha's blood essence, combined with the chilling Frost Energy, was the nourishment the infant desperately sought.

Upon Yu Yuan's arrival, the baby boy, who had been rolling on the icy rock, crawled eagerly toward him, his face alight with a hopeful smile.

Yu Yuan paused, then dropped the small glass bottle he was holding, which contained two drops of Lee Sha's silvery blood essence.

The baby boy immediately shifted his focus to the bottle, scurrying over and grasping it with his plump little hands before gulping down the precious fluid.

Rich and pure lunar energy flooded his body, transforming the subtle moon essence within Lee Sha's blood into delicate currents that seamlessly integrated into his bones and heart.

This potent lunar energy, merging with the earth's icy forces, spurred his rapid growth.

He was a being of flesh and blood, with a nascent intelligence. For the time being, his life seemed to thrive on just lunar energy and Frost Energy, requiring nothing more.

Yet, Yu Yuan sensed that in time, the boy would need additional sustenance, much like the extraterrestrial beings from beyond. Grains, fruits, and meats would become necessary as he matured.

Casting a glance toward the nearby Cold Abyss Entrance, Yu Yuan realized that the once severely damaged portal, brought to their attention by Jee Ningshuang, had been nearly fully restored.

It won't be long before the Cold Abyss Entrance is restored to its former state and ready for use once more. Yu Yuan planned to entrust both the Cold Abyss Entrance and the infant boy before him to the Cold Domain Bear. He would task the bear with raising the child and then assist in locating another Extreme Cold Starfield to properly establish the Cold Abyss Entrance.

"Taishi, why did you have Hantian seek me out? What issue needs resolving?" Yu Yuan's Yang God mused within the Dragon Slash Platform as the Emperor outside alternated between laughter and tears. His Yang God often experienced flashes of insight when deep in thought, allowing him to understand matters more profoundly.

Reid, the High Priest of the Devaputra Race, had mentioned before leaving the great hall that Yu Yuan's Yang God contained the essence of life, an essential force for the creation of new beings. Had the snow bear known this all along? Is that why it sought my assistance, to use a drop of its blood essence combined with the lunar spirit and the unique properties of the Dragon Slash Platform to bring this infant into existence?

One of the Titan spinosaurus's twin offspring was incubated by Taishi in the Plover Realm using Grec. The other one... was me, Yu Yuan silently contemplated.

A possibility suddenly dawned on him, and he squinted at another small glass bottle in his palm. This bottle contained an extra drop of blood essence, brought as a precaution should there be a need for more with the infant. Covering the bottle's mouth with his palm, he channeled the life-giving blood energy from his Yang God into the bottle. His crimson lifeblood flowed into the vessel, filling it with a thickening red mist.

Since the blood energy originated from him, he could distinctly feel Lee Sha's drop of blood essence drawing life force from the surrounding mist. Lee Sha, a Tenth Level member of the Mondnacht Clan, had been slain by Lin Daoke in a single strike, her body and soul extinguished, leaving behind only her blood essence, devoid of consciousness or spirit.

Lee Sha was indeed dead. Yet, Yu Yuan was aware that each drop of Lee Sha's silver-like blood essence contained not only rich and pure lunar energy but also numerous, exceedingly delicate Bloodline Crystal Chains.

Upon magnifying Lee Sha's blood a million times, one could observe thousands of delicate Bloodline Crystal Chains intermingling within it. Despite Lee Sha's demise, a single drop of her vital blood, contained within a tiny glass vial and invigorated by Yu Yuan's lifeblood energy, was actively drawing in the essence of life.

The silver blood, enriched by the lifeblood energy, caused the incredibly fine Bloodline Crystal Chains within to gradually thicken. They were growing!

Yu Yuan felt a slight tremor in his spirit as he continued to watch covertly, silently making deductions. He used the current scene and the ongoing transformations to predict the potential outcomes. After some time, he ceased the infusion of his lifeblood energy.

He sealed the glass bottle with a stopper and closed his eyes, pondering for a moment. In his mind's eye, he could almost see Lee Sha being resurrected through the drop of blood within the bottle. He surmised that if his lifeblood energy were boundless and could pour into it ceaselessly...

The drop of blood left behind after Lee Sha's passing could, through the growth of the Bloodline Crystal Chains, regenerate bones, organs, and meridians, potentially giving rise to a new Lee Sha! Yet, this new Lee Sha seemed to lack a soul; she was merely a vessel.

A vessel of infinite potential! For this vessel bore the imprint of all of Lee Sha's intricate bloodlines, with each Bloodline Crystal Chain representing the power she had mastered!

If Lee Sha's soul had not completely perished, if it still lingered in this world, she could inhabit this new vessel and achieve resurrection! She would only need to gradually fortify her new form and once again advance through her bloodline stages. There was hope that in the future, she could reclaim her status as a Peak of Tenth Level warrior of the Mondnacht Clan!

This was akin to the three simultaneous resurrection rituals that the Great Demon God Grec had undergone in both the outside world and the Origin Blood Continent. The source of life is not just the foundational force for creating new beings but also capable of reviving the Great Demon God Grec. Naturally, it could also bring Yu Yuan back to life!

His Yang God, having assimilated the blood essence of the Great Demon God Grec and the Giant Beast Amber from the Chaos Roc, should possess the full force of life's origin.

"Such a shame," he murmured, gazing at the glass vial in his hand with a touch of regret, unable to enact the thoughts in his mind.

Lee Sha's soul had perished, and for Yu Yuan to create a new body using the power of his life for a being who had reached the peak of the Tenth Level was a futile endeavor. The life energy required was astronomical, a sum so vast that even he could not withstand it.

Life, the power of life, the very essence of life itself!

In a flash of insight, Yu Yuan understood the deeper meaning behind Taishi's instruction for Hantian to seek him out.

He wanted Hantian to remind Yu Yuan of the most precious and core principle of his existence.

It was his Yang God! The Yang God, brimming with the essence of life, the Law of Life, was the Great Dao he needed to concentrate on!

Yu Yuan's pursuit of a breakthrough in the Unrestrained Stage should not be fixated on the soul but should instead delve into the true essence of life's power, resolutely seeking understanding on this path.

As for the soul's Great Dao from his first life, it was already securely in his grasp. Once he formed his Primordial Spirit in the future, what was his would remain his.

Just as Taishi, upon awakening and ascending, could effortlessly reclaim the Dao laws from Gu Xingkui's possession.

"However..."

In the external world, on the mid-lake island, he utilized the power of the Dragon Slash Platform to once again scrutinize the Sky Shocking Emperor.

After some time, he shook his head in resignation, realizing that the Sky Shocking Emperor was still insufficient.

The emperor's body, after countless years, had been reduced to mere bones, which Yu Yuan had managed to recover.

The flesh, organs, and so-called meridians he had conjured through dark arts were a jumbled mess, lacking any blood energy and not truly his own, thus amounting to nothing more than an empty shell.

The body that had died had not a single drop of blood left after so many years.

Without the essential ingredient, even the most skilled cannot produce results. Hantian was not a supreme being of another race, lacking their miraculous blood, and he didn't have a single drop of his own blood remaining.

Yu Yuan, despite possessing the power of life, was still unable to conjure a body for Hantian out of thin air.

"My advice is to traverse the Iridescent Cloud Miasma Sea and descend into the Foul World below. Tell them I sent you. Seek out Yu Zhu or Qiyan and request their aid. With the power of Colorful Lake, they can help you transform directly into an Earth Demon."

"The realm is overrun with Ghost Kings. Given Hao Yun's current state, it's improbable that a new Ghost God will emerge before Youyu is vanquished."

"As for you, complete your transformation into a demon. There's still hope for you on the path of the Great Demon God."

Yu Yuan spoke without concern for whether Hantian was listening.

He had his own ulterior motives. He believed that even if Hantian became an Earth Demon, as long as he continued to practice the Martyr Spell, he could one day ascend to godhood as an unconventional Great Demon God, and Yu Yuan could keep the Sky Shocking Emperor under his control.

He was confident that no matter how Hantian changed or how powerful he became, he could keep him in check.

Of course, this would require Yu Yuan to successfully integrate all the wonders of his first life in the future and take full command of the divine path.

In the days that followed, Hantian endured excruciating pain and fought valiantly.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuan, inspired by a daring new idea, had his Yang God discreetly reach out to the nearby merchants and relay a message to Lvliu at the Demon Palace.

Lee Sha, a Tenth Level being, had perished. Utilizing her blood essence seemed inappropriate for discerning the true essence of life.

Among the Demon Race, Yu Yuan trusted few as much as he did Yu Zhu from the God-Sealing Realm, with the exception of Lvliu, the former leader of the Demon Army.

Lvliu had assisted him on several occasions, and Yu Yuan felt it was time to return the favor.

Thus, merely half a day later, Lvliu made his way to the mid-lake island.

"Hantian, what brings you here as well?" Lvliu inquired with a furrowed brow, surveying the area. "Why choose this location?"
