C1588 A Leap
As the Chaos Roc bellowed, its gaze frequently darted toward the Dim Starfield, closely monitoring the dark red moon.
Clearly, it was cautious of the Yang Meridian's source and had no intention of lingering.
Its knowledge of the Yang Meridian far surpassed that of Yu Yuan. It was well aware that any creature entering the Dim Starfield would fall within the influence of the Yang Meridian's blood energy field.
In the Dim Starfield, completely suppressing the Yang Meridian and eradicating the Blood Devil Clan was nearly impossible.
The blood domain of the Supreme Demon Phoenix bore some resemblance to the Yang Meridian.
All formidable demons, including Peak warriors from beyond the heavens, would find themselves at a disadvantage when confronting the Demon Phoenix through their bloodlines, experiencing a weakening of their powers.
It was the Demon Phoenix's firm control over the vast blood energy that allowed her to unravel the mysteries of immortality through the Chaos Roc.
Similarly, if the Yang Meridian's source on the Origin Blood Continent were to capture the Chaos Roc alive and afford it sufficient time, it too could unlock the secrets of eternal life.
"Hmm?"
Yu Yuan, who was just about to withdraw, used the Dragon Slash Platform in his grasp to enhance his vision a thousandfold and was astonished to observe an unusual sight on the surface of the dark red moon.
The moon's surface bore the same dark red hue as the Origin Blood Continent.
However, above the dark red moon, there were numerous pools of varying sizes.
These pools resembled the seven blood pools in Ann Ziqing's small blood domain, but they were not crafted from purple crystals; they were naturally formed from the moon's rocky surface.
From a higher vantage point, one would see countless bowl-sized blood pools dotting the dark red moon.
The surface appeared pockmarked and irregular, exuding an eerie and inexplicable aura.
At that moment, blood began to slowly fill the bottoms of many pools.
Yu Yuan sensed that the Yang Meridian's source was shifting its power, channeling a portion of the blood energy concealed within the Origin Blood Continent to the dark red moon.
This process, however, was not instantaneous; it required time.
All members of the Blood Devil Clan bathed in the crimson glow of the dark red moon felt their blood boil, as if their fighting spirit had been kindled, endowing them with a fervent battle prowess.
Yu Yuan sensed that if he could shatter the dark crimson moon, he would seize control over the members of the Blood Devil Clan.
Before the blood energy from the source of the Yang meridians could be transferred, he had already severed the connection between the Blood Devil Clan and their power source.
"Yu Yuan!"
From the direction of the Fallen Realm, Zhou Cangmin, the White-robed Imperial Advisor, emerged, streaking across the sky like a flame meteor.
The Chaos Roc's cries were fierce, yet as the dark crimson moon drew near and the Blood Devil Clan swarmed like locusts, its gaze flickered uncertainly.
Looking towards the Fallen Realm and seeing Zhou Cangmin, Yu Yuan's mood darkened further.
He was unsure if the Fallen Realm concealed any formidable adversaries from the Vast Expanse.
With Zhou Cangmin's appearance and his awareness of Yu Yuan's presence, there was a chance the news could spread, potentially summoning the White Divine Tiger or the Supreme Demon Phoenix.
The Chaos Roc grew restless, scanning the surroundings, contemplating its retreat.
Boom! Boom!
Galaxy Ancient Starships ascended one by one from the Domain Boundary of the Dim Starfield, with Yu Yuan spotting mutated monsters atop the warships.
"Great Demon God Grec is nowhere to be seen, and the Yang meridian's power hasn't fully transferred to the moon yet..."
Yu Yuan murmured to himself.
In the next instant, he thrust the Dragon Slash Platform in his hand forward.
A golden beam of light, tens of thousands of miles long, burst forth from the sharp end of the Dragon Slash Platform, crackling with countless minuscule, rainbow-hued dragon silhouettes.
Between Yu Yuan and the Dim Starfield, a miraculous golden bridge materialized out of thin air.
While the Dragon Slash Platform remained under the watchful eye of the Chaos Roc, Yu Yuan, like a deity from a bygone age, trod upon the golden bridge, advancing step by step towards the Dim Starfield.
With each stride, he crossed vast expanses of the starry sky.
The Chaos Roc watched, dumbfounded, as Yu Yuan left the Dragon Slash Platform behind.
Yu Yuan had already entered the Dim Starfield, approaching the Blood Devils who were on the brink of madness, bathed in the glow of the crimson moon.
"Galaxy Warship..."
Yu Yuan emerged in the Dim Starfield with a sinister grin, effortlessly summoning the Demon Blade Blood Prison and releasing a flurry of bloody blade light.
Amidst the Galaxy Warships, spheres of blood-red lightning burst open, casting forth a multitude of dazzling crimson blade lights.
The thousands of blade lights, like a swarm of bloodthirsty fish, devoured the Blood Devil Clan's Galaxy Warships.
Boom! Crack!
In an instant, a dozen Blood Devil Clan warships were reduced to scattered debris.
Numerous Seventh and Eighth Level Blood Devil Clan members, along with some mutated monsters trapped in the cabins, were all transformed into a torrential rain of blood.
Yu Yuan, still smiling, appeared amidst the downpour like a specter.
As soon as he materialized, the blood rain eerily came to a halt.
Then, the countless droplets of blood coalesced, condensing into a pure crimson essence that was devoured by the Demon Blade in his grasp.
He squinted and chuckled, noticing that the Blood Devil Clan members who had perished instantly carried memories linked to blood. These memories sparkled into existence within his middle dantian, branding themselves onto his Yang God, which shimmered like crystal stalactites.
The esoteric knowledge of blood, once absorbed into the prisma, was instantly comprehended by his Yang God, revealing the underlying principles.
Yet, the majority of the blood's luminance had already been etched into the prisma.
The Great Demon God Grec had unraveled many of blood's mysteries on this sanguine path.
As Yu Yuan merged with the crystal, he assimilated most of the intricate blood knowledge that Grec had deciphered, leaving behind discernible traces.
"Yu Yuan!"
Behind Munch of the Blood Devil Clan, colossal blood-colored shadows abruptly took solid form.
Some became warriors of the Djinn Clan, others transformed into Platinum Asuras, and still others revealed themselves as formidable Demon Kings.
The Blood Slaves he had refined scattered and surged toward Yu Yuan from various directions.
He refrained from acting hastily, signaling his peers not to rush forward prematurely.
He sensed something amiss...
After many years, Yu Yuan's return to the Dim Starfield had resulted in the obliteration of over ten clan warships in a mere encounter, leading to the deaths of hundreds of his kin.
His unease stemmed from the fact that his fallen clansmen were indeed in the Dim Starfield, unmistakably bathed in the glow of the deep crimson moon...
However, why wasn't the blood essence of the deceased clansmen absorbed into the blood pool within the full moon? Munch, who was deeply favored by the source of the Yang Meridian, understood that as long as members of the Blood Devil Clan perished in the Dim Starfield under the light of the full moon, they were not truly dead. The Yang Meridian's source would preserve their blood imprints and select those with value and potential for resurrection. This is why the Blood Devil Clan's members faced death in the Dim Starfield without fear.
Outsiders and foes who clashed with the Blood Devil Clan rarely gained the upper hand when they dared to enter the Dim Starfield for battle. The Blood Devil Clan's warriors were seemingly inexhaustible there, and truly killing them was a formidable challenge. Conversely, the demise of invaders in the Dim Starfield only served to amplify the Yang Meridian's power, granting their Founder access to an increased reservoir of blood energy.
Previously, with the deaths of the Mighty Spirit King and the Golden Elephant Ancient God, Hao Ran's forces launched a massive assault. Yet, they played right into the hands of the Great Demon God Grec! Despite apparent losses on both sides, once Hao Ran's forces withdrew, the Blood Devil Clan's elites were filled with the Yang Meridian's jubilation. They sensed a surge of blood energy from the Yang Meridian deep within the Origin Blood Continent. Even the deep crimson full moon seemed more radiant to them afterward. This is why the Blood Devil Clan members were undeterred by the prospect of enemy incursions.
Nevertheless, they would still call upon other Devaputras and alien races for assistance when faced with invasions in the Dim Starfield. After all, the death of any being within the Dim Starfield would benefit their Founder, bolstering the entire clan's power through the Yang Meridian's augmentation.
However, when Yu Yuan arrived and massacred the clansmen, Munch witnessed a reality-shattering event. The blood energy of the fallen did not return to the Yang Meridian. The situation was far from the simplicity of being consumed by Yu Yuan's Demon Blade and Blood Prison.
Yu Yuan could sense that his presence had disrupted the Founder's power within the deep crimson moon, halting the flow of the ancient blood laws.
Even the vast Qilin, the mightiest entities across the starry heavens, and the Chaos Roc from other Starfields, had never achieved such a feat.
Munch had never witnessed such an oddity before.
"I still remember, you're an elder Blood Devil, even older than Grec," Yu Yuan said with a sly grin, making casual conversation. "Where's Grec? I'm already in the Dim Starfield, and he doesn't come to greet me?"
Years later, facing this aged member of the Blood Devil Clan, Yu Yuan found no need to resort to the Dragon Slash Platform.
He came to a sudden realization that his combat prowess had indeed escalated to a new tier, thanks to the significant enhancement of his Yang God and the shaping by the subterranean forces of the Origin Blood Continent.
In the cosmos, the so-called Peak warriors at the lower end of the spectrum would likely struggle to best him.
