C1591 The Young Beast's Feeding Again

In the desolate Fallen Realm, the Chaos Roc pursued them, shouting incessantly. It remained in human form as it landed behind Yu Yuan and Zhou Cangmin, continuing its tirade: "Sabonis is a goner. No one can save him now! Well, I'm actually eager to see Loong Jie become the mightiest Golden Dragon. The world's already in turmoil; it'd be great to see the Nagas regain their strength!"

Yu Yuan and Zhou Cangmin were stunned by the Chaos Roc's revelation. They hadn't anticipated that the Asura King Sabonis would conspire with the Origin Realm God to assassinate Loong Jie and Zhong Chichen.

Unexpectedly, Han Miaoyuan had foreseen this and strategically placed Lin Daoke as a secret trump card. Sabonis's attempt to outwit them backfired, leading to Diggs's downfall and his own peril.

"Han Miaoyuan is indeed a master strategist, and Lin Daoke... is exceptionally powerful," Yu Yuan remarked under his breath.

Even though the Chaos Roc didn't mention Han Miaoyuan, Yu Yuan, who had attended that council and witnessed Lin Daoke in action, understood that Lin Daoke must have been tipped off by Han Miaoyuan; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so promptly.

Lin Daoke's arrival spelled near-instant doom for Diggs. The Void Spirit Succubus lost a wing and narrowly escaped...

The formidable prowess of the Sword Sect Lord earned Yu Yuan's respect.

"Senior, how did you come by this information?" Zhou Cangmin inquired with reverence.

The gaunt Chaos Roc let out a disdainful snort. "I bestow a drop of my Giant Beast Amber upon significant individuals. Anyone infused with it is bound to me. No matter where I am, I can sense those who have merged with my Giant Beast Amber."

Yu Yuan's expression soured at these words.

"Indeed. No matter where you were, I could always feel your presence. Even if you were in a different galaxy, if I wished to pinpoint your location, I could do so with minimal effort," the Chaos Roc said, its eyes gleaming with arrogance.

"I've figured it out," Yu Yuan grunted.

For years, he had sensed as if he were being watched, occasionally feeling a sudden unease. It was likely the Chaos Roc, observing him from afar through the Life Altar within his body, gauging his level of cultivation and the robustness of his flesh.

Now, the Chaos Roc had confirmed his capability to do so and admitted to having used it. Piecing together the Chaos Roc's statements and his own intuition, Yu Yuan surmised that this Starry Behemoth might have nurtured numerous key individuals with Giant Beast Amber to act as his informants.

When necessary, he could tap into those who carried his Giant Beast Amber to stay informed about significant events unfolding across the galaxies. Though he appeared to be a lone warrior, he had unseen allies working on his behalf.

"None of the other celestial races dare assist Sabonis. Cadorath, Barol, and Loong Jie abandoned him once they learned of his collusion with the Origin Realm God. And with the natural suppression from the Golden Dragon, Sabonis's odds were slim after Loong Jie's ascension. With the Space-time Dragon against him, he had no escape..."

The Chaos Roc spoke with a mix of schadenfreude and sarcasm, "Foolish fellow, defying Beilstein's commands. He actually thought he could stand against Beilstein as the Asura King."

Even the Starry Behemoth showed a visible shudder at the mention of the Great Demon God Beilstein.

"In Beilstein's eyes, no one but the Titan Spinosaurus has ever been a true challenger. If he decides Sabonis must die, then Sabonis's fate is sealed."

"Loong Jie, regardless of his power level, will never pose a threat to the Great Demon God Beilstein."

"The Demon Phoenix, however, will be troubled by Loong Jie and the Space-time Dragon's rise to divinity."

For countless years, the Chaos Roc had been confined within the Ember Waters. The Demon Phoenix had harvested his flesh and blood and sought to unravel the secrets of life etched into his heart.

Occasionally, the Demon Phoenix would engage in casual conversation with him. As a result, he learned numerous secrets about the Vast Expanse directly from the Demon Phoenix. Generations of those who trained in the Ember Waters shared with him the significant events of the Vast Expanse, giving him an understanding that might surpass that of some sect elders.

"You'd like to see Loong Jie slay Asura King Sabonis and return the Golden Dragon to its mightiest form, wouldn't you? Anything that annoys the Demon Phoenix and gives her a headache brings you joy, right?" Yu Yuan asked, his expression peculiar.

"Why shouldn't I be happy?!" The Chaos Roc's eyes brimmed with towering hatred. "If she hadn't imprisoned me in the Vast Expanse, if she hadn't left me in a state of perpetual injury, I would have been soaring through the cosmos!"

Yu Yuan was about to respond when a curious look suddenly crossed his face. In a flash, the chaotic energies that filled the starry sky—streams of light, filthy toxins, and unidentified impurities—converged on the Fallen Realm from every direction. More specifically, they were drawn to the Dragon Slash Platform he held.

Inside the Dragon Slash Platform, a rich new spiritual energy emerged. Any absorbed power was instantly cleansed and purified upon entry, transforming into pristine spiritual energy. Yu Yuan immediately realized that the hatchling within the purple-gold dragon egg had begun to feed again.

As it continued to grow, its feeding process was quite straightforward. Positioned in an area with starry sky energies, it could draw in all the energy it needed from the outside world through the Dragon Slash Platform. It was capable of ingesting any type of energy and directly refining it into clear spiritual energy. This was the innate, wondrous ability of the Titan Spinosaurus.

"Whoa!" Zhou Cangmin cried out in astonishment. He sensed the mixed energies pouring into the Dragon Slash Platform from outside the Fallen Realm. Uncertain of what was unfolding, he curiously watched while shouting in alarm.

The Chaos Roc, with a somber expression, stared at the Dragon Slash Platform with an odd look in its eyes. Nearly all Starry Behemoths could bolster themselves by absorbing starry sky energies, yet the efficiency and method of absorption varied greatly among the different species.

The Chaos Roc was aware that the Dragon Slash Platform had been constructed from the cocoon of a Void Spirit Succubus, possibly endowing it with the power to absorb the essence of the starry sky. Yet, with his knowledge of the Void Spirit Succubus, he doubted that even the creature itself could match the platform's current level of absorption efficiency, let alone its cocoon.

Suddenly, the withered figure of the Chaos Roc materialized before Yu Yuan, his hand outstretched, attempting to touch the Dragon Slash Platform.

"Stop."

Yu Yuan's icy gaze fell upon the scaly hand reaching out before him. Remembering his recent encounter with the Chaos Roc, he halted his hand mid-motion and spoke sternly, "Kid, the incredible fortune you've gained on the Origin Blood Continent is enough to make the Demon Phoenix envious. You'd do well to avoid her for the time being and steer clear of the Vast Expanse!"

Yu Yuan's brow furrowed at the mention of the Demon Phoenix. From the Desolate God's account and the Chaos Roc's depiction, he understood that the Demon Phoenix assumed the role of the Yang Meridian's source within the Vast Expanse, with the blood of all living creatures seemingly forming the foundation of her Dao. And that might just be the tip of the iceberg.

The Demon Phoenix, with her insatiable hunger for blood and life force, must be aware of another enigma deep beneath the Origin Blood Continent, beyond the Yang Meridian and the Blood Devil Clan's reach. She might have attempted to uncover it, but it seems all efforts were in vain.

Having been bested before, the Demon Phoenix grew wary of the Dim Starfield in the years that followed, reluctant to venture there herself. But should she learn of the numerous secrets imprinted within her Yang God, secrets that stand apart from her own life, knowing her nature...

This thought alone caused Yu Yuan's expression to grow grave.

"Believe me, the moment you encounter the Demon Phoenix, she'll discern exactly what's transpired with you." The Chaos Roc cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Cangmin, as if he had just remembered that the man before him was associated with the Vast Expanse's Five Great Powers. In a burst of irritation, he blurted out, "Get lost! You belong to the Red Devil Sect, you're one of them!"

Zhou Cangmin stepped back awkwardly but did not venture into the Fallen Realm, showing no desire to depart.

"The Red Devil Sect is its own entity, as is the Demon Palace; they're unrelated. Besides, I belong to the human race of the Vast Expanse, not a Great Demon," Zhou Cangmin clarified.

"You don't seem like good news to me!" the Chaos Roc bellowed furiously.

The White-robed Imperial Advisor was at a loss for words, observing that the notoriously brutal and sly Starry Behemoth was exhibiting extreme emotional instability.

What on earth had Yu Yuan done? What had he taken that caused such rage?

Zhou Cangmin's gaze was peculiar.

"The Demon Phoenix is after both of us," the Chaos Roc paused, "which means we share a common foe. At this moment, we need to strategize on how to confront the Demon Phoenix. Her existence poses a continuous and significant threat to us both!"

"I understand. I'll exercise greater caution," Yu Yuan agreed, examining the Dragon Slash Platform in his grasp. "It contains remnants of the Space-time Dragon's power. Should I encounter the Demon Phoenix in the vastness of space, I could potentially escape by tearing through the fabric of space immediately."

"No, you won't manage to flee," the Chaos Roc countered, shaking its head.

Yu Yuan was taken aback. "Is she truly that formidable?"

"Only a living, Tenth Level Dragon God of the Space-time Dragon could elude her grasp. You stand no chance!"
