C1633 The Same Level of Combat Strength

"Alien, monster."

Yu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth, basking in the sinister glow of the mountain of corpses, embracing the light as it cascaded down upon him.

Rushing!

Lifeblood surged through his limbs and body, like thousands of alien beasts thundering across the land, their roars tearing through the cosmos.

His consciousness penetrated his veins, and it was as if he could truly see the myriad creatures that had once emerged in this world.

Among them was the three-eyed spirit lizard that Yu Yuan had previously heard about.

And there were even more beings he had never encountered before, seemingly propelled by the force of life, taking form against their will.

Embracing all life!

Yu Yuan's eyes shone with profound light. He felt as though he had become the source of all creatures, the primordial essence from which life sprang forth, the progenitor of countless tribes.

The mountains, forged from peaks of gold metal and iron puppets, released a radiance that suddenly held no sway over him.

"Life, the true meaning of life, the secrets of the origin of all creatures..."

Tiny, mysterious light particles burst forth from the prismatic crystals within his blood, like stalactites shattering, merging into his organs and bones, becoming part of his very existence.

The boundless lifeblood energy resonated, like the sound of life's true essence, thundering from within his organs.

"Heh!"

Yu Yuan let out a hearty laugh, unfurling the Dragon Slash Platform beneath his feet with a light stomp.

Boom!

In an instant, the Dragon Slash Platform expanded a millionfold, transforming into an expansive, luminous white continent.

Thousands of slender, rainbow-hued dragons writhed beneath the slightly murky surface, their brilliant tails swaying as if buoying the vast land that was the Dragon Slash Platform.

The Divine Dragon Supports the Heavens!

A pale golden light began to shine from within the luminous land, growing brighter and more intense until it was dazzling.

Standing on the Dragon Slash Platform in his true form, without invoking his Dharma or summoning the Yang God, Yu Yuan looked down at the minuscule grains of rice, utterly insignificant by comparison.

Yet, the Chaos Roc trembled faintly, its crimson and white eyes wide with terror.

In this moment, Yu Yuan stood as the arbiter of the Heavenly Dao of Life, his presence suggesting that any creature of flesh and blood would be utterly subdued as he unveiled the mysteries of life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The murky surface could no longer contain the pale golden radiance within, now fiercely clashing with the glow emitted by the peculiar mountain refined by President Lyi.

A myriad of lights collided in the void between them, turning the area into a kaleidoscope of colors.

"They're all madmen."

The Chaos Roc murmured under his breath, sensing that any creature of flesh and blood that inadvertently wandered into the space where Yu Yuan and President Lyi were dueling would be instantly wounded or worse, killed.

Those injured were like him, like the White Divine Tiger, peak warriors of the Tenth Level.

Anyone not at that level who had the misfortune of entering at that moment would be doomed to instant death.

In that instant, the Chaos Roc realized that once Yu Yuan activated the Dragon Slash Platform and unleashed the might of the Artifact, there was no longer any chance for him to defeat Yu Yuan with his own power.

Even if his wounds were healed, he held no shred of hope.

This was somewhat disheartening...

"The Lunar Divine King, he is the Lunar Divine King! The second being to touch the Origin Soul after the Great Demon God Beilstein!"

The Chaos Roc consoled himself in secret, seeking solace to prevent his despondent mood from impeding his healing.

Crack!

The towering mountain, painstakingly crafted by President Lyi over thousands of years from an amalgamation of gold metal automatons and various celestial ores, seemed on the verge of bursting apart.

It appeared unable to withstand the pulsating waves of the Dragon Slash Platform.

"Halt!"

President Lyi's visage, now a dark golden hue as if cast from molten metal, exuded a cold, hard metallic sheen.

His stature grew increasingly taller, reaching half the height of the bizarre mountain, standing as rigid as a spear thrust into the earth, his eyes brimming with an icy, lethal resolve.

"Slash!"

The Dragon Slash Platform beneath Yu Yuan's feet transformed into a cone, its apex blazing with a golden brilliance too intense to gaze upon directly.

Strands of golden divine lightning, reminiscent of the Bloodline Crystal Chain of the ancient Golden Dragon God, converged at the platform's sharp forefront.

Yu Yuan's every thought permeated this golden divine lightning, as though he were the master holding the reins,

as if he were leading a herd of tempestuous Golden Dragons.

The tip of the Dragon Slash Platform suddenly erupted in a brilliant golden flare!

Golden beams of light, one after another, coalesced into a colossal golden dragon of light, surging toward the mountain where President Lyi stood.

This golden light dragon, born from the residual power of the Tenth Level Golden Giant Dragon, seemed to detest President Lyi and the mountain beneath him instinctively.

Such disgust for things unnatural and purely evil.

Then, numerous golden light dragons began to tear and gnaw at the alien mountain.

Crack! Crack!

The sinister mountain beneath President Lyi was gnawed upon, significantly diminishing in size.

"The power left by the Golden Dragon God on the Dragon Slash Platform still possesses such formidable might."

The Chaos Roc, transformed into a tiny azure fish, gently swayed its tail within a bubble.

The glowing green barrier surrounding the bubble continued to emit a faint light, silently dissipating the horrifying shockwaves from the fierce battle between Yu Yuan and President Lyi.

After a moment's hesitation, the Chaos Roc spoke up, "Yu Yuan, I have a small piece of advice for you. There's no need to clash directly with President Lyi using the power of the Golden Dragon God. Instead, you should exploit his weaknesses."

"Take the soul, for example..."

"Individuals like him, or like Loong Jie, have souls that can be targeted as a point of vulnerability. The ancient Golden Dragon God was first defeated at the soul level, which caused its divine iron form to lose the ability to concentrate the essence of gold metal, rendering the dragon's body vulnerable."

"President Lyi, despite his unorthodox approach, cannot escape this inherent weakness. I suggest you focus on his soul."

The Chaos Roc continued, highlighting the past vulnerabilities of the Golden Dragon God and the inevitable weaknesses of those who cultivate the power of gold metal and fortify their flesh into an impenetrable fortress.

A body fortified with gold metal can withstand divine weapons and even the onslaught of the Demon Phoenix's blood attacks.

However, it cannot shield against assaults on the soul.

A formidable human cultivator, upon reaching the Penetrating Stage, can refine their Spiritual Sense to penetrate walls and earth. For the ethereal Yin God, traversing through mountains and gold metal is exceedingly simple.

Therefore, leveraging the advantage of the soul to confront President Lyi, who follows the malevolent path of gold metal cultivation, should yield extraordinary results.

"Why didn't you use that power to kill him just now?" Yu Yuan's expression turned grim.

"When it comes to the soul, I don't possess any remarkable Soul Arts to boast of. I'm not like you," the Chaos Roc hinted with purpose.

He was alluding to Yu Yuan's past life as the Lunar Divine King, reminding Yu Yuan that as the Lunar Divine King, he had once slain a Peak Golden Giant Dragon in the ancient times, so why not President Lyi?

"I'll give it a shot."

No sooner had he spoken than the Yin God concealed within the Dragon Slash Platform began to emerge.

As the Yin God materialized, it didn't even require the use of Ghosting Arts; the myriad of peculiar forces within the Gray Domain naturally coalesced around it.

"Hmm?"

Yu Yuan's Yin God reveled in the sensation.

The golden radiance from the Dragon Slash Platform and the mountain range beneath President Lyi, with its collisions of gold, silver, black, and pale blue lights, continued unabated.

Yet, Yu Yuan's Yin God could effortlessly traverse these tumultuous waves of light, reaching President Lyi in an instant.

President Lyi's pupils flickered erratically between gold, silver, bronze, and iron as he caught sight of Yu Yuan's Yin God, his expression clouded with confusion.

With a bold swoop, Yu Yuan sent his Yin God hurtling towards President Lyi's brow.

He was determined to uncover the truth hidden within President Lyi's psyche, to discern whether there was any hope for salvation, and whether he could be drawn back from the brink.

The very next moment, Yu Yuan was witness to a remarkable spectacle.
