C1673 I Didn't Raise You for Nothing!!

"Rovi?!"

Startled by the cries of Yu Yuan and the Void Spirit Succubus, the Divine King and Xuanli snapped to attention.

They suddenly realized that the figure emerging within Youyu's heart stone was none other than Rovi.

They later learned that the missing clan leader of the Void Spirit Succubus Clan, who had been in hiding at Colorful Lake, harbored grand ambitions for the Dragon Slash Platform, hoping to leverage the Earth Demon Clan's Huangyin and Xuanying for his own gain.

Rovi met his end when Yu Yuan, Youyu, and Zhong Chichen joined forces, with the Dragon Slash Platform piercing his heart in a swift and brutal attack.

Zhong Chichen had cast a Space-time Ban, Yu Yuan had thrust the Dragon Slash Platform through his heart, and Youyu had assailed his soul.

Rovi's death was a bitter one; his heart's blood essence aided in the Dragon Slash Platform's recovery, while Zhong Chichen gathered his remaining flesh and blood and removed it from the vast expanse.

His soul was confined by Youyu to Horror Land, stripped of the foreign lands and secret realms Rovi had once explored.

Youyu even sought through Rovi for information related to the Chaos Abyss, but to no avail.

The image of Rovi suddenly manifested on the heart stone on Youyu's forehead, uttering the words "Void Spirit Succubus," which left the Divine Butterfly in shock.

Subsequently, a portion of his soul was drawn inside.

At that moment, the Divine King, Xuanli, and the Chaos Roc were uncertain whether the fleeting apparition of Rovi's soul was genuine or a mere illusion.

Youyu, the refiner of the heart stone, indeed possessed the power to create illusions and bewilder others.

"Furthermore."

Youyu called out once more. Behind the Abyss Goanna, two Ninth Level warriors from the Silver Scale Clan experienced a sudden shift in their consciousness.

Out of sheer curiosity, they had sent forth a tendril of their soul consciousness, which Youyu swiftly captured.

Like the three Ninth Level elders of the Void Spirit Succubus Clan, anyone who dared to spy and was detected by Youyu would have part of their soul consciousness drawn out through the heart stone.

In just a flash, Youyu, revealing his "third eye," had reaped a rich bounty of spoils.

The three elders of the Void Spirit Succubus Clan, along with two Ninth Level warriors from the Silver Scale Clan, had their souls partially extracted and captured by Youyu within the Divine Stone. Once ensnared by the Divine Stone, their souls had little chance of escape. Youyu continued to assault their spirits, exerting pressure and hindering their ability to unleash their full power in combat, subjecting them to relentless soul-shattering impacts.

"I know you're trying to flush him out since he's been reluctant to reveal himself. Let's turn up the heat," someone suggested.

With his "third eye" open, Youyu hovered high above the Heaven Opening Flare Star, his gaze piercing the depths of the cavernous pit below. "He's down there, or at least a part of him is," he surmised, referring to the Origin Realm God, not any other entity.

"Using something that isn't yours is always going to be awkward," Yu Yuan remarked with a radiant smile, suddenly appearing alongside the young man on the surface of the Dragon Slash Platform.

"The Time Book isn't yours, nor is the Heaven Opening Divine Stone. And your Divine Butterfly is rather amusing," he continued, shaking his head. "It's no wonder your clan has been skulking in the spatial crevices all this time. You think a bit of blood magic makes something yours? Sadly, when it really matters, you'll realize that what belongs to others will never truly be yours!"

With a whoosh, the Dragon Slash Platform glided over to the Heaven Opening Flare Star. This time, Yu Yuan, bolstered by newfound confidence, no longer feared the star below nor the seemingly endless horrors lurking within its honeycomb-like caverns.

Streams of murky white light cascaded down from the Dragon Slash Platform, each beam targeting the shadowy chasms beneath.

The pure white light, native to the Dragon Slash Platform, contrasted with the colorful radiance emanating from the Space-time Dragon. Clearly, the light from the Heaven Opening Flare Star was ideally suited for probing the caverns below.

As anticipated, the descent of the white light into the caves revealed various domains of the Realm Boundary on the Dragon Slash Platform, and the visions seeped into the depths of Yu Yuan's soul.

In a chilling cave, a gathering of the Banshee Clan was conducting a sinister ritual. The bones of hundreds of fallen warriors from various clans were amassed, forming a macabre mound that reached skyward.

The Banshees, their long hair wildly dancing like serpents, chanted the name of the Origin Realm God. From their eyes, clusters of soul shadows emerged, seemingly sending fragments of their souls to the Origin Realm as an offering for the deity to savor.

In a separate cave, a microcosm connected to a realm of absolute darkness. The biting cold and darkness shrouded this world, rendering it invisible to Yu Yuan's eyes alone. Yet, through the perception of his soul, he could discern its identity: the Dark Domain. He had once felt the embrace of absolute darkness within the Plover Realm and had reached out to this place with his soul.

The secluded cavern linked to the Heaven Opening Flare Star astonishingly connected to a location within the Dark Domain. Yu Yuan's soul consciousness detected the distinct presence of Loong Jie. Somewhere in the Dark Domain, Loong Jie's powerful dragon breath swirled like a vast sea, carrying the essence of gold, silver, and copper.

This essence bore a different scent from that which President Lyi possessed—it carried the aroma of dragon blood. Loong Jie had used his Golden Dragon blood to transmute these metals, allowing the amalgamated force and blood to circulate through his meridians and viscera. Yet, to Yu Yuan's senses, Loong Jie's dragon bones and flesh had become even more metallic than President Lyi's.

With a roar that seemed to detect Yu Yuan's presence, Loong Jie let out a joyous howl from a hidden corner of the Dark Domain. At that moment, Yu Yuan felt a surge of piercing coldness and caught a glimpse of a faint starlight twinkling.

"Shuang-er!" he called out softly. The Dark Domain, once connected to the Heaven Opening Flare Star, vanished from his soul's awareness.

Subsequently, a cascade of images and worlds unfolded in his mind, one after another. Most of these realms were uncharted territories to him, often disappearing as suddenly as they had appeared.

Yet, Yu Yuan was aware that many realms had fallen under the sway of the Origin Realm God, even without the presence of an Origin Realm Gate, and had secretly become his devotees, worshiping him as a deity.

The hidden power of the Origin Realm God within the Eon Realm was astonishingly formidable, encompassing numerous intelligent races, including Ninth Level Bloodline Warriors.

Yu Yuan sensed that the Ninth Level Warriors were on the cusp of advancing further, each aspiring to reach the Peak of Tenth Level.

Should their patriarch perish under mysterious circumstances, they stood a high chance of succeeding him and achieving a breakthrough to the Tenth Level, thereby becoming leaders of their respective races.

The arrival of the Origin Realm God had instilled them with hope and a deep yearning.

"Remarkable! You're not after the destruction of the entire world, but rather to conquer and rule it entirely, much like Beilstein," Yu Yuan mused.

Suddenly, an image of a land awash with vibrant colors emerged in his mind, jolting his spirit. "I've found it!"

On this multicolored terrain, a nascent Hannya Divine Tree was thriving.

The Disaster Snake, encircling the tree's roots in a loop, raised its head high, surveying its surroundings with vigilant eyes.

The surrounding cosmos had sharpened into clarity, its essence palpable.

It was still within the Gray Domain!

This revelation indicated that the shadowy caverns of the Heaven Opening Flare Star were not just linked to the Eon Realm but also to other lands within the Gray Domain.

Whether internal or external, any stellar land with peculiar spatial bonds could connect to the Heaven Opening Flare Star.

A crisp, pleasing cry echoed from afar across the chromatic land.

The Secular Bird!

Yu Yuan's heart pounded with surprise, his consciousness overwhelmed, seemingly alerting the Disaster Snake.

"Who's there?!"

The two heads of the Disaster Snake, poised aloft, shot out sinister, icy blood-red beams from their eyes, instantly scrambling the spatial magnetism.

With a resounding boom, the vision that had just materialized vanished.

Yu Yuan understood that the Disaster Snake had detected his surveillance. With its power, it had warped the world within the Gray Domain, obscuring his view.

"The Gray Domain..."

Realizing that the hidden battlefield lay within this secret world and not the outer starry seas, Yu Yuan felt a sense of relief.

In that moment, he inhaled deeply and sent a thought through the bond between the Yang God and the juvenile creature.

He tasked the young Spinosaurus with pinpointing the Secular Bird's battlefield and, if possible, to ensure the safety of the Secular Bird Queen.

The young creature, akin to a fledgling deity within the Gray Domain, was attuned to the conflicts unfolding across various locales.

The Phoenix, the God of the Origin Realm, the Disaster Serpent, the Chaos Roc, and Grec—all the mighty beings active within the Gray Domain were known to the young creature.

This knowledge wasn't a matter of the young creature's own power, but rather a natural talent, a legacy and ability bestowed by the ancient Spinosaurus.

*Whimper!*

After a moment, the young creature reluctantly responded, yet it agreed to assist. It would keep an eye on the Phoenix's condition and, when the time was right and without endangering itself, it would lend its support.

"You haven't been raised in vain!"

Yu Yuan flashed a satisfied smile, his mind settling with confidence.

"Come forth!"

He called forth the Demon Blade Blood Prison. With a flick of his wrist, a broad river of blood-red light cascaded towards a distant, shadowy cave.

Boom!

The cave, flooded with the blood-red light, suddenly burst forth with infinite blood radiance and numerous crimson sword beams.

Techniques like Spiritual Destruction, Soul Severing, and Devil Shocking from the "Sky Piercing Sword Spell" erupted from within the river of light, exuding a chilling murderous intent that threatened to obliterate any soul, tearing the cave entrance to shreds.

Just before the explosion of sword light, a miniature rainbow-colored dragon took flight, playfully taunting, "Sly outsider, long time no see. After tens of thousands of years, you still prefer skulking in the shadows, lurking in the crevices of caves."

This diminutive rainbow dragon was a wisp of soul sent by the Space-time Dragon, Zhong Chichen.

It was this very wisp of soul that had revealed the hiding place of the Origin Realm God to Yu Yuan.

"It has indeed been a long time."

At last, the voice of the Origin Realm God resonated.
