C1734 Let Me Show You!!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Yu Yuan reflected, tens of thousands of Banes fled back into the cauldron, terrified of the 'calamity thunder.' They feared Han Miaoyuan might summon it again, annihilating their lower-grade soul spirits.

Without physical forms, their ethereal existence was indeed a death sentence under the assault of 'calamity thunder.'

"Open the sky!"

At the mouth of the cauldron, Yu Yiyi watched the golden, rainbow-like divine glow fade away. She felt the power that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth, her eyes brimming with relief.

It appeared she knew that her long-time master would return before long.

"The Dragon Slaying Stage is in your hands, and yet you can transform it into a sword."

Han Miaoyuan, wielding the Banner of Duality and the Exquisite Pagoda, did not take offense at Yu Yuan's taunts. Instead, he focused on the Hex Stone that had reverted to a pearly white surface beneath Yu Yuan's feet.

His eyes reflected deepening confusion.

"There's much you don't know."

Yu Yuan flashed a radiant smile and traced a small circle on the white surface with the tip of his foot.

Instantly, the Dragon Slaying Stage expanded, the tiny circle shimmering with a rainbow's hues, growing in tandem.

The power that bridged the stars and earth sprang forth from that diminutive rainbow circle, as if Yu Yuan had crafted an extraordinary and unconventional Circle of Aetheric Bending.

Han Miaoyuan watched the circle intently, curious to see what Yu Yuan was conjuring and what would be revealed within.

"Have you ever ventured to the Ashlands?" Yu Yuan asked, his smile unwavering.

"I have, though I didn't explore deeply."

Han Miaoyuan was candid, pausing briefly before earnestly elaborating, "The Ashlands are where various extraterrestrial races and Sky Fiends hone themselves and seek rare treasures. This sinister forbidden area isn't exactly welcoming to the humans of the Everlands. Legends speak of cosmic giant beasts lurking within. I've faced hindrances, and fearing Bertain might set a Sky Fiend ambush, I refrained from further investigation."

"That's unfortunate."

Yu Yuan burst into laughter, "The Ashlands are truly fascinating. They share a profound connection with our Everlands, even serving as the private domain of the Titan Spinosaurus. Recently, the Ashlands have been abuzz with activity. I'm surprised Xuanli, Zhong Chichen, and the rest haven't mentioned to you what transpired there."

Han Miaoyuan snorted, "I'm already looking into the matter."

"No need for that, let me just show you," Yu Yuan offered.

Whoosh!

Within the seven-colored light of the Dragon Slaying Stage, the Eiwrone of the Ashlands materialized, revealing dark caves above the star, shrouded in space magic and seemingly linked to various dimensions and timelines.

Seeing these caves, Han Miaoyuan thought of the tumultuous events in the Otherkin territories and realized that the Origin Deity in the Ashlands was using this enigmatic star to siphon energy from all realms into the Abyss.

"Come on, say hello!" Yu Yuan chuckled.

The gaunt figure of the Abyssal Leviathan bowed slightly toward Han Miaoyuan and flashed a menacing smile, "Han, it seems our last encounter was in your Everlands' Embers Sea. Heh, over the millennia, many of your people have extended their lives using my blood!"

"Abyssal Leviathan!" Han Miaoyuan's expression soured.

The Abyssal Greater Basilisk, now in the guise of a Silverscale Tribe elder, waved at Han Miaoyuan with a cold, reluctant demeanor, yet remained silent.

"Abyssal Greater Basilisk!"

Han Miaoyuan recognized him immediately, having seen this Silverscale Tribe guise before.

Following him, Jessica of the Silverscale Tribe and Awkwafina of the Shadowkin also popped up, waving at Han Miaoyuan from the seven-colored light on the Dragon Slaying Stage.

Han Miaoyuan's face grew even more troubled.

His unease wasn't due to their gestures but from the sudden realization of a subtle link between the Star of Wonder in the Ashlands and the Dragon Slaying Stage under Yu Yuan's control.

This meant that the individuals he was observing through the colorful light could actually cross over.

The Abyssal Leviathan, the Abyssal Greater Basilisk, and two warriors at the pinnacle of the tenth level—should Yu Yuan summon all this power through the connection between the Star of Wonder and the Dragon Slaying Stage, what consequences would ensue?

Would they truly be willing to follow Yu Yuan's commands?

Han Miaoyuan furrowed his brows, his gaze shifting as he weighed the option of retreat.

"And there's him."

Yu Yuan gestured toward Loong Jie, whom he had summoned from the main star of the Ashlands, "Hey, Loong Jie, won't you greet the leader of our human race? You've languished in the Sword Prison for years, all by Han Miaoyuan's decree. Without me, you might still be trapped there!"

Loong Jie, now in human form with a striking golden dragon horn on his forehead, looked visibly distressed.

Yet, after Yu Yuan's remarks, he cast a reluctant glance at Han Miaoyuan and let out a cold snort. "If you need me," he said with resignation, "I'll come over and help you take down Han."

The dragonkin, numerous as they were, now resided on the Ashlands' main star, alongside the younglings.

Yu Yuan's use of the Draconic Soul Shackle to exert control over the Ashlands and to constrain the young beasts had even compelled Zhong Chichen to construct a void passageway near the Dark Star.

For the sake of the hopeful young beast and all the dragonkin, he had no choice but to comply.

"Yu Yuan, my disdain for Han has been brewing for more than just a day or two," the Abyssal Leviathan said with a malicious grin, licking his lips. "Just give me the word, and I'll leave the Ashlands to join forces with you in taking Han down. Without Han Miaoyuan, the humans of the Everlands will be of little concern to Lin Daoke and Tan Xiaotian."

"If we're targeting Han Miaoyuan, we're ready to lend our strength," Jessica whispered.

Awkwafina nodded in agreement.

Aside from the Abyssal Greater Basilisk, the mightiest beings of Eiwrone harbored deep-seated animosity toward Han Miaoyuan.

Jessica, of the Silverscale Tribe, and Awkwafina, of the Shadowkin, shared a common sentiment; any extraterrestrial Otherkin would naturally view Han Miaoyuan with disdain.

For millennia, Han Miaoyuan has been at the helm, orchestrating a grand alliance between the humans and evilkind of the Everlands to vanquish the warriors of various races from the extraterrestrial realms. The Dark Phoenix, on the other hand, typically focused on battling cosmic giant beasts or joined forces with Lin Daoke and Tan Xiaotian to keep Bertain in check.

The intelligent life from the extraterrestrial harbored a deep-seated animosity towards Han Miaoyuan, far surpassing any resentment held by the Dark Phoenix.

"I'm willing to extend a courtesy to Cao Jiaze. I have no desire to see the Everlands suffer catastrophic damage due to our conflict, so I've relocated the battlefield to the extraterrestrial," Yu Yuan said with a hearty laugh, gesturing towards the Dragon Slaying Stage beneath his feet. "But once I reached the extraterrestrial, I discovered it could still communicate with the Eiwrone from the Ashlands!"

The Dragon Slaying Stage was originally from the Eiwrone. Once Yu Yuan seized control of the Ashlands and consecrated the Eiwrone, the bond between the stage and the star became inseparable, ensuring a perpetual connection.

The enigmatic nature of the Everlands' wall meant that, while within its confines, the Dragon Slaying Stage couldn't link with the Eiwrone. But the moment they burst forth from the Everlands and shattered the wall, the stage and the star were immediately connected.

In that instant, Yu Yuan was overcome with joy. The Eiwrone's connection to the Dragon Slaying Stage in the Ashlands was akin to having two 'nests,' creating a conduit between the two worlds!

Creatures like Loong Jie and the Abyssal Leviathan could travel from the Eiwrone to the Dragon Slaying Stage, ready to lend their might at a moment's notice.

"This..." As a radiant sun drew near, Qin Luo, who had manifested his Divine Transcendence into a crimson sun, gazed from a distance and was struck dumbfounded. He witnessed the figures shimmering within the rainbow-hued circle of the Dragon Slaying Stage and overheard their conversation. It dawned on him that Yu Yuan might indeed summon those extraordinary beings from the extraterrestrial to the Ashlands.

"Qin Luo, just watch. Don't even think about getting involved," Zu Ann's voice trailed from behind, his tone casual and unhurried. "I'm still here. Should you decide to step in, rest assured, I'll join the fray."

Whoosh!

A chilling river of Yin Qi surged from the Everlands, with Youyu amidst its ghostly currents.

The three mightiest from the Everlands, upon realizing that the battle between Yu Yuan and Han Miaoyuan had moved beyond their realm to the extraterrestrial, followed in hot pursuit. They were determined to bear witness to the clash between Yu Yuan and Han Miaoyuan in the extraterrestrial space, knowing the significance of this duel and unwilling to miss a moment.

Similarly, Youyu's gaze fell upon the rainbow-hued halo above the Dragon Slaying Stage, the Abyssal Leviathan he recognized, the Abyssal Greater Basilisk, and he took note of Loong Jie.

"Do you believe it now?"

Youyu's silent message flowed into the Yin Qi river where he resided, addressing the Root of the Lunar Meridian.

Once more, the Root of the Lunar Meridian lapsed into silence.
