C1807 The Other Way to Become a God!

Atop the Dragon Slash Platform, Yu Yuan stood with a serene expression, his eyes betraying only a sliver of astonishment.

It seemed he was taken aback that the Yang Meridian had made such an imprudent decision.

Countless eyes, from heaven to earth, were fixed on him, anticipating the enigmatic transformation that was about to unfold.

Everyone sensed that any second now, the essence of the Yang Meridian might animate Yu Yuan's form, enabling him to perform feats beyond imagination.

He might, for instance, seize control of the Dragon Slash Platform or cleave the Demon Phoenix with the Optimus Sword.

Yet, nothing of the sort occurred.

Yu Yuan licked his lips, noting the rapt attention from all around him, including the Demon Gods. With a wry smile, he commented, "It seems to have overthought things. And you... you've overthought as well."

The next moment, his gaze swept across the Blood Devil Clan members dispersed throughout the Origin Blood Continent.

His laughter rang out, full of life and mirth.

The first to undergo a transformation were the Blood Devil Clan members, who had been in a state of numbness and stupor.

The consumption of the blood-red river below by Yu Yuan's Yang God body, along with the intense freezing cold, had left the weaker members of the Blood Devil Clan disoriented and bewildered, trapped in a strange limbo as if ensnared in a nightmarish delusion.

However, with the awakening of the Yang Meridian's consciousness and the river's renewed flow, the Yang Meridian retaliated against Yu Yuan.

Boom!

A streak of blood-red lightning seemed to flash through the minds and deep within the crimson hearts of the Blood Devil Clan members!

The most secretive part of the Bloodline Crystal Chain, which bore the imprint of the blood's origin, underwent a sudden metamorphosis.

Previously, whenever they sensed the Crystal Chain, they would see a miniature blood river symbolizing the Yang Meridian.

Now, this miniature river had coalesced and refined into a translucent red crystalline form.

That was Yu Yuan's Yang God!

At that moment, their deeply ingrained thoughts and beliefs experienced a revolutionary shift!

It was as if Yu Yuan's Yang God had been their guardian and benefactor of divine powers and bloodline since the dawn of time.

The image of the blood-colored river, once synonymous with the Yang Meridian, began to fade from the collective memory of the Blood Devil Clan members.

It was destined to be utterly forgotten.

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

Numerous Blood Devil Warriors of the Eighth Level emerged from the trembling dark red castle. Upon sighting Yu Yuan standing with the Optimus Sword atop the Dragon Slash Platform, they reverently bowed with earnest expressions.

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on the manifestation of your corporeal form!"

"Congratulations on your rebirth, Ancestor!"

First came the salutations from the Eighth Level Blood Devil Warriors, followed by the Ninth Level Elders, and then every member of the Blood Devil Clan!

No matter their location, if they could glimpse Yu Yuan's form, they would pay their respects.

It was as though they stood before their deity!

Yu Yuan had revolutionized their beliefs, obliterating all signs of the Yang Meridian and embedding his mark deep within their bloodlines and souls.

He had become the Founder of the Blood Devil Clan!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The Yang God, seated at the canyon's base and submerged in the slowly evaporating blood river, swayed his broad shoulders. A stream of pure and untainted blood energy silently erased the Demon Phoenix's purple blood glow.

Then, he abruptly rose to his feet.

His legs, planted in the blood river like crimson crystal columns, sucked in the surrounding water like a colossal whale, swiftly consuming all the residual blood energy in a burst of electric brilliance!

He laughed exuberantly as the Yang God's form soared, expanding tenfold in an instant!

The colossal Yang God, now a kilometer tall, radiated a blinding divine luminescence. With each movement of his arms, crackling red currents flowed, echoing the profound truths of life's evolution.

Crack! Crack!

The Origin Blood Continent resounded with sounds as if it were on the brink of fracturing. He moved his arms unconsciously, as if the world, confined by the boundary walls, was effortlessly held within his grasp.

Hmm!

His gaze penetrated the boundary walls, instantly focusing on the Dim Starfield. His consciousness and the ripples of blood spread like countless unseen tendrils, filling the Starfield that had been nurtured by the Yang Meridian for eons.

The Origin Blood Continent and the Dim Starfield had seemingly transformed into his private domain, becoming an extension of his territory!

The sensation was akin to the entire cosmos morphing into a wondrous realm like the Gray Domain.

With a mere flicker of thought,

The Great Demon God Grec, impaled by the purple-golden spear, suddenly burst into hundreds of blood crystals. Liberated from the spear's constraint, he plummeted to the canyon's depths at Yu Yuan's feet.

The moment Grec touched down, his flesh and blood instantaneously reconstituted, restoring him to his former self. Beneath the towering blood pillar that was Yu Yuan, Grec's eyes radiated a complex light. Unlike his fellow Blood Devil Clan members, Grec, at the Demon God Level, retained his own consciousness even as the original imprints on his heart and soul were forcibly overwritten.

He was aware of the events that had unfolded. He had been instrumental in the creation of the Blood Devil Clan, endowing them with formidable combat prowess and establishing them as a force that resonated throughout the cosmos, powered by the source of the Yang Meridian. Yet, in attempting to possess Yu Yuan for a final counterstrike, their progenitor met with a swift and baffling demise.

Grec was at a loss, uncertain of what transpired after the Yang Meridian's consciousness invaded Yu Yuan's soul, leading to such an outcome. The end result was that Yu Yuan had completely absorbed their ancestor, emerging as their new Founder. Struggling to come to terms with this reality, Grec gazed up at Yu Yuan, torn between offering reverence like his clan or mounting a desperate resistance in hopes of reawakening the Yang Meridian's consciousness.

"Better to stay put," he muttered to himself.

With a gentle whistle, Yu Yuan's crystalline Yang God emerged from the parched earth. Standing atop the frosty terrain, he smiled radiantly at the Supreme Demon Phoenix perched on its throne and suggested, "This world need not remain sealed. Let's avoid battling on the Origin Blood Continent, shall we? After all, its destruction isn't what you're after, is it?"

In an instant, the Dragon Slash Platform shifted from beneath his true form to the feet of his Yang God. Yu Yuan settled onto it as if it were his divine seat.

Crack! The chasm, forcibly widened by the Supreme Demon Phoenix, began to close once more. Yu Yuan appeared to be mending the Origin Blood Continent with his own power, healing the land to prevent this realm from turning into a Dead Silence Stars.

"How intriguing," the Demon Phoenix remarked with a sly grin, observing Yu Yuan with keen interest. "A novel Titan spinosaurus, forged by the Yang God. Poor Blood Devil Clan members, still oblivious to the fact that their progenitor has been supplanted."

Currently, you're not the supreme being of the vast Human Clan because you lack the original source, and your soul has been unable to forge a divine seat."

"However..."

"This body, favored by the Origin Blood and having consumed the Yang Meridian, can be seen as an adult Starry Behemoth. Moreover, it's a behemoth capable of endlessly enhancing its blood energy and strength. At this moment, you're comparable to an ancient Titan Spinosaurus that has just grasped the profound secrets of life from the Origin Blood."

Despite being aware of what had transpired, the Demon Phoenix remained poised, sensing the transformation within Yu Yuan's body and sharing her conjecture.

"Your assessment is spot-on."

Seated at the Dragon Slash Platform, Yang God Yu glanced at his physical form and discovered that after consuming the crimson river of blood, the Yang God could no longer merge with his true self.

He was unable to enter the microcosm of his physical body's vital energy.

It appeared that the realm of his Yang God had exceeded that of his true form, ascending to a new pinnacle, thus preventing the fusion.

The Demon Phoenix was correct.

The state and form of his Yang God resembled that of the Great Demon God of the Blood Devil Clan, which Ann Ziqing had transformed into using the power of the Yang Meridian.

Of course, this was only a resemblance. His Yang God's tier was several notches above, complete with a full life sequence and numerous Bloodline Secret Techniques that had been understood and gathered.

These unique factors enabled him to surge to the upper echelons of the Alien Realm without needing the so-called origin of the vast expanse.

"Barrier Wall."

His eyes, filled with innumerable crimson stars, fixed upon the Barrier Wall shrouding the Origin Blood Continent. He uttered blood-colored talismans.

The talismans vanished the moment they left his mouth.

When they reemerged, they were within the ethereal purple Barrier Wall, colliding with the thirty-six ancient demons conjured by the Demon Phoenix.

Thunderous roars echoed!

In the otherworldly Barrier Wall, the blood-colored talismans he had just expelled transformed into fierce blood beasts, their bodies clad in sturdy scales, battling the ancient demons that once roamed the vast expanse.

The clash of scarlet bloodlight and pale purple lightning wove together like two intertwining bloodline laws.

The outer wall, no longer sealed by the force of extreme cold and devoid of icy rock, appeared to onlookers both outside and within as if countless beastly shadows were locked in relentless combat.

Visible cracks and gaping fissures materialized on the barrier, shifting between pale purple and deep crimson hues. Jee Ningshuang, confined beyond the barrier, gazed at her feet, lost in thought for a moment before transforming into a brilliant river of stars, effortlessly surmounting the obstacle.

She halted Yu Yuan's physical form with her sword and turned her attention to the Yang God seated on the Dragon Slash Platform. "Are we about to engage in battle?"

Before the Yang God could respond, Yu Yuan's physical form gave a grave nod.

"Whether it's beyond this realm or not, as long as you dare to step out."

The Demon Phoenix's brow furrowed as she observed the Origin Blood Continent, shrouded by the enigmatic barrier. She witnessed the resurgence of collapsing mountains and valleys, and the temples of the Blood Devil Clan reduced to rubble.

In her heart, she envisioned that once she acquired her desired prize, the entire Origin Blood Continent and the Dim Starfield would become her Kingdom of Beasts.

She had no desire to see her possessions, which she deemed as good as hers, laid to waste.

Reid, Flake, and beings like the Great Demon God could be dispatched with ease, without compromising the structural integrity of the Origin Blood Continent or shaking its very foundation.

The fantastical purple barrier was erected to seal this world and prevent it from shattering.

Yet now, a formidable adversary capable of breaking her seal had emerged, one she had to take seriously. If their battle were to remain within the Origin Blood Continent, the realm would surely be doomed!

With a whoosh, the massive purple divine throne upon which she was seated soared into the air and plunged into the barrier, passing through without pause.

"Of course, I dare."

Yu Yuan, in hot pursuit, steered the Dragon Slash Platform across the barrier and into the heavens beyond.
