C1807 The Otherworldly God!
Atop the Dragon Slaying Stage, Yu Yuan's demeanor remained serene, with only a hint of astonishment flickering in his eyes.
It seemed he was taken aback that the Solar Meridian had made such a foolhardy decision.
Countless eyes, from heaven to earth, were fixed upon him, anticipating the enigmatic transformation that was about to unfold.
They all sensed that, in an instant, the Root of the Solar Meridian might stir within Yu Yuan's body, enabling him to perform feats beyond belief.
For instance, he could seize control of the Dragon Slaying Stage or wield the Titanblade to cleave the Dark Phoenix.
Yet, nothing of the sort occurred.
Yu Yuan licked his lips and, noticing the collective gaze of people and Dark Deities upon him, chuckled softly and remarked, "It's overthinking. And you... you're all overthinking as well."
In the following moment, his gaze swept across the Blood Fiend scattered throughout the Primal Blood Continent.
His laughter rang out, clear and joyous.
The first to undergo a transformation were the Blood Fiend of this world, previously dazed and desensitized.
Due to Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body, the Bloody River below had been consumed, and the intense cold had taken its toll...
The weaker Blood Fiend clansmen were left with muddled senses and foggy consciousness, trapped in a bizarre limbo where they couldn't discern their own identities, as if ensnared in a nightmarish delusion.
However, with the awakening of the Solar Meridian's spiritual wisdom and the reinvigorated flow of the river, the Solar Meridian retaliated against Yu Yuan.
Boom!
In the minds of the Blood Fiend clansmen, it was as if a streak of blood-colored lightning had zipped through the core of their crimson hearts!
The most secretive bloodline chain, marked with the essence of blood, underwent a sudden metamorphosis.
Previously, whenever they sensed the bloodline chain, they envisioned a miniature Blood River symbolizing the Solar Meridian.
Now, that miniature Blood River had coalesced and refined into a crystalline red figure.
That was Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit!
At that moment, their deeply ingrained beliefs and perceptions were radically overturned!
It was as though, from the dawn of time to the present day, Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit had been their eternal guardian, bestowing upon them divine powers and the legacy of the Heir of Blood.
The Solar Meridian, once represented by the Bloody River, now grew vague in the memories of the Blood Fiend clansmen.
Destined to be utterly forgotten!
"Progenitor!"
"Forebear!"
Numerous eighth-level Blood Fiend warriors emerged from the trembling dark red castle. Upon seeing Yu Yuan standing with his sword atop the Dragon Slaying Stage, they all bowed deeply with earnest reverence.
"Congratulations, Progenitor, on finally acquiring a tangible body!"
"Congratulations on your rebirth, Progenitor!"
First came the salutations from the eighth-level Blood Fiend warriors, followed by the ninth-level elders, and then all members of the Blood Fiend clan!
Regardless of their location, any Blood Fiend who could glimpse Yu Yuan's form paid their respects as if in the presence of their deity.
Yu Yuan had revolutionized their beliefs, obliterating all traces of the Solar Meridian and embedding his own signature deep within their bloodlines and souls.
He had become the creator of the Blood Fiend clan!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The Solar Spirit, seated at the canyon's base and submerged in the slowly desiccating Bloody River, shrugged his broad shoulders. A stream of pure and untainted vital energy quietly erased the Dark Phoenix's purple blood glimmers.
Then he abruptly rose to his feet.
His legs, firmly planted in the Bloody River like pillars of red crystal, drew in the surrounding water like a colossal whale in a frenzied gulp, consuming all the remaining vital energy in a flash of lightning!
He laughed exuberantly as the Solar Spirit Body ascended, growing tenfold in an instant!
This towering Solar Spirit Body, a thousand meters tall, radiated a divine brilliance too intense to gaze upon directly. With each movement of his arm, crackling red currents flowed like the profound truths of the rules governing the evolution of all life's bloodlines.
Crack! Crack!
The Primal Blood Continent resounded with sounds as if it were on the verge of splitting apart. He moved his arms unconsciously, as if the world, confined by the wall, was effortlessly cradled in his hands.
Hmm!
His gaze pierced through the wall, instantly reaching the Dark Star. His consciousness and the ripples of blood spread like countless unseen tendrils, filling the Astral Domain that had been cultivated by the Solar Meridian for eons.
The Primal Blood Continent and the Dark Star had seemingly transformed into his personal dominion, an extension of his realm!
The sensation was akin to the starry sky morphing into a realm as wondrous as the Ashlands.
His mind stirred ever so slightly.
The Great Demon God Grec, impaled through the chest by a violet-gold spear, suddenly burst into hundreds of blood crystals. Once free from the spear's constraint, he plummeted to the canyon's depths below.
Upon touching the ground, Grec's body reconstituted from flesh and blood, reverting to its original form.
He stood beneath Yu Yuan, towering like a pillar of blood, his eyes radiating a complex mix of emotions.
Unlike his fellow Blood Fiend clansmen, Grec, as a Great Demon God, retained his own spiritual wisdom even after the original imprints of his heart and soul were forcibly replaced.
He understood what had transpired.
Their creator, who had forged the Blood Fiend race and granted them formidable combat prowess, enabling them to reign supreme across the Star River, had attempted to possess Yu Yuan in a final act of defiance. Yet, it met with defeat and dissolution at an accelerated pace.
The manner of its demise was somewhat perplexing.
Grec was unclear about what had occurred after the spiritual wisdom consciousness of the Solar Meridian's Root had infiltrated Yu Yuan's Mindscape, leading to such an outcome.
Nonetheless, the result was that Yu Yuan had utterly consumed their ancestor, emerging as their new creator.
Struggling to come to terms with this reality, Grec gazed up at Yu Yuan, unsure whether to bow down like his kin or to resist in a futile attempt to revive the spiritual wisdom of the Solar Meridian's Root.
"Just stay put."
With a gentle whistle, Yu Yuan's crystalline Solar Spirit emerged from the parched earth.
He hovered above the frosty ground, the chill seeping through his soles, and flashed a radiant smile at the Dark Phoenix seated on the Divine Throne. "This world no longer requires sealing. Let's avoid battling on the Primal Blood Continent, shall we? After all, you wouldn't want its annihilation, right?"
The Dragon Slaying Stage instantly relocated from beneath his real body to beneath his Solar Spirit.
He settled onto it gracefully, transforming the Dragon Slaying Stage into his Divine Throne.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The chasm, forcibly widened by the Dark Phoenix, began to close slowly at this very moment.
Yu Yuan appeared to be channeling his power to mend the ravaged Primal Blood Continent. He was healing the torn earth to prevent this realm from succumbing to the fate of a Dead Star.
"Interesting," the Dark Phoenix mused, a smirk playing at the corner of her mouth as she observed Yu Yuan, who had absorbed the Solar Meridian with keen interest. "A novel Titan Spinosaurus, crafted by the Solar Spirit. How tragic for the Blood Fiend clan, oblivious to the fact that their ancestor has been supplanted."
"At this moment, you are not the supreme being of the Everlands. Lacking the primal source, your soul could not craft a Divine Throne."
"However..."
"This form, graced by the Primal Blood and having consumed the Solar Meridian, can now be regarded as a mature cosmic giant beast. Moreover, it's a beast capable of endlessly enhancing its vital energy and strength through a complete life sequence. Currently, you're akin to an Old Titan who has just gleaned the Secrets of Life from the Primal Blood."
Despite her awareness of the situation, the Dark Phoenix remained poised. Sensing the transformation within Yu Yuan's physique, she voiced her conjecture.
"Your observation is spot-on."
Yu Yuan, seated upon the Dragon Slaying Stage, glanced at his real body and discovered that, after the Bloody River had been consumed, it could no longer merge with his real body.
He was unable to access the little world of vitality within.
It seemed that his Solar Spirit had transcended the level of his real body, reaching a higher plane, hence the inability to integrate.
The Dark Phoenix was correct.
His manifestation as a Solar Spirit bore resemblance to Ann Ziqing, who, through the power of the Solar Meridian, became the mighty Demon God of the Blood Fiend.
Yet, this was merely a comparison. His Solar Spirit stood several tiers above, possessing a complete life sequence and an array of blood magic acquired from the Solar Meridian.
These unique elements meant he did not require the so-called origin of the Everlands; his Solar Spirit alone propelled him to the pinnacle of extraterrestrial might.
"Wall."
His gaze, filled with innumerable crimson stars, fixed upon the wall enveloping the Primal Blood Continent. From his lips, he expelled a series of blood-hued spell symbols.
Every blood-colored spell symbol vanished the moment it left his lips.
When they reemerged, they were within a dreamlike purple barrier, colliding with thirty-six ancient archdemons conjured by the Dark Phoenix.
Boom! Boom!
The blood-colored spells he had just expelled transformed into ferocious blood beasts, their bodies clad in hard scales, battling the ancient Fey that once roamed the Everlands.
Scarlet bloodlight and pale purple lightning intertwined as if weaving together the laws of bloodlines.
The wall, no longer encased in the ice force, appeared to onlookers as if thousands of beastly shadows were charging within it.
Visible cracks and crevices formed on the barrier, which oscillated between light purple and deep red.
Ji Ningshuang, barred from entering, gazed at her feet in contemplation for a few seconds before transforming into a radiant Star River, effortlessly crossing the barrier.
She alighted beside Yu Yuan, who was seated on the Dragon Slaying Stage, and asked, "Is the battle commencing?"
Yu Yuan remained silent, but his real body nodded gravely.
"As long as you dare step out, it matters not if it's beyond our realm."
Dark Phoenix's brow furrowed as she observed the Primal Blood Continent shrouded by the peculiar barrier, witnessing the collapse of many mountains and valleys, and the transformation of the Blood Fiend temples into ruins.
In her heart, she envisioned that once she acquired what she desired, the entire Primal Blood Continent and the Dark Star would become her Kingdom of Beasts.
She was loath to see her assured possessions ruined.
Reid, Flekke, and the likes of the great Demon God Grec could be effortlessly slain by her without compromising the Primal Blood Continent's structure.
The fantastical purple barrier was meant to prevent the world from shattering.
Yet now, a formidable adversary capable of breaking her seal had emerged, demanding her attention. Should their battle remain confined to the Primal Blood Continent, its destruction was inevitable.
With a swoosh, her immense purple Divine Throne soared out, piercing through the colliding wall of bloodline rules without hesitation, disappearing in a flash.
"Of course I dare."
Yu Yuan, closely trailing, maneuvered the Dragon Slaying Stage across the realm barrier and arrived in the extraterrestrial.
