C1837 The Little Spinosaurus's Call for Help
In the silent expanse of the starry sky, where the cold darkness bordered on the void, there was scarcely a trace of cosmic energy.
On the desolate surface of a long-abandoned star stood a statue of a giant purple phoenix, its surface painted with a substance resembling dried blood. Despite being a mere stone sculpture, the majestic purple phoenix radiated an aura that commanded the reverence of all creatures.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Alien beasts from the Dark Star and Monster Lords from the Everlands, as if heeding the call of the phoenix statue, converged from every corner of the Astral Domain.
Thunderhawks, Blazing Bulls, ninth-level Starbeasts, Darkgold Beasts, Abyssal Winged Lizards, Iron-winged Birds, Scarlet Tiger Kings, Desert Giant Crocodiles, and other colossal beast kings all assembled in one place.
The star, desolate for eons, was suddenly teeming with the arrival of tens of thousands of archdemons and alien beasts.
Whoosh!
The eyes of the statue, crafted from some unknown stone, suddenly ignited with a faint purple flame. The will of the Dark Phoenix seemed to descend from the heavens.
Aoao! Roar!
The beasts roared in unison, bowing in worship at the feet of the phoenix statue.
Boom!
A fierce bolt of lightning struck a nearby star, splitting the earth asunder.
From the ground rose another enigmatic statue, resembling a mountain. It was a golden deer, towering like a mountain of gold, as if cast from the metal itself.
Crack!
Elsewhere, a frog crouched, seemingly carved from an enchanted tree.
With the sun held in its mouth, the frog gazed upon the statue of the purple phoenix as if beholding their deity.
Boom!
A massive meteorite drifted by, and atop it perched an Iron-winged Bird of inconceivable size!
Upon its appearance, the Iron-winged Bird heeded the Dark Phoenix's summons and hastened towards the Dark Star, its piercing eyes shining with divine light.
Wuwu!
The Iron-winged Bird beast king screeched, signaling to all the beast kings that the bloodline of the Iron-winged Bird depicted on the meteorite had ascended to the tenth level!
Indeed, there was no need for such a reminder.
The sight of the golden deer and the sun-cradling frog was enough for all the archdemons and alien beasts to recognize the truth.
The golden deer, the frog, and the Iron-winged Bird were all tenth-level alien beasts! Consequently, all the extraterrestrial alien beasts, their blood boiling with excitement, turned their gaze towards the statue representing the Dark Phoenix. They immediately noticed that the Dark Phoenix's eyes were fixed on a desolate and silent area ahead. A barrier, akin to a membrane, appeared to exist eternally, separating the two worlds.
Whoosh!
The statue of the Dark Phoenix unleashed two thick beams of demon energy from its eyes. The deep purple beams shone upon the barrier between the worlds, piercing into the unknown, desolate territory. Like a beacon, the light dispelled the chaos and void, revealing the truth. Across the starry sky, the giant deer with golden hooves emitted a resplendent golden divine light. With wings unfurled, the Iron-winged Bird, vast as continents, soared through the silent stars, seemingly capable of traversing the Astral Domain in a flash. The frog, clutching the sun in its mouth, croaked as if greeting its fellow alien beasts.
The Beast Kings, who had followed the Dark Phoenix into the Dark Star and were suddenly transported here, gazed in astonishment at the statues that now manifested before them. They realized something profound—another world existed! It seemed to be a paradise for alien beasts, a place where they too could ascend to the tenth level! Their true odyssey was not within the Dark Star but in that other realm. The Dark Phoenix, revered as the King of the Monsters, had long since explored this world, gaining followers and even a tenth-level Beast God stronger than themselves! The Dark Phoenix's stature in their eyes soared to unprecedented heights!
...
Zekrica.
The palace, now devoid of walls after Han Qi's refinement, stood at the entrance to a subterranean cavern. With Yu Yuan's permission, Qiyan inspected the palace, forged from the essence of Shadow Mountain in the Wraithlands, with curiosity. He released a stream of his toxic light into the cave below and quickly discovered that the Lunar Meridian in Zekrica had long since dried up. Before Kaiya's journey to the Everlands, he, like Yu Zhu, had revered the Lunar Meridian as sacred. However, Kaiya's convincing arguments revealed to him that the Primal Demons had come into being even before the Everlands existed.
He, along with White Walker, Fides, Xuanying, Huangyin, and the rest of the so-called Terra Fiends, were in fact members of the Star-Spawned Terror.
Their thoughts and spiritual wisdom had been twisted due to the corruption of their souls' imprints by the Lunar Meridian's poison, leading them to believe they were true Terra Fiends.
"The Lunar Meridian has been sealed by the Lord. Once the impurities are purged, and should a new race emerge, they would likely be part of the Sky Fiend, right? When that time comes, could Lord Bertain summon the Sky Fiend from the Everlands?"
Qiyan mused as he used his power to meticulously comb through the underground Lunar Meridian in Zekrica.
Suddenly, he faintly perceived Kaiya's familiar presence.
A desiccated tributary of the Lunar Meridian appeared to have been stealthily reinvigorated by Kaiya's energy. The Sword Prison palace, deliberately relocated, was also emanating a thick Yin Qi.
The Yin Qi seeped into the underground depths.
...
As time progressed, Yu Yuan remained on the Primal Blood Continent, delving into the mysteries of blood magic and the Secrets of Life, while also keeping an eye on extraterrestrial affairs.
Each member of the Blood Fiend clan served as his informant, funneling information back to him.
Boom!
One day, as he sat in meditation, his heart jolted with a sudden shock.
He had detected the young Titan Spinosaurus!
Despite Loong Jie's counsel and without allowing Loong Jie to accompany it, the little spinosaurus had reached out for help, pleading for his attention and assistance.
The heart of the little spinosaurus contained traces of his lifeblood, yet due to its enigmatic nature, it often eluded his bloodline searches.
Initially, in the Ashlands, only when the little spinosaurus initiated contact could he sense it. Otherwise, it remained undetectable.
After he assumed dominion over the Ashlands, the little spinosaurus could no longer hide; he could locate it anywhere within that realm.
However, once it left the Ashlands, it vanished from his perception, clearly intent on evading him.
Until this moment.
Yu Yuan rose slowly, pressing a hand to his chest where a crimson glow of bloodlight hissed into existence. Hundreds of delicate bloodline chains, fine as strands of hair, intertwined and solidified into the arcane technique known as the Root of the Solar Meridian.
"Found it!"
A low shout echoed, and within the crimson glow, the form of the little spinosaurus began to emerge.
It presented itself in the original body of a young Titan Spinosaurus, seemingly in a frenzied struggle to break free from some invisible bonds and soar into the sky.
Yet, it was futile.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Beneath it, the world was shrouded in darkness. Faintly, it seemed as if a creature as massive as a cosmic giant beast was ferociously slamming against the heavens, ready to burst forth from the earth.
"The Abyssal Gate!"
Yu Yuan, unable to see clearly, instinctively knew that the little spinosaurus had encountered the Abyssal Gate and was ensnared by the power of the "gate."
The little spinosaurus's struggle was an attempt to escape the gate's grasp!
"Lizard."
In the Ionodios Realm, Yu Yuan reached out with his true form, his call penetrating the mind of the Abyssal Greater Basilisk.
"I am here."
"Join me at the Abyssal Gate."
"This? Hmm, alright."
What the Great Demon God Bertain had failed to achieve in the past, Yu Yuan now accomplished with ease.
