C1841 The Profundity of the Gate

The vital energy from the little spinosaurus coalesced beneath Yu Yuan's feet, resembling slender bolts of ghostly lightning.

Yu Yuan gradually squatted down.

With a tearing sound, he drew forth a strand of refined violet-gold blood light, which he coiled around his crystalline, ruby-like fingers.

He leaned in close to the massive head of the little spinosaurus. In comparison to the unchanged head of the creature, his Solar Spirit seemed as insignificant as an ant.

Yet, the little spinosaurus was etched with fear.

It recognized the blood light on Yu Yuan's finger, instantly realizing that this was the energy crystal extracted by the Abyssal Gate.

It yearned for its return but dared not voice such a request.

Yu Yuan appeared so diminutive that it seemed a mere breath could send him flying miles away, but the creature refrained from any extra movements.

Instead, it watched Yu Yuan with a mix of obedience and slowly emerging sycophancy.

"You're quite the perceptive little one," the Abyssal Leviathan couldn't resist taunting, laughing eerily, "Compared to your ancestors, you're quite the disgrace to your lineage!"

"Silence!" the Abyssal Leviathan snapped, frowning.

"Is this your vital energy?"

Yu Yuan asked with a smile, flicking the strand of violet-gold blood directly onto the forehead of the little spinosaurus.

The blood light entered with a flash.

The slightly revived little spinosaurus hung its head, gazing blankly at Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body, its heart filled with confusion. "Why? Why does the ancestor favor you so much?"

Favor?

Yu Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "He's placed his great expectations on me."

With that, he tapped his foot lightly.

A crimson glow burst forth from the colorful sea beneath him, and clusters of dense blood patterns emerged from the surface he stood upon.

Yu Yuan's eyes sparkled with an unusual light as his remnant soul unfolded.

More crimson halos surfaced across the colorful sea, with myriad blood patterns of various shapes interlocking and merging, ready to manifest.

Lizard cried out in amazement, "It's the bloodline talent of our kin!"

"Not just one species!" the Abyssal Leviathan growled lowly.

The bizarre spectacle was fleeting. Just as the Lizard and the Abyssal Leviathan were poised to ponder it further, the vibrant sea reverted to its original state.

Yu Yuan's real body, along with his Solar Spirit standing atop the sea, furrowed their brows in deep contemplation.

The so-called "Abyssal Gate," which he had accessed with his remnant soul, presented a scene strikingly similar to that of the Primal Blood Continent's wall. The wall of the Primal Blood Continent concealed the intricate bloodline mysteries of alien beasts, interwoven with aspects of the Secrets of Life discerned through the Solar Meridian.

The "Abyssal Gate," constructed by the Old Titan Spinosaurus, encompassed the primal bloodlines of numerous cosmic giant beasts. It appeared that all the bloodline chains integrated into his dragon heart had been etched into the "Abyssal Gate" using vital energy, serving as a barrier between this world and the Abyss.

The Old Titan's core metal magic, the fire dragon's fiery lineage, the frost wyrm's icy profound meanings, and the Chronowyrm's space magic...

In addition, the Abyssal Gate also harbored arrays corresponding to the bloodline talents of the stars, earth, wind, thunder, rain, acid, and other arcane elements.

Yet, the fundamental force behind the construction of the Abyssal Gate's core was the life force within his dragon heart—derived from the Primal Blood. His blood, infused with the Secrets of Life from the Primal Blood, had the unique ability to manifest the mysterious bloodlines of all the cosmic giant beasts he had consumed.

This capability allowed him to brand the Abyssal Gate, transforming it into a series of formidable barriers!

It was at this moment that Yu Yuan had an epiphany. Amidst the chaos of this world, as the Root of the Solar Meridian had just emerged at the edge of the cosmos, the cosmic giant beasts still in gestation were born from the Life Seeds scattered by the Primal Blood.

The Primal Blood's seeds gave rise to the cosmic giant beasts, from which the mightiest, the Titan Spinosaurus, was chosen as its herald, endowed with the complete life sequence.

This tacit approval elevated the Titan Spinosaurus above all other giant beasts, anointing it as an unparalleled, supreme entity, and emboldening it to audaciously venture into the Abyss.

From the depths of the Abyss, it had retrieved a mysterious treasure of great significance.

Serving as its mouthpiece, the behavior of the Titan Spinosaurus, following its acquisition of the complete life sequence, could be seen as an extension of its will.

The Titan Spinosaurus was its Divine Weapon, the enforcer of its dominion over the Abyss.

Now, the Demon God Bertain, equal in stature to the Primal Soul, had once again entered the Abyss, searching for something within its dark recesses.

Suddenly, Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for the creatures dwelling in the Abyss.

The futile efforts of the Evil Gods below him, as they clashed against the vibrant sea, appeared somewhat feeble through Yu Yuan's gaze.

Boom!

A hidden blood mark erupted, casting a divine radiance that unveiled a determination entombed for eons.

The Old Titan Spinosaurus, perished in the Everlands, seemed to be imploring Yu Yuan for assistance, to watch over the dragon egg it had left in the world, in hopes of preserving its lineage.

Unbeknownst to the Old Spinosaurus, its "Abyssal Gate" was currently draining its offspring, siphoning their vital energy.

"You have been dedicated, tirelessly serving it all your life. Yet, there's an irony to it all."

With a thought, Yu Yuan released the bloodline chains binding the little spinosaurus and swiftly withdrew his remnant soul.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless tiny violet-gold dragons converged from every direction across the colorful sea, vanishing into the little spinosaurus's belly.

Revitalized, the little spinosaurus felt the returning strength invigorate its dragon form, its claws dancing with excitement.

It truly rose to its feet!

Aoao!

The little spinosaurus let out an exuberant roar, its bones snapping crisply as a majestic dragon's breath swept across the sea, creating a tempest that stretched far and wide.

Once more, it soared into the sky. Gazing down at Yu Yuan, still diminutive beside the grandeur of the Solar Spirit Body, the little spinosaurus hesitated briefly before beginning its transformation into human form.

In short order, it assumed a human shape, becoming the bold young man who had once made his mark on Tyria.

"Father..."

The little spinosaurus, reluctant to touch the sea's surface, drifted to the opposite side of the Dragon Slaying Stage. Gazing at Yu Yuan's real body, it wore a mournful expression and said, "I didn't want this to happen. That woman, Ann Ziqing, mentioned she caught a glimpse... It was my niece, discovered by the Dark Phoenix in the Dark Star Region, her heart torn from a dragon."

The little spinosaurus trembled, its face etched with fear. "I'm truly scared!"

Yu Yuan nodded reassuringly, "Don't worry, you'll survive."

Skepticism filled the little spinosaurus's eyes.

On the vibrant sea, only Yu Yuan's diminutive Solar Spirit remained, hesitating and scanning the surroundings as his remnant soul zipped beneath the waves.

The Old Titan Spinosaurus, with the bloodlines of numerous giant beasts imprinted at the Abyssal Gate, seemed capable of seizing the dragon's heart with the Solar Spirit!

This wasn't about gaining insight or grasping the intricacies of the giant beasts' bloodlines; it was about refinement.

Just as the Old Titan had done, after hunting and devouring a kin, the essence of the prey's bloodline emerged naturally within the victor's heart.

There was no need for contemplation or constant enlightenment.

Now, he could do the same.

His peculiar Solar Spirit Body could engulf the entire Abyssal Gate, refining it within himself, integrating the innate blood magic of the cosmic giant beasts into his Solar Spirit Body.

This shortcut eliminated the need to hunt and consume the giant beasts.

But...

If he refined the Abyssal Gate, the Evil Gods, unimpeded, would manifest in this world in an instant.

Moreover, Jihui's strategy against the Dark Phoenix would be undone.

"You've posed quite the conundrum," Yu Yuan murmured to himself, then added silently, "Regardless, I've made you a promise to safeguard it and ensure your bloodline endures."

He sympathized with the old creature's plight.

The old one had sacrificed everything for the Primal Blood, retrieving a precious treasure from the Abyss, perhaps to conquer the Everlands for the Primal Blood, only to meet his end there.

The Primal Blood, possessing spiritual wisdom yet devoid of sentient emotions, bore a lifetime of infamy.

The Way of Heaven is unfeeling.

Beings like the Primal Soul and Primal Blood represent a certain aspect of the cosmic Way, undoubtedly charged with their own missions, following their unique trajectories, and governed by their own set of rules.

Yet, without flesh and blood bodies, they seem almost incapable of movement, and have remained in a state of quiescence for eons.

They are devoid of emotions.
