C1842 The Blood of the Dragon
"Father, you must save me," pleaded the youth, adorned in a violet gold dragon robe, his forehead crowned with a menacing dragon horn. His physique was robust and commanding, his eyes as large as bells, exuding an aura of authority without a hint of anger.
Yet, in Yu Yuan's presence, he had tempered his usual brashness, seeking to mend their strained relationship. The Abyssal Leviathan, disguised as a gaunt human elder, sneered with a twist of the lips, ready to heap further scorn upon him.
Once, both the Old Titan and the spinosaurus had forced him into seclusion within remote forbidden areas to cling to life. Despite their reverence for the Old Titan and the spinosaurus, he and the Lizard harbored deep-seated resentment and hatred. Seeking vengeance against the Old Titan was out of the question; it was a line he dared not cross.
However, given the chance to mock and belittle this young Titan Spinosaurus, he relished the opportunity to alleviate his own bitterness. "You poor creature, you lack your ancestor's fortune and the Primal Blood's favor. You'll never reach the heights of your forebear. You might as well resign yourself to that fate," the Abyssal Leviathan taunted with a grotesque smile, descending from the sky to level himself with the Dragon Slaying Stage.
"Your mouth is truly vile!" spat the little spinosaurus, whirling around in a sudden burst of rage. In the depths of its violet gold eyes, a light surged as if infused with a sanguine glow.
Beneath, the sea's colorful surface stirred with ripples, and the profound meanings of the giant beasts marked by the Old Titan Spinosaurus seemed to find a mysterious echo in the little spinosaurus. Its gaze grew vacant.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The beat of its Heart of the Titan resounded like a drumbeat, evoking images of ancient gods and Trolls wielding massive hammers against celestial drums.
With a thunderous pulse, the Abyssal Greater Basilisk abruptly shed its guise as an elder of the Silverscale Tribe, reverting to its colossal beastly form. "Leviathan!" the Lizard bellowed in the ancient tongue of the giant beasts, as a torrent of mud and stone erupted from the crevices of its scales.
In an instant, a peculiar sandy Otherworld materialized around the Lizard's massive frame, with countless gray-brown veins of energy forming the foundational rules of this little world. The immense Abyssal Greater Basilisk, miles in length, slowly manifested the Maw of Oblivion atop its head, as though preparing to carve a path to freedom.
However, the Maw of Oblivion, brimming with colorful, ghostly light, was being infiltrated by an external force during its formation.
It was violently torn asunder, transforming into a cascade of brilliant meteors that plummeted onto the vibrant sea surface.
"Ugh!"
Yu Yuan, standing upon the chromatic sea, sensed the lingering presence of the old spinosaurus within the Abyssal Gate, still lamenting its unworthiness.
A sudden jolt of danger surged through him instinctively!
Before his eyes, the bloodline mysteries of the giant beast, branded upon the Abyssal Gate, materialized into actual colossal creatures!
These cosmic giant beasts, once sovereigns of the ancient Star River, wreaking havoc across the Domains during the dawn of chaos, now seemed to spring to life within the Abyssal Gate, charging directly at him!
It was as if the blood magic of the old spinosaurus sought to integrate with his Solar Spirit, striving to complete what was lacking within him.
It aimed to allow him to exist in the prime form of the Titan Spinosaurus!
Yet...
Whoosh!
The Dragon Slaying Stage, previously beneath the real body's foot, morphed into a golden blade and settled into the grasp of his Solar Spirit.
His Solar Spirit, rising serenely into the air, gazed at the shadow of the giant beast gliding across the colorful sea and chuckled softly, "So, you too are not content to concede."
A patchwork blood cloud ascended from the sea's surface. This cloud, laden with the secrets of decay, lunged ferociously at Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit.
To Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, this mottled blood cloud appeared as a massive, stunning jellyfish.
Packed with a venom that could erode both bloodline and soul, entanglement meant an inevitable corruption of blood and spirit.
Boom!
Yu Yuan's enigmatic Solar Spirit expanded a thousandfold. The elongated Dragon Slaying Stage thrust at the patchwork blood cloud.
The giant, beautiful jellyfish was effortlessly skewered by the Dragon Slaying Stage, and with a gentle twist from Yu Yuan's hand, the mottled blood cloud dissipated into nothing.
"Be careful!"
The Lizard's alarmed cry jolted the momentarily dazed Abyssal Leviathan back to reality. It revealed its massive form and frantically sought refuge in the muddy Otherworld opened by the Lizard.
His distraction was due to the little spinosaurus, which had previously been in a stupor, now showing a spark of life in its eyes.
Yet the look in those eyes was eerily familiar to the Abyssal Leviathan.
It was the same haunting gaze that haunted his nightmares!
The violet gold eyes of the little spinosaurus exuded a savage, bloodthirsty glare, the kind that saw other giant beasts as nothing but prey—a nightmare for any cosmic giant beast.
Once seen, it was impossible to forget.
"Old, Old Titan..."
The Abyssal Leviathan couldn't finish his thought before a fist-sized drop of blood emerged from the palm of the young Titan Spinosaurus.
Upon closer inspection, the drop resembled a violet-gold star, bearing a striking resemblance to the Tyria Main Planet.
Within the violet gold star, a complex network of bloodline chains intertwined, as if countless bloodlines and rules were converging!
"A single drop of the Old Titan Spinosaurus's lifeblood, concealed within the Abyssal Gate! With the little spinosaurus drawing in the power, it's being pulled back into its body!"
"Or perhaps, it's reaching its Heart of the Titan!"
The Lizard bellowed, unleashing a myriad of mud streams from the sandy Otherworld he had formed, engulfing the dumbfounded Abyssal Leviathan.
Submerged in the mud, the Abyssal Leviathan let out a low growl, taking on the full form of a giant beast.
"Is this old creature's drop of lifeblood aiding the little spinosaurus in completing its rite of passage?"
In the sea of mud, the Abyssal Leviathan released bubbles that burst, severing many unseen bloodlines, and it eventually joined forces with the Abyssal Greater Basilisk.
"Is its rite of passage to devour us?"
The Abyssal Leviathan muttered curses as it observed the little spinosaurus, whose spiritual wisdom had been shrouded by the Old Titan's lifeblood, rapidly undergoing a transformation.
It was morphing into the shape of a Titan Spinosaurus.
"Wait, that's not right! Yu Yuan, what's happening with Yu Yuan?"
The Abyssal Leviathan suddenly noticed Yu Yuan, the Solar Spirit, who had been standing on the colorful sea surface, had grown immensely in size. With the Dragon Slaying Stage as his weapon, he was engaged in a fierce battle.
Upon closer inspection, the Abyssal Leviathan gasped in horror, "Our own kind!"
Emerging from the Abyssal Gate, attempting to consume or assimilate with Yu Yuan's blood cloud, were the very giant beasts that had been slaughtered by the Old Titan Spinosaurus.
He recognized most of them!
"There's just one thing that's unclear to me."
In the magical realm of mud and sand, the Abyssal Greater Basilisk, breathing in the murky air, felt the "gurgling" influx of water. It knew that as soon as the Abyssal Leviathan entered, the little world it had carved out of mud and sand was suddenly filled with the infinite waters from the vast seas of the Star River, adding to the wonder of this place.
He and the Abyssal Leviathan were a natural fit; their combined efforts would amplify the power of their bloodlines.
"That brutal elder, is he aiming to aid his bloodline descendants, to help this little spinosaurus reach maturity, or..."
The Abyssal Greater Basilisk paused briefly before turning its gaze back to Yu Yuan, who was still managing quite comfortably, dispatching the vital energy-formed giant beasts one by one on the Dragon Slaying Stage.
"Don't ask me, I'm just as clueless."
Yu Yuan shook his head, "If he's doing this for the growth of his descendants, to let this little spinosaurus become what he was at his peak, then I might still hold some respect for him."
"But if..."
Yu Yuan's voice turned icy, "If this Abyssal Gate was actually prepared by him as a site for his own resurrection, then by obtaining my Solar Spirit and combining it with the bloodline mysteries of the giant beasts he once consumed, all integrated into the Heart of the Titan within the little spinosaurus..."
"He would resurrect in his prime!" exclaimed the Abyssal Leviathan.
"Exactly."
Yu Yuan nodded, "Apparently, he needs to regain a complete life sequence to truly resurrect. His drop of lifeblood could recreate a dragon's body with vital energy, even without this little spinosaurus. But with it, he could skip a significant step."
"The real fear is that he's aiming to resurrect himself, not to empower the little spinosaurus."
Boom!
The Abyssal Gate, shimmering like a multicolored ocean, trembled violently. The Evil Gods beneath it seemed to detect the anomaly, redoubling their frenzied assault.
Yu Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, "A bunch of fools rushing towards their demise."
If he's right, and that drop of violet gold lifeblood is used to resurrect through the little spinosaurus, merging with his Solar Spirit Body, it would indeed be a shortcut to revival.
The ancient Titan Spinosaurus, if it were to harness the profound bloodline mysteries inscribed within the Abyssal Gate's giant beast, would return in its most formidable form. When that time comes, the two worlds would seamlessly interconnect without any barriers. Freed from the combined seals of the Evil Gods, the Old Spinosaurus could once again plunge into the Abyss and utterly annihilate the howling Evil Gods.
With a roar, the little spinosaurus, now in its true form, was surrounded by innumerable strands of violet-gold Divine Thunder. It appeared to wield the power of the Abyssal Gate, commanding the blood magic once controlled by the Old Spinosaurus. Its ferocious, bloodthirsty gaze fell upon the Lizard, also transformed into a giant beast, and the Abyssal Leviathan. A single glance from the little spinosaurus sent a shiver down the spines of the two behemoths. For some reason, they sensed that even the muddied quicksand of the Otherworld they had forged together could not withstand the little creature's claws.
"Do you think a mere drop of lifeblood can turn the tide and bring about rebirth?" Yu Yuan chuckled softly. His colossal Solar Spirit, towering millions of feet tall, descended upon the little spinosaurus's neck. With a hand as sturdy as a pillar of the heavens, he gently clasped the creature's neck.
With a slight exertion of force, the scales of the little spinosaurus began to crack and splinter. With a thunderous crash, the little spinosaurus, now revealing its fierce and violent nature, was seized by the neck and hurled against the Abyssal Gate, collapsing once more to the ground. The dragon's head and body writhed in frenzy, but the neck Yu Yuan held was pressed firmly against the colorful sea's surface, unable to break free.
"Your time has come to an end; don't even think about causing any more chaos. I promised to let your bloodline's descendants survive, but that promise doesn't extend to anything else."
