C1847 The Nest of This Dragon

A highly intelligent ghost and a Blood Devil Clan warrior, possessed by Yu Yuan, gazed up at the Phoenix Shrine together. At that moment, the Dark Wing Starfield was teeming with thousands of souls and specters, dispersed by the Soul Summoning Flag. This highly intelligent ghost could manifest within any cluster of souls, making it rather inconspicuous.

Likewise, Yu Yuan, having imbued a sliver of his will into Qike, wouldn't draw much attention in the current state of the Dark Wing Starfield.

"Traveling between two worlds," Yu Yuan mused, his Blood Devil Clan form and aura lending him a grave demeanor as he stared at the sealed doors.

"I understand that you were her strategist when she first ventured into the other realm. It was later that the Phoenix Shrine acquired the power to traverse between worlds."

The ghost, a fragment of the Wisdom Divine King's consciousness, expressed its discontent, "She must have discovered a spatial power capable of breaking the barriers between worlds and applied it to the Phoenix Shrine. Since then, the shrine has served as a portal between the two realms."

After a brief pause, the Wisdom Divine King elaborated, "The Phoenix Shrine is not like the Origin Realm, which serves as a mere bridge for the souls of both worlds. Physical beings cannot pass through it."

Yu Yuan was taken aback.

"Origin Blood, or the Origin Blood of this world, may not be unique. It could have been singular at one time but has since divided into multiple parts." He peered into Qike's dark red eyes and continued, "The highest ruler of the world with the Beast God, much like you and the Titan Spinosaurus, was also chosen by the Origin Blood and endowed with extraordinary powers."

"Of course, that's the Origin Blood from another world. Yet, it exists on the same plane as our world's Origin Blood."

"Perhaps... they were once a single entity."

"The Yang Meridian is its creation, a crimson river carrying the Life Seed."

As the Wisdom Divine King from the vast epochs of antiquity, who had concealed himself in the abyss for tens of thousands of years, he possessed profound knowledge of the abyss, this world, and even the realm where the Beast God roamed.

"Origin Blood is not unique?"

Yu Yuan's mind reeled from the revelation, his thoughts drifting to the mountain peak encircled by stars and the expansive land at its summit.

That was the domain of another world's ruler.

Boom!

The Phoenix Shrine quaked, its coloration undergoing a dramatic transformation to pure gold.

Golden hoofprints manifested within the transformed shrine, as if a mystical alien beast from another realm was traversing the ripples of space, fervently making its way here.

Creak!

The long-sealed doors of the shrine were pushed open from the inside.

Boom!

The soul that the Wisdom Divine King had imbued within Yu Yuan vanished in an instant as the shrine's doors swung open.

Infinite golden radiance poured forth from the Phoenix Shrine's open doors. Qike, now inhabited by Yu Yuan, gazed up at the temple, reminiscent of an ancient deity's abode, as his flesh began to burn in the sacred glow.

He beheld a golden giant deer, of majestic bearing, emerging from the Phoenix Shrine.

This was the final sight witnessed by Qike's form.

After eons, the Dark Wing Starfield of this world finally heralded the arrival of its first Tenth Level alien beast!

The golden giant deer had been summoned by the Supreme Demon Phoenix!

"Phoenix Shrine!"

Yang God Yu, seated at the Abyss Gate, felt a slight tremor and furrowed his brows.

"A Beast God from another world has officially made his presence known in the Dark Wing Starfield."

He turned to the Abyss Goanna and openly shared, "The enigmatic golden giant deer you once saw is no longer just a fleeting vision."

"Has it finally arrived?"

The Abyss Goanna, once again in the guise of an elder from the Silver Scale Clan, glanced at the Abyss Gate and nodded, "First the Abyss, now this world. Since Beilstein's departure, things have certainly become lively. It seems as though our world is now seen as ripe for conquest."

"How did it arrive?" inquired the Chaos Roc urgently.

"Through the Phoenix Shrine."

Whoosh!

The Dragon Slash Platform materialized beneath Yu Yuan's true form. He left the Yang God to watch over the Abyss Gate while he, aboard the Dragon Slash Platform, soared into the skies.

"Where are you headed?" called out the Spinosaurus.

"To the battlefield."

Both Yu Yuans responded in unison.

...

In the Great Swamp, a burly ape with sparse fur perched atop an ancient tree, its gaze fixed on the "Destruction Den" nearby.

This den, once a conduit to the Green Fluorescent Realm, had been sealed off lately. No one could activate it, making communication with the Winged Race of the Green Fluorescent Realm all but impossible.

Whoosh!

Loong Jie suddenly materialized in human form and landed at the "Destruction Den," causing the Great Swamp to tremble violently.

The ape, upon seeing Loong Jie, was so terrified that it shuddered and hastily darted deeper into the swamp.

It was the sole offspring of the Desolate God.

Standing before the "Destruction Den," Loong Jie flashed a grin and gestured to the Babel Chamber of Commerce members nearby, saying, "Don't worry, I'm just passing through."

The Chamber members, who were managing a space teleportation array, facilitated faster travel for those entering and exiting the Destruction Den, helping them reach their sects more quickly.

Upon hearing Loong Jie's words, the Chamber members wore forced smiles and quickly sought further instructions.

Half an hour later.

Zhong Chichen, clad in flamboyant attire, arrived with Mo Baichuan on a multicolored cloud, stopping beside the "Destruction Den."

Mo Baichuan, ever reserved, maintained his usual silence.

Yet, his presence in the Great Swamp made all the demons and human cultivators feel as though the air they breathed had grown scorching hot.

"The Dark Wing Starfield has been sealed by the Divine Soul Sect, rendering its spatial laws unusable. The quickest way I can think of to reach the Dark Wing Starfield is through this nest left by the Secular Bird Queen," Zhong Chichen explained with a smile.

Mo Baichuan nodded slightly, his eyes alight with a flame that seemed capable of incinerating the Eon Realm, emanating a sense of extreme danger.

"The space transfer within the nest is also down," Ho Zhan from the Chamber called out with a sheepish smile from a distance.

"That's for you. I, on the other hand, can naturally communicate with the Secular Bird Queen," Zhong Chichen replied confidently as he leaped into the nest. He scattered streams of brilliant light that cascaded down like raindrops.

With a sizzle, the interior of the "Destruction Den" was instantly saturated with his spatial powers. His soul's thoughts followed a unique path, weaving through the cosmos.

Before long, he sensed a connection to the Dark Wing Starfield.

"How's it going?" Loong Jie asked, his face full of hope as he watched Zhong Chichen and the glowing nest.

"Seven-Colored Dragon, have you been scheming to seek me out?"

The piercing, icy voice of the Supreme Demon Phoenix sliced through the air from within the "Destroyer's Lair," lacerating Zhong Chichen who was inside, causing his skin to split and flesh to tear in mere moments.

The "Destroyer's Lair" snapped shut violently.

The Space-time Dragon, intent on taking Mo Baichuan and Loong Jie to the Dark Wing Starfield via the "Destroyer's Lair," found itself ensnared, the lair's tendrils tightening around it like a trap.

The lair's spear-like branches pierced through Zhong Chichen's body. Even as he transformed into the Colorful Divine Dragon, he could not break free.

Zhong Chichen's agonized screams echoed as his dragon form withered, his lifeblood draining away rapidly.

Meanwhile, in the Great Swamp.

Beneath the ruins of the Demon Palace in the north of the Quietus Continent, the silhouette of a phoenix emerged slowly.

"Hall Master!"

"Demon Phoenix!"

All the Demon Kings and human practitioners who had chosen to follow the demonic arts prostrated themselves before the emerging phoenix.

"Colorful Patriarch!"

Loong Jie bellowed, taking on the form of the Golden Giant Dragon.

His formidable presence filled the skies of the Great Swamp, the resplendent golden scales drawing the gaze of cultivators from the Profound Sky Continent who gathered to witness the spectacle.

"Demon Phoenix!"

Mo Baichuan, brimming with battle spirit, called forth his pill furnace named "Flowing Flames."
