C1886 He Broke the Shackles of the Alien Beast's Bloodline!
Disregarding the presence of Tan Xiaotian and the reactions of the Abyssal Leviathan and the little spinosaurus, Yu Yuan infused yet another stream of refined vital energy directly into Yu Zhu's Demon Heart!
The Demon Heart, as translucent as amethyst, glowed with a mysterious radiance, greedily absorbing his vital energy.
Yu Zhu's glossy lips quivered slightly, as though she had caught the scent of something sweet.
Within her wondrous Heart of the Phoenix, seven vibrant bloodline chains shone brilliantly, bursting forth with dazzling light and drawing Soul Power from her demon soul.
These seven radiant bloodline chains, akin to the fiend Qiyan, seemed to have been born from the toxic miasma of the Rainbow Ocean and were a blend with the essence of the Lunar Meridian.
Illuminated by Yu Yuan's life force, they shone with an intense brightness!
The energy that eroded spirits and decayed flesh and bone began to envelop the remaining heart of the little spinosaurus. In a flash, countless paralyzing and corrosive forces began to permeate the violet-gold crystal.
Crack!
The crystal, the size of a fingernail, slowly fractured, releasing numerous fine sparks of electricity.
Each strand of violet-gold lightning that escaped merged into Yu Zhu's Heart of the Phoenix. She involuntarily licked her lips, savoring the taste as if it were the finest delicacy.
Thanks to Yu Yuan's assistance, she had successfully dissolved the remnants of the little spinosaurus with her Heart of the Phoenix.
"What has the Dark Phoenix transformed into?"
The old Lizard, who had been silent for a while, peered through the veil of flesh and blood to witness the transformation within Yu Zhu's Heart of the Phoenix. With a grave tone, he remarked, "This girl's Heart of the Phoenix naturally possesses the power to consume and refine alien beasts, even those of our giant beast kin."
"The eight-legged spider from Shadow's Keep must have been devoured for its lifeblood when she was but a youth."
"The ascension and metamorphosis of the Dark Phoenix will be vividly reflected in her offspring, endowing her direct descendants with her innate theurgy."
It was akin to glimpsing only a part of the leopard through the brush.
The more enigmatic Yu Zhu's Heart of the Phoenix became, the more unfathomable the power of the ultimate Dark Phoenix appeared!
Whoosh!
Yu Zhu's purple feathers, previously covered by a seven-colored blood membrane, underwent a new cycle of growth and transformation.
The human form she had so diligently maintained vanished in an instant.
A majestic purple phoenix danced gracefully within the void of the Abyssal Gate, with thousands of purple, golden, and scarlet arc lights shimmering like feathers. With each pulse of the Heart of the Phoenix, these lights morphed into the numerous bloodline mysteries she had deciphered.
The blood cocoon shattered, heralding the phoenix's emergence!
A profound, mystical aura of ancient origins radiated from her grand and beautiful phoenix form, permeating the air around the Abyssal Gate.
Tan Xiaotian, the little spinosaurus, and two cosmic giant beasts watched her in stunned silence, marveling at her breathtaking beauty.
With a swift rip, one of her wings, now brimming with luminous spatial light, effortlessly carved a dazzling corridor through the fabric of time and space.
"Thank you, Father, for your assistance."
Her slender, enchanting eyes sparkled with joy and gratitude, feeling an even deeper connection with Yu Yuan.
Her soul underwent another purification, erasing any remnants of the fiend Qiyan's branding.
Within the clarity of her soul, another soul, in the form of a purple phoenix, hovered in her soul sea, compelling her to draw closer and lean on Yu Yuan whenever possible.
Yu Zhu and Yu Yuan had been able to communicate soul to soul since the earliest of times, and it remained true to this day.
She, in her phoenix form, chuckled with delight as she glided down the radiant path she had forged, heading towards the Darkpinion.
Lacking an origin, she ascended once again to the status of a Dark Deity by relying solely on the infusion of Yu Yuan's life force.
Or perhaps, she became a Beast God!
She was truly unique in the world. Even the exalted Dark Phoenix had relied on the vast origin of the Everlands to ascend to the status of a Dark Deity.
None among the ancient evilkind, including the Titan Spinosaurus, Kylin, Untamed, Green Willow—those born of the Everlands and imbued with a fraction of the Titan Spinosaurus's bloodline power—could break free from the Origin and attain the tenth level.
Yu Zhu was the first!
It seemed as though an eternal cosmic order that had bound her was suddenly shattered by Yu Zhu's bloodline evolution and her reclamation of the Dark Deity rank.
Yu Yuan, lost in his reverie, thought he heard a crisp sound, as if an eternal barrier had just burst asunder.
A crisp sound seemed to emanate from the Primal Blood Continent.
Yu Yuan was struck by an astounding hypothesis!
The alien beasts of this world were confined by a force that prevented those within the Star River from shattering their bloodline shackles to ascend to the tenth level and become Beast Gods.
Only those alien beasts born in the Everlands, known as evilkind, could break free and rise to the status of Dark Deity.
The rest, from the extraterrestrial domain, were eternally bound by the blood seal of the Primal Blood, unable to break through.
But today, just moments ago!
Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, as a manifestation of the Primal Blood's will and bearer of the complete life sequence, had aided Yu Zhu in elevating her bloodline to the tenth level, shattering the seal!
It was akin to the Dragon Slaying Stage, which once suppressed the Nagas, being removed from the dragon vein beneath the Moonfall Sanctuary, allowing the emergence of the Dragon God.
Yu Zhu was the first to break free, but she certainly wouldn't be the last!
"She..."
Yu Yuan, coming to his senses, gazed at the now-vanished space tunnel, as if he could hear the triumphant laughter of the supreme Dark Phoenix within the Phoenix Shrine of the Darkpinion.
The King of the Monsters!
She had sent Yu Zhu to him, seeking help to restore her to the ranks of the Dark Deities. But her aim was not solely to see her daughter reborn as a Dark Deity.
She had long known that he was the key to unlocking the seal!
The first success signified the breaking of the seal, heralding the rise of more Beast Gods to come!
"It seems like something incredible has happened."
Within the heart of the Abyssal Leviathan, a part of the aura connected to the Primal Blood suddenly stirred, but as a giant beast, it soon settled back into quiescence.
...
On Tyria.
Amidst the nameless vast ocean, on an island shimmering like silver, a snow bear stood as imposing as a mountain.
Nearby, on neighboring islands, the Duskjaw, Stormwraith, and Three-legged Golden Crow were all cultivating, drawing in cosmic energy.
For ninth level alien beasts like them, cultivation had become somewhat disheartening.
No matter their efforts, they could never break the bloodline shackles to ascend as the evilkind of the Everlands had, to become Dark Deities.
Although Yu Yuan and the Starborne Lizard had informed them of the existence of Beast Gods in the world, these divine creatures were born in a different realm. Being born in this world, what could they possibly do? The Dark Phoenix's promise to find a breakthrough for the alien beasts in the Dark Star Domain remained unfulfilled. The alien beasts that departed from the Dark Star Domain were still mere ninth-level beast kings, with no Beast Gods among them. The four alien beasts were slowly succumbing to despair.
Suddenly, the snow bear, the largest among them, experienced an unexpected sense of relief. It was as if the chains that had been buried deep within its bloodline for eons had been forcibly unlocked. The sensation was bizarre. Gazing blankly at the swirling energy vortexes overhead, it recalled the method of transformation that had been shared with it, despite its countless failed attempts in the past.
Yet, it had never succeeded. The ancient evilkinds of the Everlands could shrink and take on human forms, but alien beasts could not. It seemed as if all extraterrestrial alien beasts were under a mysterious curse, powerful as they might be, they were incapable of transforming or speaking human languages. Their offspring also lacked the innate intelligence characteristic of the Everlands' evilkinds.
This was their sorrow, a curse upon all extraterrestrial alien beasts, an unbreakable deadlock.
"Transform..." it murmured, as a brilliant light suddenly erupted from its silver eyes. To its astonishment, an actual voice emanated from its throat, not merely its inner thoughts! As it contemplated the transformation technique, its massive, snow-white body, thousands of meters in length, began to contract. The previously obstructed meridians now allowed vital energy to flow freely, thanks to the mystique.
Its face, physique, and form could now change at will. From thousands of meters, to hundreds, to tens, and finally to two meters. It had become him. The chieftain of the snow bear clan, on an unnamed island of Tyria, transformed into a nearly two-meter-tall, burly elder with a face framed by fur. His bare skin, covered in dense chest hair, became smooth elsewhere due to his focused intent.
After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly clutched at his groin and let out a bizarre cry, leaping and soaring a hundred meters into the sky.
Then, he yelled frantically at the Stormwraith, Duskjaw, and Three-legged Golden Crow on the neighboring islands.
"I, I've turned into this!"
