C2077 The Authority of the Abyss Lord

When Yuen Bu's true form was revealed, the constraints of the continent were effortlessly shattered by him. Blood clouds, propelled by his power, descended toward the Abyss Land below.

With a roar that pierced the heavens, Yuen Bu shattered Yu Yuan's seals. The sound waves reverberated, as if countless unseen mirrors were being obliterated, rendering the surrounding abyssal forces into chaos and nothingness.

The arrival of this ancient Beast God from the Desolate Realm sent shivers down the spines of the Abyss's mightiest, their blood quaking in fear. The sight of the blood-colored giant ape instilled dread and pressure in all who beheld it.

Yuen Bu had no need for the Shrouded Tower; with the Abyss Gate destroyed, his blood bond with the Beast Temple allowed him instantaneous return. Yet, he chose not to retreat. Embodying the true form of the blood-colored giant ape, he traversed the Bloodbath Ground, intent on using his own strength to extinguish the lives within the Abyss and transform it into a second Desolate Realm. This was the heavy duty he bore, the promise he made upon being chosen.

The blood-colored energy surged, twisting the void and obliterating the celestial bodies that Yu Yuan had crafted from the power of light. Darkness enveloped the sky.

Yuen Bu's sinister grin spread across his face as his scarlet gaze fell upon the drifting sword cave, Lin Daoke, and Ji Hui. "What I, Yuen Bu, set out to do cannot be stopped by anyone," he declared, his voice exuding towering confidence and an air of dominance, as if no force on earth could hinder him.

At these words, Yu Yuan, who was harnessing the power of the light platform, felt a slight tremor. The silver platform at his brow dimmed and withdrew into his mind.

"Damn it!" he exclaimed.

With a sudden whoosh, he plunged downward. In his perceptive sea of consciousness, the entire Abyss took on a vivid three-dimensionality. He could see every aspect of the Abyss's structure, the inhabitants and objects on each landmass, and the concealed Dao Laws and truths—all of which were now clear in his mind, the prerogative of the Abyss Lord.

The Bloodbath Grounds, formed by Yuen Bu and descending toward the lands below, could not escape his vigilant gaze. Like a mass of bloody clouds, the Bloodbath Grounds were on a collision course with the two continents of the second level.

On those two continents, there were countless members of the intelligent race of the Abyss, adorned in luxurious attire. As they witnessed the descent of the Bloodbath Ground, it seemed as though the apocalypse had arrived.

Their eyes brimmed with despair and helplessness.

The Evil Gods of the Abyss were absent, having departed with the Evil God Temple. It was a time of vulnerability for the Abyss.

Yuen Li, in his true form, was a figure of terror. His laughter and roars, along with the aura emanating from his massive form, left the Abyss's mightiest gasping for air.

The inhabitants of both continents were the elite of the Abyss, and they understood the implications of Yuen Li's presence.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, the Bloodbath Grounds burst into oblivion, one after another.

Yu Yuan, of modest stature, stood amidst the chaos, as if he were effortlessly inhaling and exhaling the mists.

Thick, blood-colored fumes rushed toward his seemingly insignificant frame, quickly assimilating into his physique.

It appeared as though he was "feeding," using the lifeblood energy from Yuen Li's Bloodbath Grounds to nourish his own viscera.

He obliterated each Bloodbath Ground, shattering Yuen Li's ambitions, his own body slowly stained by the crimson tide.

The blood, teeming with Yuen Li's life force, invaded his body, surging directly toward his heart and into the microcosm of Qi within his dantian, seemingly intent on assimilating him.

Yu Yuan let out a soft exclamation.

He observed the flesh and blood energy from Yuen Li that had penetrated his body, revealing its intricacies deep within his mind. A ruby-like platform materialized in his consciousness.

His Soul Altar, corresponding to the layer of origin blood, decoded the essence of the bloodline Yuen Li had discerned.

The knowledge was seared directly onto it.

The collapse of the Bloodbath Grounds, and the dispersal of the vital essence, inadvertently aided him in forging that platform.

His spirit was invigorated.

"Mr. Lin, buy me some time to delay him, just a little," he implored.

His soulful plea reached Lin Daoke's consciousness, momentarily startling the Sword Sect Lord, who showed a flicker of annoyance.

Lin Daoke was not fond of such direct soul-to-soul communication.

Nevertheless, he gave a subtle nod of acknowledgment.

Yu Yuan, situated between the first and second layers of the Abyss, perceived Lin Daoke's clear image in his mind and knew his request had been accepted.

Yu Yuan became increasingly reassured as he dissolved the Bloodbath Ground, using his life force to solidify the red crystal surface.

Whoosh!

A shimmering sword light burst forth from Lin Daoke's forehead, racing directly towards Yuen Bu's chest. The sword light grew exponentially, transforming into a dazzling river of brilliance. This river of light caused the thousands of Spiritual Swords and Divine Swords within the Sword Cave to resonate, as if all the Sword Dao True Spells of the world were contained within the depths of this sword.

Countless sword shadows materialized within the river of light, resembling the Great Sword Immortal wielding his sword in a dance. The sword intent from these shadows subtly targeted Yuen Bu's Heart Aperture.

Unlike human cultivators, the vital point of an alien beast was its heart.

"Heh!" Yuen Bu was unfazed, baring his teeth, which gleamed with a bone-white light, and declared, "Lin Daoke, my heart fears not your sword."

As the expansive river of sword light struck towards Yuen Bu's chest, it seemed no more than a slender silver thread in comparison to his massive frame—hardly worth a second glance.

Yuen Bu's chest, covered in thick fur, was streaked with blood-colored lightning that conjured the law of gold metal, embodying resilience and a frigid hardness among other truths of his lineage. His chest crystallized in an instant, forming a red crystal armor that radiated an unshakable force.

Clang!

Sparks scattered from Yuen Bu's chest as a magnetic field, created from the blood-red lightning, wore down Lin Daoke's sword light, grinding away the profound mysteries of the Sword Dao it contained.

Yuen Bu remained motionless, withstanding Lin Daoke's strike with just his chest, which bore not a single crack.

"What a formidable Yuen Bu!"

"Is this the might of the King of the Desolate Realm?"

The tearing of the luminous canopy had caused the Sword Cave, which housed mighty warriors from various realms, to ascend higher into the void, now occupying the location of the former Abyss Gate. This was the frontier between the Origin Realm and the Abyss.

The Sword Sect's disciples and the mighty from various factions atop the Sword Cave watched in astonishment as Lin Daoke's sword was unleashed upon Yuen Bu.

In the vast expanse, Lin Daoke, the pinnacle of human strength, could claim a life with a single strike. Throughout the river of time, even the mightiest of foreign races could be extinguished by a single sword stroke from Lin Daoke.

The sword light failed to pierce the chest of the blood-colored giant ape, not even leaving a scratch.

Yuen Bu's ferocity and unyielding nature had deeply shaken those around him.

"Yu Yuan!"

In this continent where the Light Origin Spirit lay hidden, creating more Bloodbath Grounds, Yuen Bu was taken aback by a sudden outcry after withstanding a strike from Lin Daoke.

He realized that the Bloodbath Grounds, spawned from his life energy, hadn't fallen onto the expected terrain.

Instead, Yu Yuan had destroyed them all.

His Life Stoste, meant to refine Yu Yuan into a 'blood clone' during natural corrosion, failed to do so.

Yuen Bu felt an unsettling sensation, as if his life's path was being scrutinized and picked apart.

His gaze, deep and fathomless, recalled how he had intended to seize a portion of Cadorath's Life Stoste, only for Yu Yuan to absorb it.

It was Yu Yuan's physical form, not his Yang God, that had assimilated the Life Stoste.

This puzzled Yuen Bu, who couldn't fathom how Yu Yuan's seemingly frail form could refine his Life Stoste.

At that time, Yu Yuan's primary soul had yet to awaken, and he was not a Primordial Spirit master.

Yet, Yu Yuan defied all logic, transforming a portion of Yuen Bu's Life Stoste into his own strength.

Now, as more life essence akin to the Life Stoste erupted from the Bloodbath Ground, not only was it absorbed by Yu Yuan, but he also discerned the profound truths of their bloodline.

Yuen Bu was instantly seized by an eerie dread.
