C2078 I Broke Free of the Shackles
Yu Yuan's body, seemingly the weakest, exhibited numerous anomalies that alerted Yuan Le to a sense of foreboding.
Yuan Le, in his towering giant ape form, emerged above the Abyss, his head reaching the Origin Realm, where he could inhale the distinct cosmic energies of both the Origin Realm and the Abyss.
Without realizing it, his feet had left the ground, and he was slowly levitating.
His ascent instilled fear in the inhabitants of the Sword Cave, prompting them to hastily relocate their sanctuary.
Yet, Yuan Le paid them no heed.
No new Blood Slaughterhouse had formed, as it would no longer serve its purpose and would inadvertently aid Yu Yuan.
The blood ape stood at the pinnacle of the Abyss, surveying all below, including the first level of the continent, before turning its gaze to Yu Yuan's diminutive form.
"Lord of the Abyss, is that a title of the past or of the present?"
"If..."
Yuan Le's face grew increasingly solemn.
In that moment, the platform within the depths of Yu Yuan's consciousness, forged with the power of light, had swiftly reached completion upon his arrival on the continent.
The red crystal platform, corresponding to the Primal Blood, had also achieved completion due to the dispersal of the Blood Slaughterhouse's life essence.
As the eleventh-level Solar Spirit departed the Ashlands and ventured into the mountains, it lost its connection to the main body.
The instant the link was severed, the platform harboring the Secrets of Life was devoid of sustaining power.
Originally, the platform's completion awaited the Solar Spirit's liberation.
Now, with Yuan Le's descent into the Abyss World and the cataclysmic eruption of the Blood Slaughterhouse, Yu Yuan had intercepted an immense surge of life force.
The altar, engraved with the profound meanings of life and bloodline mysteries, had astonishingly come to full fruition through Yuan Le's power.
Two tiers of the four-layered Soul Altar were already in place, and the one aligned with the Demonic Vessel was quickly solidifying.
Yu Yuan had an epiphany; his Soul Altar and the platform linked to the Solar Spirit had detected two entities: the Primal Blood Continent and his eleventh-level Solar Spirit.
Similarly, the platform infused with light magic had perceived the presence of the Light Spirit beneath the earth's surface.
The moment he perceived the Light Spirit, it hastily concealed its presence deep within the earth, as if it had vanished in haste.
He sneered, "You're still the same, always a fence-sitter, forever making new choices."
His mockery of the Light Spirit went unanswered.
...
In the Origin Realm, a mysterious Astral Domain shrouded in the void, stars orbited his Solar Spirit, steered by over a hundred Beast Gods.
Using the Soul Altar, he shattered infinite seals and reestablished a connection with the Solar Spirit.
Moreover, the bloodline rules he deciphered from the Blood Slaughterhouse bore a striking relation to the Beast Gods of the Wasteland.
The grand Solar Spirit, bound by rainbow-like vital energy, was constricted by the movement of the stars, its vast power significantly hindered.
"You will perish here!"
"Yu Yuan, you stand no chance against our king. Both you and this realm are doomed."
"Our king is likely in the Abyss, using the Blood Slaughterhouse to ravage its depths, allowing the Life Seeds of countless alien beasts to sprout."
Sanha the white boa, the Starbeast God, and Soderis the Hawk God glared at Yu Yuan, taunting him.
Yu Yuan, oppressed by the weight of a mountain and his eleventh-level Solar Spirit subdued, suddenly connected with his real body and noticed additional bloodline rules within the Soul Altar in his mind.
The Beast God bloodlines gathered by Yuan Le were transmitted to the Solar Spirit via the Soul Altar following the Blood Slaughterhouse's detonation.
A peculiar light flickered in his eyes.
He observed the vibrant bloodline chains and instantly understood the operation of the bloodline rules, interwoven like chains.
The entwined bloodline chains were akin to locks, and he had just found the key.
With the key in hand, unlocking them became a simple task.
Hiss! Hiss!
His eyes, glowing like twin red moons, gazed upon the vivid blood-colored rainbows. Strands of life force transformed into the Life Blade, as precise as an artisan's carving tool, slicing through the bloodline chains.
The blood-colored rainbows shattered in an instant.
The chains that had ensnared his Solar Spirit Body, along with the stars, were once part of a unified whole.
The fracture of some chains created a vulnerability in this colossal array.
The myriad Cosmic Orders within Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body were no longer restrained!
With a thunderous boom, he erupted in infinite blood light. His arms forcefully shattered the blood-colored rainbows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the blood-colored rainbows and the stars connected to Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body shifted their orbits, the stars collided, eliciting howls from the Beast Gods.
"Sanha, I'll let you die once more!"
Yu Yuan, now unrestrained, gazed at the loudest of them all, Sanha the white boa, from within the depths of the swirling blood-colored smoke.
The violet gold blade, transformed from the Dragon Slaying Stage, moved with his will, impaling the white boa with her icy gaze onto her own star.
That star, too, was pierced by the Dragon Slaying Stage.
The pressure from the mountain's summit had lessened. Yu Yuan's massive arms slapped and twisted, resembling two undulating mountain ranges amidst the thick demonic clouds and blood fog.
Boom!
Stars shattered, and Beast Gods screamed as Yu Yuan tore them apart.
Atop the mountain, the Earth Spirit, inhabiting Sekou's body, descended with a massive bear-like form.
In the midst of tumbling stars, fragments of the world, and the remains of Beast Gods, it clashed with Yu Yuan.
"How can this be?"
"Has something gone wrong with our king in the Abyss?"
"With the Great Demon God Bertain and the Evil Temple ablaze in the Everlands, who can withstand our king?"
The black goat, Death Viper, smilodon, and Ape were all stunned by the unfolding spectacle, their minds thrown into disarray.
The four Beast Gods' gazes fell upon Yuan Le's Blood Clone, still perched on Sekou's shoulder.
"King?"
They inquired.
"Yu Yuan's real body has abruptly entered the Abyss, interfering with my grand scheme there."
The clone of Yuan Le that remained was visibly frustrated by Yu Yuan's actions. "His real body in the Abyss has been wreaking havoc on my Blood Slaughterhouse and has even mastered the bloodline rules I had gathered."
Yuan Le, clutching his hair, his scarlet eyes blazing with frenzy.
Suddenly, above the heads of the Beast Gods, the crimson Primal Blood Continent materialized. Dense blood light rained down from the crimson star, bolstering the power of Yu Yuan's eleventh-level Solar Spirit.
"Taishi!"
Yu Yuan bellowed, extending his hand toward the star occupied by the black goat.
A sphere of blood-hued light emerged in the center of his palm, revealing an octagonal emerald table.
The table's surface, resembling an octagonal eye, gazed upon the bewildered Taishi, who was under the black goat's control.
Taishi instantly regained his composure, breaking free from the black goat and darting toward Yu Yuan's palm.
Whoosh!
The moment Taishi took flight, the Dragon Slaying Stage, long prepared, captured his primordial spirit.
Yu Yuan was now free of any concerns.
On the Primal Blood Continent, an eleventh-level Solar Spirit maintained a constant connection with the first tier of the Soul Altar.
The Primal Blood of this realm, acquired through Yuan Le's bloodline mysteries and imprinted on the Soul Altar, was a delightful surprise when utilized by the eleventh-level Solar Spirit.
Before the Crimson Star, a chilling mist slowly took shape, with lightning streaking and thunder booming within.
The Image of God of Ji Ningshuang gradually solidified.
Summoned by the frigid call of the stars from the Dark Realm, she was capable of fighting on her own or merging with the extreme cold, unleashing strength akin to the mighty Direbear, Sekou.
In the shadows, Tan Xiaotian, observing her emergence from a distance, murmured, "She has grown stronger."
The Stardust Blade in Ji Ningshuang's grasp plunged into the heart of the blood cloud, disrupting the celestial rotation and complicating the maintenance of the array.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sword light, imbued with the ice magic, weaved through the demonic cloud and blood mist like frost wyrms, aiding Yu Yuan in his hunt for the Beast God and compelling Yuan Le's real body to return.
