C2117 The Request to Descend

Deep within the heart of the Primal Blood Continent, rows of frigid crystals stack upon one another, forming a hidden sanctuary—a little world of their own. The ice energy rule within the crystals has become tangible, visible to the naked eye.

Those with an affinity for cold, who refine their corporeal bodies with ice energy, may find enlightenment here. If they can withstand the soul-shattering chill of these crystals, they may grasp the true essence of the Way of Frost and ascend to the tenth level of their bloodline.

For millennia, innumerable ice-type alien beasts and Otherkin warriors have longed to perceive the Way of Heaven in this very place. This bastion of bitter cold is not only a part of the extreme chill but also a physical representation of the cosmic order. It stands as the most formidable bulwark of the Primal Blood, so much so that even the great Demon God Bertain dared not tread here with his devil soul.

The little world it shields is a unique haven, brimming with breathtaking spectacles. Blood-colored waterfalls cascade from the heavens, appearing as still as time itself—like slender, blood-red lightning bolts frozen by the forces of time and space.

Beneath these waterfalls, in the heart of this small world, lie blood lakes and rivers of varying sizes. The air is thick with the rich, pure essence of blood energy, exuding a sweet and potent fragrance that seems to possess the power to transform living creatures into ethereal beings.

Deep within each blood lake, Life Seeds drift like waterborne plants, concealing the potent force of life's genesis. The depths of the rivers are home to the Bloodline Revelations, born from the beings of the Origin Realm, darting through the waters like lightning-fast rainbows.

This is the Primal Blood made manifest, a dense concentration of its spiritual wisdom, a cradle for its awakening and evolution. The blood waterfalls, though motionless, contain the Secrets of Life, endlessly refining and validating themselves to reveal new wonders and distill further mysteries.

The blood waterfalls are etched with the Secrets of Life, the blood lakes conceal Life Seeds, and within the rivers lie the bloodline mysteries—all integral to the Primal Blood.

In the icy crystals that have stood sentinel over the Crimson Realm for ages, faint sparks of electricity dance. These are the expressions of the consciousness of the extreme cold.

Whoosh!

Within the cascading crimson waterfall, crimson lightning darted from its once frozen stillness.

The biting cold was in discourse with the Primal Blood, inquiring why an enigmatic Life Seed had abruptly emerged on the back of Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit.

This Life Seed, voraciously absorbing vital energy, swiftly obliterated the seed that was destined to birth a creature of ice.

Transformed into a blood shadow, it refined a tremendous surge of vital energy and forced its way into the Frozen World it had crafted, resulting in the world's utter destruction.

All was in vain.

The power it had amassed and the ice magic it had meticulously woven vanished with the annihilation of that world.

The sudden emergence of the unknown Life Seed within Yu Yuan's body was a mystery.

The Primal Blood was tasked with unraveling the truth.

Thus, the Primal Blood delved into the heart of this celestial body to attune itself to Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit and to inspect the state of his corporeal form.

It wasn't long before the Primal Blood observed several unfamiliar and colossal blood shadows within Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body.

These blood shadows were linked to Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, harboring Bloodline Revelations so arcane and profound that even it could not fully comprehend them.

Having harvested seeds from the Abyss through the Titan Spinosaurus, it recognized that these were entirely different entities.

These Life Seeds were fundamentally distinct from the current Abyssal race!

To the Primal Blood's astonishment, such Life Seeds had manifested within Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, and projections of them existed within Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body.

Yet, despite being the creator of Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body and the bestower of his complete life sequence, it was utterly oblivious to their presence.

Previously, Yu Yuan, through his Solar Spirit, could assimilate and refine all manner of living creatures and Beast Gods, and it would be the first to harvest the blood seed imprint.

When the lifeblood of a vanquished Wasteland titan or a slain Beast God was absorbed, corresponding Life Seeds would materialize within the blood lakes.

Now, an anomaly had occurred.

Yu Yuan had become unpredictable, a development it was willing to accept.

But the Secrets of Life Yu Yuan had harvested, and the arcane knowledge related to the bloodline he had captured, were no longer resonating with it, causing immediate discontent.

Later, through Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, it witnessed an astonishing vision.

There, standing at the Wellspring of Creation, was the one who caused the Wellspring to descend toward an immensely vast tract of land. Inside that pool, the mass of flesh and blood contained an endless supply of vital energy that exceeded its own!

Gazing upon the vast expanse of land and the descent of the Wellspring of Creation, a sense of foreboding washed over it. It seemed that once the Wellspring of Creation merged with the peculiar landmass, the land would come to life, emerging from the boundless darkness. It would then hunt the beings of the Origin Realm born from it and could shatter the barriers between the Origin Realm and the Wasteland, slaughtering the life within the Wasteland as well.

Primal Blood understood the formidable power that the deity wielded in the darkness and knew that with the Dark Anima present, stopping it was nearly impossible. Unless...

Primal Blood proactively reached out to Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit with a plea for descent. As a superior Primal Anima, it had initially desired to manifest its consciousness and spiritual wisdom. But after Yu Yuan forged the Soul Altar, it had acquired the strength to oppose it. Now, to descend upon Yu Yuan, it required his consent; without it, the feat would be unattainable.

With the impending disaster looming, the only solution it could conceive was to manifest its spiritual sense within Yu Yuan's eleventh-level Solar Spirit. By taking control of that supreme corporeal body, it could wield power beyond that of the Titan Spinosaurus to halt the descent of the Wellspring of Creation.

It persistently implored, seeking Yu Yuan's agreement, yearning for their union.

Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, resting against the Dragon Slaying Stage, clearly heard its entreaties. Yu Yuan's real body was also acutely aware of its plea to descend, hoping to use its will to alter the dire circumstances.

Its aim was to stop the Wellspring of Creation from plummeting into the Genesis Continent and to prevent the land formed from colossal skeletal remains from becoming animate.

With a hiss, a memory sealed for eons within Yu Yuan's mind was triggered by the vision of the Wellspring of Creation's descent. He began to remember fragments of the past.

Beneath the veil of darkness lay innumerable remains of colossal creatures. The desolation of the Abyss of Truth and the extinction of all life were attributed to the Genesis Continent, now a barren landscape of bones beneath the celestial fragments.

The colossal creatures of the Genesis Continent had been corrupted by the Primal Soul, their madness leading to the world's destruction.

"Descend..."

Yu Yuan's brow furrowed as he intently watched the Wellspring of Creation draw nearer to the vast crater on the land, his fragmented memories coalescing.

He gave a slight nod.

His eleventh-level Solar Spirit nodded in unison.

His Soul Altar no longer shielded the spirituality of the Solar Spirit, nor did it prevent the penetration of external forces. He had chosen to open himself up to the high-level Primal Anima from the Primal Blood Continent.

Whoosh!

A blood-red beam, a fusion of will and spirituality, defied the boundaries of the void and streaked toward the Dragon Slaying Stage from the Primal Blood Continent.

As this resplendent blood-red light left the Primal Blood Continent, every sufficiently powerful living creature in the Dark Realm involuntarily felt their hearts cease.

In that moment, the hearts of the mighty stood still.

They all gazed at the dazzling blood-colored light as if beholding their creator, the deity of blood for their domain.

It was as though a deity had manifested!

In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored light had penetrated the Dragon Slaying Stage.

Inside the Dragon Slaying Stage's own realm.

Taishi's primordial spirit and Cao Jiaze's Lunar Spirit gazed up at the heavens in bewilderment.

As they constantly unleashed space magic, the firmament was awash with iridescent splendor and countless rainbows hung in the sky.

Suddenly, a striking blood-colored lightning bolt outshone all the rainbows and the myriad of colors.

Both Taishi and Cao Jiaze were shaken to their core, unsure of the nature of this phenomenon.

"Primal Blood!"

Taishi was the first to comprehend.

"The spiritual sense of the Primal Blood has penetrated the Dragon Slaying Stage from the outside. What is its purpose? Is it intending to forge a new realm of life within the Dragon Slaying Stage, to nurture..."

Taishi's exclamation was abruptly cut off.

For the conspicuous blood light had merely used the Dragon Slaying Stage as a waypoint, and before he could finish speaking, it had already departed.
