C2119 The Unchanging Original Intention

Beneath the Solar Spirit, at the heart of the blood-red expanse, lay the Divine Artifact known as the Dragon Slaying Stage. The breach between the Dark Realm and the World of Darkness sealed itself in an instant as the Primal Blood, carrying its spiritual sense, crossed the Dragon Slaying Stage. The crystalline wall once again isolated the two worlds, barring any infiltration of darkness.

Yu Yuan experienced an indescribable profundity at that moment. The spiritual sense of the Primal Blood suffused his every limb and bone, seemingly integrating with his being. Each rule of the Secrets of Life, every Life Seed, and all the bloodline mysteries within him seemed to awaken instantaneously with the intelligence of the Primal Blood. This "awakening" was an endless vitality, the pinnacle state of the Secrets of Life, capable of manifesting miraculous powers at will.

He felt as though he was the creator of the Origin Realm, the origin of all beings' bloodlines, and the enforcer of the Laws of Life. He was the manifestation of the Dao, the sovereign of the Heavenly Dao of Life, the patriarch of all beings in the Origin Realm.

Yu Yuan's own consciousness, his sense of self, remained firmly in control of his body. It was not overwhelmed by the descent of the Primal Blood, nor was it diminished in the slightest.

Whoosh!

Blood-colored ripples emanated from his Solar Spirit's brain, his soulspark omnipresent. Within the depths of these ripples was the projection of a blood crystal, the Soul Altar of his true self. The altar's surface, corresponding with the Primal Blood, bore the engravings of the Secrets of Life, its influence mirrored in the Solar Spirit. This ensured he would always remember that he was Yu Yuan, not the Primal Blood.

The existence of the Soul Altar, with its profound and vast Life Seeds embedded within the blood crystal, placed him on equal footing with the Primal Blood. They were peers.

Huala!

Inside his body, countless crimson meridians expanded a thousandfold, transforming into a cascading blood-red waterfall. This was the refined essence of the Secrets of Life. And his organs, magnified a million times, resembled towering ranges of blood crystals, shrouded in thick mists of blood. Within these ranges lurked the giant beasts that had once reigned over the Origin Realm, alongside the supreme beings of various races, their essence reborn from the blood crystals.

Within the depths of his acupoints, there lay innumerable Crimson Realms brimming with an inexhaustible supply of vital energy. These realms resonated with both the Primal Blood Continent in the Dark Realm and his Soul Altar, granting him access to what seemed like an endless well of vital energy. The embodiment of the Primal Blood's spiritual sense ensured that the Blood of Heaven and Earth within the heart of the Primal Blood Continent remained tightly connected. He could draw upon the immeasurable vital energy that the Primal Blood had accumulated over billions of years.

The pristine wall served only to separate the darkness and the Soul Power contaminated with dark energy. For his Solar Spirit and the consciousness of the Primal Blood, it naturally swung open the gates of convenience. Thunderous booms echoed as the unleashed vital energy erupted at the edges of the blood-colored expanse, unleashing a storm capable of ravaging the heavens and the earth. Mushroom clouds of crimson dispersed the dark energy far and wide, tearing the fabric of rules and twisting the void relentlessly.

The activation of the Primal Soul's power caused blades forged from pure Soul Power to shatter under the onslaught of vital energy. In unseen darkness, countless rules and bolts of lightning clashed and obliterated each other. As the old cosmic order faded, a new one emerged to continue its assault on the fringes of the blood-colored expanse.

With each shattering of the blood-colored pillars upholding the Wellspring of Creation, another swiftly rose to take its place, steadfastly preventing the Wellspring from descending into oblivion.

Two Yu Yuans existed: one in the heavens and another within the blood-colored curtain. One looked down while the other gazed upward, both bearing witness and conveying the unfolding events to Him. He remained silent, yet in a moment of revelation, He grasped the full extent of what had transpired.

After millions of years, the Yu Yuan He had crafted with His own hands had at last brought His vision and ideas to fruition. Commanding the Primal Anima, Yu Yuan transformed it into his own force, fashioning it into his personal Divine Artifact to aid in battle. Yu Yuan's will and control had triumphed, asserting dominance over the Primal Anima that he had once sought to embody.

In the beginning, Yu Yuan's ambition was to forge the Soul Altar with the intent to merge with the authority of the Primal Anima. His primary goal was to harness the Primal Anima through the Soul Altar, making it a tool for his own use.

Yu Yuan had not bound the entity, and their relationship could only be described as one of equals, mutually beneficial to both parties.

Years later, as the Primal Blood in the Wasteland descended with its spiritual consciousness, Yu Yuan's Soul Altar began to take shape. The emergence of numerous Life Seeds from the Abyss of Truth within the blood crystal layer led to another transformation in Yu Yuan.

With his real body and the Soul Altar, Yu Yuan was able to maintain a firm grip on his Solar Spirit.

And thus, he controlled the Primal Blood.

"Return to the Dark Realm first."

A majestic and elusive divine voice echoed in Chen Qinghuang's mind, as if an oracle had been delivered by a supreme deity.

The Voice of the Heavens resonated unceasingly.

The remnants of dark energy in Chen Qinghuang's mind were obliterated.

She was utterly liberated, gaining true freedom. The power that was hers, along with the vital energy Yu Yuan had infused into her, erupted within her, filling her with boundless vitality and vigor.

She was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly enlightened.

With the descent of the Primal Blood's spiritual consciousness, Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body could utilize the accumulated flesh and blood of the Primal Blood that had been stored for eons.

Previously, Yu Yuan had to appease the Primal Blood, collecting Life Seeds from various races to serve it tirelessly.

Only by serving first would he be granted life dew and the powerful surge of life essence.

Now, after the infusion of the Primal Blood's spiritual consciousness, Yu Yuan no longer needed the Primal Blood's consent to access that portion of life force.

He had given a share to himself.

Chen Qinghuang felt moved, her gaze settling on him as she inquired in her mind, "And you?"

"I'm alright. I'll manage to get out safely. With you in the Dark Realm or any other place, you'll be able to confront Tan Xiaotian, even if he's possessed by darkness."

"But not here. Here, you would... distract me."

Yu Yuan clarified.

Chen Qinghuang grasped his meaning.

If she remained in this World of Darkness, under the control of the enemy's domain, she would be an easy target for the Dark Anima or the Primal Soul of the Abyss.

Elsewhere, even if darkness possessed Tan Xiaotian, she could exert a restraining force with the full display of her power.

"The barrier has been established."

She murmured silently within her mind.

"I am the one who forged the barrier."

Yu Yuan's inner voice resonated once more.

Suddenly, a blood-hued radiance brimming with the mysteries of the void transformed into the Divine Bridge, unfolding beneath Chen Qinghuang's feet.

Whoosh!

The Divine Bridge stretched out towards the Dark Realm, swiftly crossing through space, teleporting repeatedly.

The blood light that formed the Divine Bridge effortlessly penetrated the crystalline barrier without any resistance.

Yu Yuan effortlessly transported Chen Qinghuang back to the Dark Realm.

The barrier, woven from the ice force and rules of the Eternal Alliance, allowed the Divine Bridge, infused with the unique traits of Primal Blood, to pass through unimpeded.

In a flash, Chen Qinghuang had returned from the boundless World of Darkness.

At this moment, due to the reformation of the barrier and the concealed dark magic, the Dark Realm, previously rent by Yu Yuan's light energy, began to brighten.

From this point forward, the Dark Realm was reborn as the Frostlands.

"Your Majesty!"

"What's the situation over there?"

"What have you witnessed?"

Once the breach was sealed, those within the Frostlands could no longer sense even the faintest trace of the blood's terrifying pull.

Zhong Chichen, Taixu, and the little spinosaurus, now emboldened, ventured forth from the Primal Blood Continent, gazing at Chen Qinghuang from a distance.

Their spiritual sense and voices, propelled by Zhong Chichen's space magic, reached her.

Zhong Chichen's eyes, shimmering with a rainbow's spectrum, locked onto Chen Qinghuang, and he exclaimed, "Such potent life essence! It's capable of condensing a Life Keychain, bestowing eternal life!"

The Secular Bird Queen, a cosmic giant beast by nature, was already immortal.

She had no need for the Life Keychain. After a moment's hesitation, she chose not to integrate the life essence gifted by Yu Yuan into the secular bird.

Instead, she submerged it into her chest, allowing it to descend into the vitality-rich little world known as the Profound Gate, to nourish her real body.
