C2123 The Dark Chariot
Whoosh!
Frost Energy swirled into Yu Yuan's sea of consciousness like a mist, converging and flowing toward the towering Soul Altar.
Below the blood-colored prisma, a platform appeared as if constructed from ice crystals and jade, emanating a bright, purifying force that cleansed the impurities from his mind.
The formation of this ice crystal platform rendered Yu Yuan's spirit clear and his heart as steadfast as ice.
In the depths of his mind, a myriad of distracting, malevolent, and sinister thoughts seemed to shatter and dissipate with the platform's emergence.
The platform, forged from the bitter cold, had not yet revealed its full might but had already solidified his resolve in the Great Dao.
"Marvelous!"
A smile spread across his face.
At that moment, with the Soul Altar resonating with the Origin Soul, Origin Blood, and Origin Soul, and a stage composed of lightning, vegetation, and light, a multitude of intricate laws intermingled, occasionally overwhelming his senses.
The synergy between his physical form and the Yang God, the exchange of memories and wisdom, also provoked stray thoughts.
However, once the ice crystal platform was established, the various doubts that once unsettled his Dao heart were now effectively reined in.
In this state, his self-determination grew ever more resolute. The Origin Soul inhabiting his Undead Sovereign form, seeking to employ its profound and enigmatic soul power to disrupt his composure, would find it no simple task.
Perhaps the Origin Soul that had permitted the addition of another layer to the Soul Altar, transforming it from six levels to seven, was unaware of the ice crystal platform's additional purpose.
Swoosh!
Yu Yuan's Yang God form soared from beneath the blood-red expanse, gracefully alighting in a corner of the Creation Pool.
As the Darkness Origin Spirit, inhabiting Tan Xiaotian, attempted to draw near, Yu Yuan raised his hand and struck, engulfing it in a deluge of scarlet.
With every step he took, the blood-red light spread, the densest dark energies unable to quench the luminous blood light that Yu Yuan manifested.
The Darkness Origin Spirit within Tan Xiaotian found itself dragged into a blood-hued Alien Realm within Yu Yuan's domain.
The sight before him was a tapestry of life's Heavenly Dao, filled with dense lightning arcs transforming into Bloodline Crystal Chains within living beings, sparking and interacting to unleash their mystical essence.
The Bloodline Crystal Chains that had enveloped Tan Xiaotian's body began to writhe uncontrollably, causing his internal organs to shift out of place. It was as if the small universe within him had been breached.
Whoosh!
Tan Xiaotian's Mystic Gate Acupoints slowly assimilated with the blood-red Alien Realm, alerting him to the dire situation.
"Tan Xiaotian, you're no match for my Yang God, nor can you compare to the Origin Blood coursing through me. Even this Darkness World of yours..." Yu Yuan bellowed with laughter, proclaiming, "It will be overwhelmed by my boundless blood energy!"
Rip!
The blood-colored curtain below spread infinitely, fueled by the energy siphoned from the Origin Blood Continent.
It enveloped the vast Creation Land, surpassing even the Tia Main Planet and the uppermost reaches of the abyss. Numerous laws of life and bloodlines relentlessly ground down the forces of darkness.
Darkness is not infinite.
Through the colossal Life Seeds, Yu Yuan glimpsed the true Abyss below, where shattered celestial bodies lay—a world bathed in light.
This revealed that the domain under the Darkness Origin Spirit's control was not as vast as he had presumed.
After all, the entity was merely a mid-level origin spirit.
With this realization, Yu Yuan knew that by flooding this dark domain with his overwhelming blood energy, he could invade, compress its borders, and shatter its dark laws, inflicting severe damage upon it.
The conflict between origin spirits could indeed be this straightforward and brutal.
The Dragon Slash Platform, now stained with blood and clinging to the Creation Pool, acted like a magnet, drawing the pool to itself.
Yu Yuan glanced at the Abyss Origin Soul and offered a sly smile, "Since you struggle to decipher the multitude of Life Seeds within this mass of flesh, I shall absorb them. If you wish for me to unravel and grasp the essence of the fallen Origin Blood, surely there must be a price to pay, correct?"
"Rise!"
He lifted his arm and bellowed the command.
A torrent of blood light erupted from the Dragon Slash Platform, adhering to the Creation Pool like adhesive, dragging the vessel bearing the mass of flesh toward the Cold Domain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The blood-colored streamers that braced the Creation Pool, in conjunction with his explosive force, created an upward thrust.
The fragmented blood-colored streamers transformed into clusters of blood-red clouds, buoying the Creation Pool. Together with the Dragon Slash Platform, they propelled it toward the Cold Domain.
Yu Yuan not only absorbed the enigmatic Life Seeds but also sought to plunder the flesh and blood within the Creation Pool.
The immense energy within this flesh and blood could give rise to nearly a hundred eternal Beast Gods, far surpassing the might of ordinary Beast Gods.
In the vast Desolate Realm, the number of eternal Beast Gods could be counted on one hand.
The potency of this flesh and blood even exceeded that of the Origin Blood Continent.
Yu Yuan felt strongly that if he could decipher the secrets of the Life Seeds and grasp the essence of life they held, he would be able to refine and assimilate all the energy within the flesh and blood.
Whether for transformation into a Yang God or for other uses, the potential was boundless.
In any case, he could not allow the Origin Soul to embed it into the chasm of Creation Land, to become the heart of the continent below, nor could he let the Creation Continent break free from the darkness to encroach upon other celestial worlds.
"Darkness!"
The Darkness Origin Spirit inhabiting Tan Xiaotian howled within the blood-colored realm.
The ruined world below, known to them as the true abyss, had a concealed area pried open, awakening an ancient power that had lain dormant, suddenly erupting from the earth.
Crack, crack!
The pitch-black earth shattered, revealing a colossal war chariot forged in black and gold, drawn by a massive bat reduced to mere skin and bones.
Six gargantuan bats, each tens of millions of feet in length, were arrayed in three rows.
The vast war chariot bore tattered black and gold banners that waved ominously, casting a sinister and malevolent presence across the heavens.
The banners, tattered and torn, featured holes that appeared to be gateways to a dark inferno.
The enormous war chariot, summoned by the Darkness Origin Spirit, soared out from the true abyss.
The chariot, the six Darkness Bats, and the ragged banner all seemed to be relics of his ancient rituals.
Having been in a deep slumber without a new host to possess, these artifacts had remained buried in the destroyed world, unused until now.
Pressed into urgency by Yu Yuan, he now called upon the chariot for his purpose.
Boom!
He, within Tan Xiaotian, tore free from the blood-colored Alien Realm and alighted upon the war chariot.
Tan Xiaotian summoned his divine form, transforming into an ancient and majestic Demon God. Using his own body, he took control of the ancient Black Demon God War Chariot beneath him.
In that moment, Tan Xiaotian's divine form appeared more ethereal, its soul's essence seamlessly integrated with the war chariot.
The Demonic Marks etched on the chariot were activated in succession, as if demons were stirring, ready to awaken and hunt down all creatures.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He grasped the armrest of the war chariot, drawing in a vast expanse of dark energy and continuously channeling it into the chariot.
Suddenly, a host of unknown dark demons burst forth from the mouths of six Darkness Bats.
These demons, existing solely as spirits without flesh, surged toward the expansive blood-colored curtain.
One bloody world after another fell prey to the invading dark demons. The six Darkness Bats then took flight, detaching from the chariot and plunging into the depths of the blood-colored curtain.
Within the curtain, massive life forms were engulfed by darkness, their very laws of existence severed.
The colossal Darkness Bats, within the blood-transformed realm, became invincible deities of the dark, slaughtering beings manifested by the source blood and Yu Yuan.
On the chariot, a tattered flag with gaping holes fluttered towards Yang God Yu.
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes for a closer look.
Boom!
It wasn't just his Yang God that was affected; the consciousness and spirit of the source blood within were being drawn into the dark void of the flag.
The spirit of the source blood within his Yang God became timid, fearing the dark abyss within the flag.
The formidable power that could be exhibited by the fusion of the source blood and Yang God Yu Yuan was significantly diminished as the spirit of the source blood recoiled.
"You actually possess such a sinister relic," Yu Yuan remarked with intrigue. His blood-red Yang God was soon covered from the corners of his eyes to his face, then his neck, and eventually his entire body with a thin layer of ice crystals.
He wielded this Frost Energy to counteract the relentless pull from the dark void within the flag, which sought to ensnare the spirit of the source blood.
"You should be well aware of what I possess," the entity inhabiting Tan Xiaotian retorted with a cold sneer, his gaze turning mischievous.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above him, shadowy Evil Gods materialized one after another, as though they were treading upon a darkened sky.
In the depths of the abyss, there once dwelled a Dark Evil God who gained strength from my power. I had possessed this Dark Evil God and took part in an attempt on your life. Have you truly forgotten?"
He revealed a tale long forgotten.
