C2183 It Was Prepared
It gazed at the mass of flesh and blood with intense concentration.
The delicate blood-colored lightning in Yuan Le's eyes became increasingly dense as his spiritual awareness descended.
Around the summit of the Peak of Creation, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Thick, serpentine blood-colored lightning, embodying the Bloodline Revelation of numerous Beast Gods from the Wasteland, was vividly displayed in the form of lightning.
Within the Star of Light, the Light Spirit, having taken the form of a little girl, playfully stuck out her tongue before dutifully retreating into the heart of the mountain.
The stars encircling the Peak of Creation, manipulated by the Beast Gods perched above, distanced themselves from this majestic and enigmatic peak.
The Primal Anima and the Beast Gods had an inkling of what it intended to do.
Its standing in the Wasteland was on par with that of the Primal Soul born in the Abyss.
When it manifested and exerted its power, both the Beast Gods and the Primal Anima of this realm opted to withdraw.
Chi! Chi!
The blood-colored lightning, infused with the Secrets of Life, sent ripples through Yu Yuan's consciousness. He sensed that the blood-colored lightning was within his grasp, ready to be drawn into his Solar Spirit Body.
A peculiar smile crossed his lips as he said, "I appreciate your understanding."
He assumed that the Primal Blood of this world had been convinced to join forces against the mightiest Primal Anima, intending to share its understanding of the Secrets of Life and imprint it onto his Solar Spirit Body.
Should this happen, he might gain insight into the ancient blood truths hidden within the enigmatic mass of flesh and blood.
In his Mindscape, the Life Seeds within the Soul Altar were poised to be deciphered, potentially revealing the treasures left by the Primal Blood of the Abyss.
"I intend to give it a try myself."
The words came forth from Yuan Le's body.
Whoosh!
A stream of vital energy burst from the crown of Yuan Le's head.
The vital energy briefly hovered before transforming into a visible blood-red cascade, plummeting directly towards Yu Yuan's crown.
The Peak of Creation trembled fiercely.
The thick blood-red lightning that filled the summit's void writhed like dragons and serpents, unleashing boundless divine might and resonating with its source deep within the mountain.
Yu Yuan gazed skyward at the approaching blood-red waterfall, his expression serene.
The nascent bloodline power within his Solar Spirit Body was thrown into chaos by the tremors of the Peak of Creation and the bloodline rules at the mountain's summit.
He let out a stifled groan as the blood-red waterfall shifted from Yuan Le's body into his own.
"Rather than bestowing the Secrets of Life upon you, I'd prefer to strip them away. They will be etched into the mysteries of life in your supreme body. My assimilation and integration will surely be swifter than yours. To confront the mightiest Primal Anima, it takes one of my kind; you lack such strength."
Its spiritual sense echoed in Yu Yuan's brain, utterly devoid of emotion.
Sekou remained silent, as still as the Uxthar Tree, with the Beast Gods around him hushed.
At that moment, Yu Yuan's spiritual sense transformed into a tumultuous blood-red ocean within the expansive, blood-colored Otherworld of his Mindscape.
Countless red crystals, exuding the essence of life, coalesced in vast numbers in the depths of the sea, seemingly intent on filling Yu Yuan's brain.
The red crystals shone with a flawless radiance in the midst of the blood-colored sea.
Yu Yuan's head throbbed with pain.
He sensed an alien consciousness on the verge of inundating his mind, poised to supplant his own thoughts.
Blood-colored lightning streaked from his brain, each bolt a spiritual tendril of the world's Primal Blood, seeking to erase his thoughts and consume the accumulated Secrets of Life and Bloodline Revelations within him over many years.
"Before I ventured into the Wasteland, I had contemplated the direst of circumstances."
Yu Yuan's resonant voice filled his mind.
Above the Wellspring of Creation, the pristine vital energy and the Cosmic Order within his ruby-like Solar Spirit began to mutate.
His left arm, enshrouded in cold fog, saw the vital energy in his crystalline bones morph into a frigid ice dragon, segmenting into icy peaks.
This limb was encased in a dense rock wall, where the ultimate ice energy of the universe, laced with ice magic, ran rampant.
His right arm was enveloped in bolts of lightning, with the vital energy, meridians, and bones suffused with the Thunder Spirit's Cosmic Order.
Deep within his mind, above the vast blood-colored sea, a radiant azure realm emerged.
Within this azure expanse, a ghostly seven-tiered Soul Altar materialized, fortifying his resolve and shielding his core from the encroaching consciousness of the Primal Blood.
He pressed his palms against his temples, feeling the ultimate chill and the most fearsome lightning and thunder penetrate his brain from both sides.
Within the realm of his Solar Spirit's brain, the intense coldness transformed into crystalline ice blades, while the lightning solidified into a divine pillar capable of shattering the heavens and the earth. Together, they surged towards the Primal Blood of this realm, and the blood-red sea formed by his spiritual sense.
"The Primal Blood that created me and granted me a complete life sequence requires my consent to merge with my Solar Spirit Body."
"And it must be under my command."
Crack! Boom! Boom!
A multitude of keen ice blades stabbed at the blood-red sea, and the light columns, crafted by the thunder balls, exploded within it.
The sea was riddled with holes as numerous blood crystals burst, their blood-colored lightning crushed by the authentic power of thunder.
"Long ago, when I was in the Abyss, no Primal Soul could possess me. After my rebirth and the construction of my Soul Altar, I possessed an absolute sense of self. You think I ventured into the Wasteland alone without considering that you might strike at me?"
Yu Yuan's voice, as mighty as a thunderclap, echoed from the ethereal Soul Altar suspended in the heavens of his brain.
Having recalled the method to create the Soul Altar, he was well-prepared to counter the Primal Anima's attempt at possession.
As the Solar Spirit and the real body could interact, each new layer and imprint of the ultimate Cosmic Order on the Soul Altar within the Mindscape of the real body was also acquired by the Solar Spirit.
Yet, without the Soul Altar's presence, the Solar Spirit could not fully unleash the might of these supreme Cosmic Orders.
While the Solar Spirit's manifestation of the Cosmic Order was not as potent as the real body's, it was fortunate that the Solar Spirit, embodying a myriad of Great Dao, could still unleash remarkable power.
Boom!
In his brain, the spiritual sense of the Primal Blood, which had taken the form of a blood-red sea, was swiftly erased from his mind.
Blood-red smoke billowed from his ears, vanishing into the air shortly after.
Yuan Le's Blood Clone, quite inexplicably, dissolved into a puddle of blood that seeped into the earth beneath the Peak of Creation.
Atop the mountain peak, thick blood-colored lightning still crackled.
The blood-colored lightning, which had been descending slowly as if to inscribe a mysterious seal, struck Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body and merged into him.
However, when Yuan Le dissolved into a pool of blood and blood-colored smoke billowed from Yu Yuan's ears, the oppressive descent of the lightning came to an abrupt halt.
Yu Yuan had extinguished its spiritual sense within his Solar Spirit Body, an outcome that had clearly taken it by surprise.
At this moment, it was Yu Yuan's own consciousness that inhabited his body, not the entity that had attempted to take possession of him.
Now, as the Secrets of Life were imprinted into Yu Yuan, they would be consumed and refined by him upon entry.
"Earth!"
The deep and irritable voice echoed from the earth's deepest depths, audible only to Primal Animas like itself.
Mother Earth, inhabiting Sekou, felt the voice and abruptly stomped her foot.
Boom!
The land housing the Wellspring of Creation plummeted into the depths of the earth.
The earth's collapse, along with the surge of gravity, made it impossible for the Wellspring of Creation to break free and ascend.
While the Wellspring of Creation remained grounded, Yu Yuan, who had been standing at its edge, soared into the air.
He withstood the gravitational force, magnified a millionfold, and forcefully detached himself from the Wellspring of Creation. A glimmer of green light dissipated from his eyes as his form transformed into a pale green leaf, drifting toward the Uxthar Tree.
Utilizing the cosmic order granted by the plant spirit, he converted the life essence of his Solar Spirit and established a connection with the Uxthar Tree's branches.
Perched on the trunk, he frowned at the sinking Wellspring of Creation and reached into the void with both hands.
The thick, oppressive blood-colored lightning responded to his now blood-red arms. The lightning, imbued with the Secrets of Life, seemed to coil around his limbs and streak toward his Solar Spirit.
The blood-colored lightning, serpentine like a blood dragon, was forcibly drawn into his body.
"If you will not yield it, then I shall take it myself," Yu Yuan declared with a cold huff.
