C2183 They Were Prepared for This

Its gaze was locked in an intense focus on the mass of flesh and blood.

The delicate blood-colored lightning in Yuen Bu's eyes, where spirituality had manifested, began to thicken from sparse to dense.

Around the summit of Creation Peak, lightning flashed and thunder boomed. Thick, serpentine blood-colored lightning, embodying the bloodline essence of numerous Beast Gods from the Desolate Realm, was vividly displayed in the form of lightning.

Within the Light Star, the Light Origin Spirit, which had taken the form of a little girl, playfully stuck out her tongue before dutifully retreating back into the mountain's interior.

The stars encircling Creation Peak were manipulated by the Beast Gods perched above, distancing themselves from the majestic and enigmatic peak.

Both the Origin Spirit and the Beast Gods had surmised its intentions.

Its standing in the Desolate Realm was now on par with that of the Origin Soul birthed from the Abyss, and in the Origin Realm, its status was equivalent.

When it made its presence known and exerted its power, all beings, Beast Gods and Origin Spirits alike, unanimously chose to withdraw.

Hiss! Hiss!

The blood-colored lightning, infused with the laws of life, stirred Yu Yuan's spirit. He felt as though the blood-colored lightning was within his grasp, ready to be drawn into his Yang God form.

A peculiar smile crept across his lips as he uttered, "Thank you for your understanding."

He believed that the Origin Blood of this realm had been convinced to join forces against the mightiest Origin Spirit, intending to bestow upon him a portion of its comprehension of the laws of life, to be imprinted onto his Yang God form.

Should this succeed, he might unlock the ancient blood truths concealed within that enigmatic mass of flesh and blood.

Within the Soul Altar of his consciousness, the massive Life Seeds also stood on the brink of being deciphered by him, potentially revealing the treasures left by the Abyss Origin Blood.

"I intend to give it a try myself."

With Yuen Bu's body, it suddenly spoke.

Whoosh!

A stream of blood essence burst forth from the crown of Yuen Bu's head.

The blood essence briefly hovered in midair, transforming into a visible blood-red cascade that surged directly towards the crown of Yang God Yu's head.

Creation Peak trembled fiercely.

The sprawling blood-red lightning across the mountaintop slithered like dragons and snakes, crackling with boundless celestial might, resonating with its source deep within the mountain.

Yu Yuan gazed upward at the sky, watching the blood-red cascade approach, his expression serene.

The nascent bloodline power within his Yang God's body became chaotic due to the tremors of Creation Peak and the bloodline laws at the summit.

He grunted as he witnessed the blood-red waterfall transfer from Yuen Bu's body into his own.

"Rather than bestowing the laws of life upon you, why shouldn't I strip them away? They will etch the life's secrets onto your supreme form. My assimilation and integration will undoubtedly be swifter than yours. To confront the mightiest Light Origin Spirit, it takes one of my kind. You lack such strength."

The consciousness of the tree resonated within Yu Yuan's mind, its presence detached and devoid of emotional fluctuation.

Sekou remained silent, as still as the Hannya Divine Tree, with the Beast Gods around him rendered speechless.

At that moment, within the expansive blood-colored expanse of the Alien Realm, the consciousness of the tree transformed into a tumultuous blood-red ocean.

Innumerable deep red crystals, exuding the essence of life, coalesced in the depths of the sea like fragmented thoughts, threatening to inundate Yu Yuan's mind.

The crimson crystals shone with an impeccable 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 overwhelming his mind, poised to supplant his own thoughts.

Scarlet lightning streaked from the blood-colored sea within his brain.

Each bolt of scarlet lightning represented the spiritual tendrils of the Abyss Origin Blood, seeking to erase his thoughts and consume the life laws that had accumulated within his Yang God over many years.

"Before venturing into the Desolate Realm, I had envisioned the direst circumstances," Yu Yuan's resonant voice echoed in his mind.

Hovering above the Creation Pool, his Yang God, as lustrous as a ruby, underwent a transformation as the pure essence of flesh and the Great Dao laws within his crystalline bones began to mutate.

His left arm, shrouded in a chilling mist, saw the flesh essence in his crystal bone solidify into an ice dragon, forming jagged ice peaks.

This limb was encased in a dense rock wall, where the ultimate cold of the universe, infused with the laws of extreme chill, ran rampant.

His right arm, on the other hand, was enveloped in bolts of lightning. The flesh essence within his body, the meridians in his arm, and the bones in his hand were all saturated with the Great Dao laws of the lightning's Origin Spirit.

Deep within his mind, above the vast blood-colored sea, a radiant azure realm suddenly emerged.

Within this azure expanse, a spectral seven-tiered Soul Altar materialized, aiding him in maintaining his resolve and warding off possession by the consciousness of the Origin Blood.

He pressed his palms against his temples.

The most intense cold and the most fearsome lightning and thunder infiltrated his mind from both sides. In the realm of his Yang God's mind, the bitter cold transformed into a translucent ice blade, while the thunder solidified into a column capable of shattering the heavens and earth, both surging toward the Abyss Origin Blood, and the consciousness of the Origin Soul manifested as a blood-red sea.

"The Abyss Origin Blood that created me and granted me a complete life sequence also requires my consent to merge with my Yang God form."

"And it must be on my terms."

Crack! Boom! Boom!

Numerous razor-sharp ice blades stabbed into the blood-red sea, and the light columns, forged by lightning and thunder, erupted within it.

The sea was riddled with holes as countless blood crystals shattered, and the blood-colored lightning was obliterated by the true force of thunder.

"Long ago, when I was in the seventh layer of the abyss, the Origin Souls there could no longer possess me. After my rebirth and the construction of the Soul Altar, I possessed absolute self-awareness. Did you really think I hadn't considered that you might strike at me when I ventured alone into the Desolate Realm?"

Yu Yuan's thunderous voice echoed from the ethereal Soul Altar in the heavens of his mind.

Having recalled the method to create the Soul Altar, Yu Yuan was well-prepared to resist the possession by the Origin Spirit.

As the Yang God and the true form could interact, the Soul Altar within the sea of consciousness of the true form would expand with each new layer and each imprint of the ultimate laws of the Great Dao, bestowing the Yang God with all its gains.

Yet, without the Soul Altar, the Yang God could not fully unleash the potential of these ultimate Great Dao laws.

While the Yang God's manifestation of other Great Dao laws might not match the true form's, it was still capable of unleashing formidable power, being a fusion of myriad Great Daos.

Boom!

The portion of the Abyss Origin Blood's consciousness within his mind, 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.

Yuen Bu's blood clone inexplicably dissolved into a puddle of blood, seeping into the earth beneath Creation Peak.

At the mountain's summit, thick blood-colored lightning still lingered.

The blood-colored lightning had been descending slowly, as if to imprint a mysterious mark upon Yu Yuan's Yang God form, merging with it. But when Yuen Bu dissolved into a pool of blood and blood-colored smoke billowed from Yu Yuan's ears, the oppressive blood-colored lightning abruptly halted. Its sentient consciousness, unexpectedly extinguished by Yu Yuan's Yang God, had clearly not anticipated this outcome.

At this moment, it was Yu Yuan's own consciousness that inhabited his body, not the entity that had attempted to take possession.

The Law of Life, now being imprinted, would be consumed and assimilated by Yu Yuan as soon as it entered his body.

"Mother Earth!"

His deep and irritable voice erupted from the earth's deepest depths, audible only to Origin Spirits like himself.

Upon hearing this voice, Mother Earth, who had taken over Sekou, suddenly stomped her foot.

Boom!

The land housing the Creation Pool plunged into the depths below.

The earth's collapse, coupled with the surge of gravity, ensured the Creation Pool could not break free from the earth's grasp and take flight.

While the Creation Pool remained grounded, Yu Yuan, standing at its edge, soared into the sky. He withstood a gravity field millions of times stronger than normal, forcefully separating himself from the Creation Pool. A glimmer of green light faded from his eyes as his form transformed into a pale green leaf, drifting towards the Hannya Divine Tree.

Harnessing the Law of Dao granted by the grass and wood Origin Spirit, he converted the Yang God's life essence and established a connection with the Hannya Divine Tree's branches.

Perched upon the trunk, he frowned at the sinking Creation Pool, reaching out with both hands into the void.

The thick blood-colored lightning, once pressing down, now responded to his blood-red arms. The lightning, imbued with the Law of Life, seemed to coil around his limbs, surging towards his Yang God.

The blood-colored lightning, serpentine like a dragon, was forcibly drawn into his body.

"If you refuse to give it, then I shall take it myself," Yu Yuan declared with a cold huff.
