C2222 The Primal Anima's Consciousness Was Destroyed
Within the last layer of the seal, the manifestation of His spiritual nature had overwhelmed Yu Yuan, Bertain, Lin Daoke, and Dark Phoenix Zhiya. Their souls were suppressed, plunging them into a state of disarray.
In His domain, these four formidable beings from different realms were powerless against His soul's imprisonment.
His gaze pierced through the luminous barrier, settling on Mother Earth. "What about you?" His spiritual sense reached Mother Earth's mind with crystal clarity.
"No one can defeat Him. You've already died once; don't be so defiant," the Light Spirit urged from within the star. "Let's face it, we're of the same essence. Why not just heed His words?"
"The same essence? Have you seen how many like us He has obliterated within the seal?" Mother Earth's face darkened as she gazed at the halos of light behind Him, as though witnessing the erasure of a Primal Anima akin to herself.
"I'm not sure if Yu Yuan can make it out, so I plan to leave now and keep my distance from you!" With a sweep of her hand, the Wellspring of Creation, previously stationed at the summit of the Peak of Creation, hurtled towards the purple demon energy sea crafted by the Dark Phoenix.
As for the Peak of Creation, it drifted away, encircled by a myriad of stars and a cascade of meteors, towards another expanse of the cosmos.
"You have yet to possess a suitable vessel. Without a physical form, your spiritual sense alone won't allow you to wield your full strength once you leave the seal. You may be invincible within it, but emerging now is futile!" Mother Earth declared, standing atop the Peak of Creation, her words laced with provocation as the mountain receded into the distance.
The Star of Light, hovering midair above the Peak of Creation, did not independently gravitate towards the Wellspring of Creation. Instead, it followed the mountain's trajectory, signaling that the Light Spirit and Mother Earth had, in fact, made the same decision. If they couldn't win, they would flee.
"Where do you think you can escape to?" He watched the Peak of Creation's departure from within the seal, His voice tinged with icy detachment. "The Origin Realm, the Abyss, the Wasteland—they will all be consumed by my power. The world is vast, yet it offers no refuge for you."
"There is one," Mother Earth retorted with a defiant hum.
Whoosh!
The Star of Light plummeted from the heavens, shrinking into the crevice at the base of the mountain. Yu Han paused, momentarily stunned, then followed the beckoning of Mother Earth's voice deep into the earth's bowels.
"We must head to the Creitecesh!"
Mother Earth's will echoed within the mountain, "Yu Yuan's true form resides there. Moreover, there are abnormal spatial tremors and an essence unlike that of the Wasteland seeping out. Should the Wasteland fall, we will seek refuge in that desolate realm, in hopes of finding a glimmer of survival!"
She had been driven to desperation, left with no option but to seek life in a land of death.
"You cannot escape."
The spiritual sense of the Primal Soul within the sealed area resonated across the region where the Peak of Creation soared.
The Wellspring of Creation made its way slowly toward the demon energy-rich purple sea beneath the Beast God Temple and Phoenix Shrine.
The movement of the pool caused the Beast God and the Dark Deity to pale with shock.
"Lord Astral Tiger!"
"Princess Yu Zhu, what shall we do?"
As the Wellspring of Creation neared the purple sea, the Beast Gods of the Wasteland could distinctly see the phantom image of the Primal Soul manifesting from the Abyss.
Panic set in.
The Wellspring of Creation harbored a terror so profound, its arrival's consequences were unknown to all.
They sought guidance from the Moonfang Tiger and Yu Zhu.
In Zhiya's absence, no one could stir the purple sea, not even the Beast God Temple.
"Allow the pool to descend!"
In this pivotal moment, Yu Zhu became the linchpin for the Beast Gods. Stepping in for the absent Dark Phoenix Zhiya, she declared, "The purple sea, consecrated by Mother, harbors a mystery even I cannot fathom. Remain calm, everyone. Should this pool dare to immerse itself, Mother might just find her way to freedom!"
Yu Zhu held immense faith in the purple sea.
"Very well!"
The Astral Tiger nodded emphatically, instructing the Beast Gods to stay close to the temple and clear a path for the Wellspring of Creation, permitting the pool's entry into the purple sea.
"So, it lies deep within your soul after all."
The Primal Soul, bound within the Abyss, had become aware of the Astral Tiger, Yu Zhu, the black goat, the Death Viper, and other Beast Gods, as Mother Earth had sent the Star of the Wellspring of Creation their way.
His gaze and focus abruptly settled on Yu Zhu.
Yu Zhu felt a sudden chill, as if his penetrating stare laid bare all her secrets.
Even the profound imprints within her soul, which she herself had yet to fully grasp, were exposed to his scrutiny.
"What an intriguing young lady. I hadn't noticed before that you carry an important soul mark he left behind."
The Primal Soul, from within the wall, observed from afar, its spiritual sense resonating in Yu Zhu's mind, "You've hidden it remarkably well, revealing it only after you shed your original essence and ascended to a higher state. It seems you were trying to elude me and escape the probing of my own essence."
Rip!
In front of the Phoenix Shrine, one of Yu Zhu's pupils suddenly ignited, her spiritual sense forcefully infused.
Yu Zhu's consciousness blurred.
She glimpsed, deep within her brain, a luminous green soul sea.
From the depths of this soul sea, numerous green crystals slowly surfaced, attracting the gaze of the invading spiritual sense.
These green crystals seemed to be her unique origin, previously unnoticed by her.
The arrival of this spiritual sense brought forth the green crystals hidden at the very bottom of the soul sea, unveiled by his power.
Whoosh!
His spiritual sense coalesced into a green-black silhouette deep within Yu Zhu's Mindscape.
This figure bore the likeness of Yu Yuan: tall, handsome, with an air of profound indifference.
As the embodiment of Yu Yuan's spiritual sense, he hovered above the green soul sea, intently observing the emerging green crystals, deep in thought.
A moment later, he reached out and touched one of the green crystals.
His hand submerged into the crystal, and the concealed soul mark and secrets within transformed into currents of electricity, flowing into his hand.
"This is indeed the very thing I've been searching for so long."
He murmured to himself within Yu Zhu's mind.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
Rivers of blood-yellow, seemingly carrying endless ghosts, stretched from the unknown, surging directly towards the figure formed by Yu Yuan's spiritual sense.
"Lunar Meridian tributary, Primal Vitality."
He let out a cold snort.
Boom!
The grand Phoenix Shrine, now reduced to a fraction of its size, shot into Yu Zhu's forehead and manifested within her Mindscape.
Majestic blood-yellow rivers encircled the actual Phoenix Shrine that had entered Yu Zhu's Mindscape from the external world!
Countless white, cyan, and dark green flickers of light, akin to the souls of beings from the three realms, wept within those blood-yellow rivers.
Their wailing shook heaven and earth, amplified a hundredfold by the Phoenix Shrine under the governance of Primal Vitality.
Yu Yuan's spiritual sense, which had taken the form of his likeness, dissipated into mist under the barrage of these mournful cries within Yu Zhu's Mindscape.
Yu Zhu's eyes suddenly cleared.
Simultaneously, in the Creitecesh Astral Domain.
A fiery streak of light, like a crimson bolt of lightning, pierced through Yuan Lianyao's crown and instantly entered her brain.
Deep within Yuan Lianyao's brain lay a massive Fire Crystal, imprinted with the essence of fire magic and the rules she had discerned.
As the lightning struck, it attempted to forcibly usurp the Fire Crystal and seal away Yuan Lianyao's self-awareness.
"I have been waiting for you for quite some time."
Yuan Lianyao materialized within the Fire Crystal, transforming into a diminutive deity of flames, engulfed in towering infernos, and seized the spiritual sense of the Blazing Flame.
The power to obliterate the Primal Anima's consciousness erupted from the deity's palm, snuffing out the fiery light bit by bit.
Before long, the separated spiritual sense of the Blazing Flame was extinguished within the primordial spirit by the flame deity.
