C2233 The Appearance of the Blazing Flame(1)
Loong Jie and Green Willow, summoned by Yu Yuan, exchanged puzzled glances, unable to grasp the situation immediately.
Zhong Chichen, with his striking elegance, had his jewel-like eyes sparkle. As Loong Jie and Green Willow stood dumbfounded, the Seven-Colored Dragon exclaimed, "My dear junior brother! Is there even a sliver of a chance for me?"
His face, alight with eagerness, fell as Yu Yuan shook his head, extinguishing his hope.
"Of course, I've never encountered Primal Anima related to time and space. Not a single mention in the records of the Abyss, the Wasteland, or the Origin Realm," Zhong Chichen murmured dejectedly, abandoning any illusions about the future.
"Are you for real?"
Bertain's bizarre cry echoed from the devil souls within each amethyst, his thousands of phantom images peering at Yu Yuan.
The amethysts, arrayed in the void, generated a new pulling force.
Blazing Fire grunted, "It's futile."
The armor, having changed hands and been consecrated by the Origin Realm's mightiest, had its last hidden soul threads incinerated by the celestial inferno.
Blazing Fire reemerged from the tumultuous inferno.
Through the clear barrier, his Fire Crystal-like eyes glinted intensely, fixating on Yuan Lianyao who had not entered with Yu Yuan.
Yuan Lianyao, featured in the Book of Time, had been watching the fiery hideout intently. Seeing him reveal himself, she offered a radiant smile.
From a distance, Yuan Lianyao gracefully curtsied, her face blooming with undisguised scorn.
"Thank you for nurturing and shaping me. It's thanks to the fire magic you granted that I've ascended to a supreme being of the eleventh level in this Wasteland, which suits me perfectly."
"And another thing..."
Her lips curled into an even more splendid smile. "I must also thank you for the spiritual sense you generously provided recently. I apologize for not complying and letting you seize my supreme body."
"Hehe."
The laughter that followed from Yuan Lianyao was filled with triumphant delight.
With a surge, the sea of fire where Blazing Fire dwelled boiled over, his fury stoked by Yuan Lianyao's demeanor. Inside the All Spirits Ban, he mustered his strength, drawing a portion of the fiery halo behind the Primal Soul into the sea of fire around him.
Astonishing flames surged, intertwining with the Cosmic Order within a sea of fire. This was the most intense flame in existence, roaring like thunder, seeking flame energy and spiritual sense from the Heart of the Everlands. Soon, a true sea of flames emerged from its wrath.
"I will reclaim what I have given!"
Deep within the tumultuous sea of fire, the Blazing Fire stared down Yuan Lianyao, declaring, "With Her aid, I will possess a real flesh and blood body, akin to Mother Earth. I will use your body to sire new offspring of the Fire Demon!"
Yuan Lianyao's triumphant smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a flicker of fear deep within her heart.
"Just you?" Yu Yuan sneered menacingly.
At the center of his brow, a Soul Altar began to emerge, its forefront resembling a crimson eye, locked onto the Blazing Fire.
"He lacks the power to craft you a body of flesh and blood. You're destined to remain a spirit body!"
The Soul Altar gradually revealed a layer of glistening ice, emitting a frigid light. The coldest rule in the world was infinitely amplified by Yu Yuan's Soul Altar!
For a moment, his eight-layered Soul Altar seemed to transform into a single block of ice.
This ice crystal beamed onto the sea of fire where the Blazing Fire raged, swiftly extinguishing much of the inferno.
The armor worn by the Blazing Fire was no match for the encroaching extreme cold. Its spiritual sense, huddled within, and the increasingly distinct image of its spirit body, became as faint as a dissipating breeze.
"Retreat! Back to the Everlands!"
The mightiest Primal Anima exclaimed in alarm, reaching out to grasp and pull, shoving the spiritual sense of the Blazing Fire back into the Heart of the Everlands to which it was connected.
After this, it turned a frosty gaze upon Yu Yuan's wondrous Soul Altar.
At this moment, the highest tier of the Soul Altar was a table of red crystal. Below it, the emerald table corresponding with Spirit Magic was being suppressed!
He felt an immense sense of humiliation.
He was the strongest Primal Anima across the Three Realms, and Yu Yuan was his creation, the supreme being, the most formidable weapon of which he was immensely proud.
The Soul Altar that Yu Yuan had crafted was designed to contend with his own Soul Altar. The tier associated with him had always been at the very top!
Being at the top signified that his mastery of Mind Magic was the most dominant!
Yet now, the Soulstone Pedestal corresponding to Yu Yuan was being suppressed by a Blood Jade Pedestal, forged from the force of life!
This gave him the impression that the Path of the Soul he wielded was being overshadowed by the Primal Blood from both the Origin Realm and the Wasteland, as if he were somehow less significant than those two realms.
He could not stand the fact that his eight-tiered Soul Altar had been provoked in an instant.
"Don't come to the Heart of the Everlands just yet. I need to handle things here first."
His remnant soul slipped into the ring of flames behind him.
"Understood."
The Heart of the Everlands suppressed its anger and consented.
Whoosh!
The eight-tiered Soul Altar gradually emerged from Yu Yuan's forehead and positioned itself above his head.
Beneath the dark azure sky, he gazed angrily at the red crystal at the highest level, observing the Tree of Life rooted within the pedestal as it continued to flourish.
He then appeared to ponder something deeply.
"I knew you would come."
In that moment, Bertain's thousands of devil souls laughed from within various amethysts.
His shattered demonform, reassembling with a smile, came together seamlessly in the blink of an eye.
The big devil looked up at the towering Soul Altar and inquired, "Can this structure stand against the seal?"
As soon as the Soul Altar materialized above Yu Yuan's head, Bertain acutely felt that several Profound Meanings within the All Spirits Ban were being constrained by it.
The elements of earth, ice, lightning, and vegetation, along with the All Spirits Ban, shared a Cosmic Order with Yu Yuan's Soul Altar. The potency of this order seemed to diminish instantly.
Despite the reduction in strength, the All Spirits Ban's power was still formidable, yet new vulnerabilities began to emerge!
"We'll need some additional forces."
Yu Yuan chuckled and once again extended an invitation to Loong Jie and Green Willow beyond the realm, "What are you two waiting for? The Golden Spirit and Water Spirit you've been so desperately seeking may not even exist in this era. If you aspire to ascend to supremacy, you must acquire the complete sequences of those two Primal Animas."
"It's quite fortuitous that within the All Spirits Ban, the full mysteries of both the Golden Spirit and Water Spirit are present."
Yu Yuan gestured with a wave of his hand, speaking with impatience, "Hurry up!"
Loong Jie licked his lips and continuously rubbed his hands together as he paced around the Book of Time. "Rainbow Sage, should I venture inside? As soon as the white boa god entered, it was dissolved by the flesh it was drawn into. I..."
His longing for the true essence of gold was evident to anyone who saw him.
Yet, he feared death.
