C2261 The New Chapter

The rapid ascension of the Light Spirit confirmed a significant truth: Primal Anima with similar attributes could indeed be compatible with one another.

The assembly of mighty beings near the Spring of Death halted their thoughts, gazing in astonishment at the radiant woman from the Star of Light, absorbing the joyous news she shared.

Her inexplicable breakthrough was connected to Yu Yuan's real body!

Among the myriad Primal Anima, it was with Yu Yuan's assistance that she achieved the most incredible breakthrough without having to forge her own Divine Kingdom or carve out a domain in the Wasteland!

Her breakthrough was groundbreaking and unparalleled!

"So it is."

Yu Yuan, perched above the Phoenix Shrine, lingered without haste. Observing the transformation of the Light Spirit and sensing the stirrings within the Peak of Creation, he offered a smile and extended his felicitations, "My congratulations to you."

The revelation was clear: Primal Anima could merge!

This was evidenced by the Primal Soul of the Abyss swallowing the Primal Vitality of both the Everlands and the Wraithlands.

The Primal Blood from the Origin Realm and the Wasteland each sought to consume the other.

The sun, moon, and stars—these three Primal Anima that once shone brightly in the Abyss of Truth—were the original sources of light for the abyss.

Once their spiritual sense dissipated, the Cosmic Order's rules that lingered within the All Spirits Ban were discerned by their own bodies, manifesting corresponding magic arts that imprinted themselves onto the Light Spirit's surface in the form of celestial bodies.

This revelation directly impacted the true body of the Light Spirit.

As a result, the Light Spirit, previously unremarkable among its peers, was instantaneously elevated, becoming a being second only to the Primal Soul of the Abyss!

At this moment, the Light Spirit's rank had definitively surpassed that of Mother Earth.

The towering Peak of Creation, bolstered by the surge in the Light Spirit's power and the increase in its dominion, saw its inner rocks infused with overflowing light energy and rapidly crystallized.

Vast swathes of the mountain within the Peak of Creation transformed into luminous crystals.

These dazzling crystals, brimming with the essence of the Light Spirit, caused the Peak of Creation to tremble with a thunderous roar, signaling an internal transformation of energy.

The myriad forces at the mountain's summit, the cosmic energy of the Creitecesh, and the intricate powers within the mountain's core were all transmuted into light energy by the Light Spirit's breakthrough.

The immense energy of light had transformed the texture and form of the mountain rocks into crystals capable of storing light energy.

The City of Light's boundaries had naturally expanded significantly!

Mother Earth, the ruler of the Peak of Creation, suddenly had a profound realization: the power and wonder of this mountain peak would undergo a dramatic transformation due to the Light Spirit's rapid advancement.

However, her dominion over the Peak of Creation might no longer match that of the Light Spirit.

"Is it you? Have you brought about such a tremendous leap for him?"

Mother Earth maintained her noble and graceful demeanor, yet her beautiful face was etched with envy. "And what of me? I too have given you an additional platform, so why haven't I made a breakthrough?"

She couldn't resist questioning Yu Yuan.

"You are already a high-level Primal Anima, having grasped the true essence of the Primal Anima with the same attribute as yours in the Abyss of Truth," Yu Yuan explained.

The Uxthar Tree and the Light Spirit were initially trapped within the seal together. When the Uxthar Tree turned to ashes, Mother Earth and the Light Spirit were released one after the other.

Through an exchange, Mother Earth had accessed arcane powers previously beyond her reach, achieving a significant leap forward.

Yet she was clearly not content.

This was because the Light Spirit's breakthrough was evidently more substantial than her gains!

The Light Spirit, now able to be regarded as a source of light, had assimilated the profound mysteries of the three great Primal Anima of the sun, moon, and stars, allowing it to surpass her.

She had gained as well, but without merging with other source spirits, she naturally fell short of the Light Spirit.

"Don't be too greedy," Yu Yuan chided with a light snort.

...

In the Abyss of Truth.

The Tree of Life, which once obscured the heavens, now bore yellowed leaves due to the previous massive energy expenditure, and a significant amount of its rich plant essence had dissipated.

The Tree of Life and the Thunder Spirit communicated, closely monitoring the celestial anomalies with the same attentiveness as Qi Yunhong and Yu Yiyi.

Only a small fragment of the Genesis Continent remained visible within the seal, and there were no further mysterious disappearances of ghosts.

Suddenly.

In the part of the trunk hidden from Qi Yunhong and Yu Yiyi's view, numerous tender green branches sprouted. Vibrant with life, these slender branches harbored new ultimate truths of plant essence, revealing themselves within the burgeoning shoots.

Streams of unfamiliar knowledge flowed into the Tree of Life's branches, causing its vast leaves to sway gently.

Qi Yunhong and Yu Yiyi sensed its delight through the rustling foliage.

"What's happening?"

Qi Yunhong reached out to the Thunder Spirit.

"I've suddenly gained access to many exquisite aspects of plant life that were previously beyond my reach. Moreover, this desolate, lifeless world is starting to feel familiar to me." The Tree of Life's spiritual sense vibrated through each withered yellow leaf.

"I realize now that the plant wisdom I've acquired originates from the seal above us. The knowledge etched within it comes from another Primal Anima like myself, born from the Abyss we inhabit."

The Tree of Life expressed its surprise and happiness through the rustling of its many leaves.

"It has to be Yu Yuan! I can sense that Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, which corresponds to my level, has been imbued with new plant knowledge!"

It had always been hesitant to enter the seal, fearing it would become lost within it and stripped of everything.

Yet, it yearned for the plant essence nurtured and evolved by another Primal Anima of the same essence within the Abyss of Truth.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yuan had helped it realize this desire.

"As long as I can escape this accursed place and fill myself with new plant essence, I can break through my current rank!" The leaves of the Tree of Life rejoiced.

A Primal Anima like itself could achieve a breakthrough by creating a life race in its own image, forming a divine kingdom.

But the quickest path to ascension was to merge with the Cosmic Order of another Primal Anima.

At this moment, with Yu Yuan's assistance, it was rapidly elevating its realm through this very method.

"My choice was correct; aligning with the Lord of the Abyss was no mistake!"

This conviction only grew stronger.

...

Within the All Spirits Ban.

The Demon God Bertain, Sword Sect Master Lin Daoke, Green Willow, and Ballo watched in astonishment as the sun, moon, and stars were absorbed into Yu Yuan's Soul Altar.

Next, they witnessed dense plant essence transform into fresh green leaves before vanishing into the depths of Yu Yuan's Soul Altar.

The seal remained intact, yet Yu Yuan, gazing intently at the Dao patterns within the barrier, experienced a sudden epiphany.

Almost instantly, the Dao patterns he contemplated were drawn into his Soul Altar, initiating a profound integration.

The merging of the soul with the Astral Plane bestowed upon Yu Yuan divine powers beyond imagination!

"The Cosmic Order of the Primal Anima can actually merge!"

Ballo marveled in awe.

After merely observing for a short time, the essence of the stars, once bound by the wall, soared away and descended upon the Astral Plane within Yu Yuan's Soul Altar.

This revelation overturned Ballo's entire understanding of the Primal Anima.

He had dedicated countless years to advancing to the tenth level of bloodline and to grasping the profound meanings of the stars, slowly unraveling the cosmic order within the wall.

And Yu Yuan?

He had merely glanced at it and already grasped its profound meanings?

Moreover, he had effortlessly comprehended the ultimate truths hidden within the sun and the moon?

In comparison to Yu Yuan, Ballo felt like an utter fool, doubting he had any talent at all.

"Our grasp of the Primal Anima is too superficial. Next to the Lord of the Abyss, we might as well be ignorant," Bertain, the Great Demon God, lamented, no longer addressing Yu Yuan as a mere youth, but as the Lord of the Abyss.

Lin Daoke interjected, "There's more!"

With a wry smile, Bertain nodded, "Indeed, the secrets of the sun, moon, and stars are merely the beginning."

Outside the Wellspring of Creation, Loong Jie, who had not departed with Zhong Chichen and Youyu, let out a thunderous roar towards the seal in his majestic human form.

A piercing golden light burst forth from the confines of the sealed wall.

The light transformed, taking on the familiar golden laws that Loong Jie had deeply internalized, each one reflecting a rule he had once profoundly understood, and one by one, they settled onto Yu Yuan's "Soul Altar."

Suddenly, a thin golden sheet materialized on the layer above Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, on the ground.

This sheet of pure gold frantically drew in the golden light, piling up the rules, swiftly thickening before his eyes!

As the sheet thickened, Loong Jie realized that a new platform had been created within Yu Yuan's Soul Altar.

He roared uncontrollably, struggling to come to terms with the reality.

He had only just claimed supremacy over this Great Way, having ascended to the eleventh level. He had always prided himself on having the world's most pristine golden dragon bloodline!

Yu Yuan effortlessly crafted another platform, imprinting it with the same metal magic as his own. Wasn't this a clear sign that Yu Yuan was in a league of his own, beyond comparison?

And it was all about the metal magic!

At that moment, beneath the golden platform, a sea of fire erupted on the surface of Mother Earth. Wisps of heavenly fire, earthfire, shooting meteors, and scattered flames burst forth from the All Spirits Ban, converging on the area of the five-colored flesh.

As the diverse fire forms entered the inferno, they merged seamlessly, fueling the flames. The sea of fire raged and slowly solidified into a crimson platform, within which lay many intricate fire magics, encompassing heavenly fire, earthfire, meteors, and a multitude of profound flames.

Yet another nascent platform emerged!

"Whoa!"

Green Willow exclaimed, staring at Yu Yuan as if he were a creature of myth, and declared, "The water essence I've mastered!"

Like a celestial river, the water essence streamed out from the sealed wall and soared toward Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, where a pool of water spontaneously formed atop the corresponding plant platform.

The clear, colorless liquid rapidly gathered.

Soon enough, a water-filled platform took shape, with the ultimate truths and rules of water converging upon it.

Green Willow had spent a considerable amount of time amassing the water essence, which now transformed into glistening droplets, integrating into the platform.

The platforms of metal, water, and fire materialized in succession.

As a result, the plant platform received a tremendous boost, greatly benefiting the Tree of Life.

The profound meanings of the Sun, Moon, and Star primal spirits descended directly onto the Astral Plane, granting the Light Spirit an unprecedented leap forward in the annals of Primal Anima.

Yu Yuan's transformation, the fusion of his soul and spirit, seemed to have rewritten the rules of Primal Anima, turning a new page in its saga!
