C2262 He Passed Through the All Spirits Ban

Every formidable being within the ban was intimidated by the sudden transformation of Yu Yuan's Soul Altar. The magnificent presence of the Soul Altar revolutionized everyone's perception of Primal Anima, clarifying a pivotal truth—Primal Anima could merge and coexist harmoniously.

"I thought I was unique," Loong Jie mused, his head bowed in a crestfallen manner. There had never been another like him, the supreme embodiment of the Way of Heaven, the ultimate pinnacle. He had once taken great pride in that fact.

But now, a resplendent golden platform had emerged within Yu Yuan's Soul Altar. Loong Jie knew all too well that the ultimate arcane secrets of metal he had etched into his heart and blood were manifesting on that very platform. Could it be that Yu Yuan, like him, was also a supreme being of the Path of Metal? And within Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, there were more than ten such platforms!

The Soul Altar now boasted ten distinct levels!

"He truly is the key to confronting that adversary," muttered the Great Demon God Bertain, his voice tinged with complexity. He was elated for Yu Yuan, realizing that the radical changes to the Soul Altar would significantly bolster Yu Yuan's odds in their next encounter. Yet, he couldn't help feeling a twinge of disappointment. Yu Yuan's current state made him, the former sovereign of the Origin Realm, too sheepish to claim the title of Yu Yuan's mentor any longer.

Suddenly, at the deepest part of the ban, Yu Yuan's Soul Altar underwent another extraordinary metamorphosis. With a whoosh, the Astral Plane, previously beneath layers of ice and lightning, surged upward, propelled by the addition of celestial symbols representing the sun, moon, and stars, encompassing the ultimate truths of three major Primal Anima.

The Astral Plane ascended from its lower position, mystically arriving just below the plane where soul and spirit merged. It had reached the eighth level! The Astral Plane, now radiant with the brilliance of the Light Spirit, was adorned with twinkling stars, the sun and moon shining together, generating an immense force that propelled it even higher.

It aspired to surpass the plane of soul and spirit, and even the Blood Altar, aiming for the very summit of the Soul Altar. But with a series of booming impacts, its attempts to rise were thwarted. The integration of the planes of soul and spirit was of such a high order within the realm of Primal Anima that no matter how vigorously it strived to ascend, it remained firmly anchored below.

It quickly became docile and ceased its chaotic assaults.

"The elevation of each platform reflects the cosmic order of heaven and earth, mirroring the hierarchy and strata of the Primal Anima."

Yu Yuan experienced a moment of enlightenment.

As the Astral Planes stirred, the Soul Altar, now reaching ten layers, showcased the elements of Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Light, Soul, and the arcane mysteries of Life in a mesmerizing display.

The various platforms were in disarray, seemingly eager to reorganize and ascend.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Having expended a great deal of energy, the All Spirits Ban suddenly unleashed the devouring force of the Maw of Oblivion. Amidst the cacophony outside, another wave of cosmic energy was consumed by the All Spirits Ban.

The All Spirits Ban promptly initiated its transformative power. The water essence, psionic power, and star power previously collected by Green Willow, Ballo, and Yu Yuan were the first to be transformed by the wall.

At this juncture, both Bertain and Lin Daoke were fully convinced that the ultimate truths of the cosmic order, encompassing all Primal Animas, would not vanish even after being comprehended by Loong Jie, Green Willow, and Ballo.

This knowledge, a legacy of the Primal Anima, would endure within the wall. As long as the All Spirits Ban remained intact, it would never be lost.

What would dissipate within the seal was merely the energy corresponding to the profound truths of the rules, each with its own attribute.

The All Spirits Ban would then replenish what was lost by absorbing and transforming cosmic energy, filling in whatever was lacking.

The All Spirits Ban would convert more of the energy attribute that was most depleted during its absorption of cosmic energy.

Thanks to Yu Yuan's construction of three new layers, the energies of metal, water, and intense flames, which had been greatly diminished, were now restored after the All Spirits Ban's voracious consumption.

At last.

With the establishment of the metal, water, and fire platforms, along with the integration of the soul layers, Yu Yuan's Soul Altar had solidified into ten levels.

The first layer was founded on earth, the second was the crimson Astral Plane, and the third was the metal Astral Plane.

Ascending further, the fourth layer was vegetation, the fifth was the water platform, the sixth was lightning, and the seventh was ice.

The uppermost three levels were truly exceptional.

On the eighth level, the Astral Plane encompassed the essence of the sun, moon, and stars—three distinct types of Primal Anima. The ninth level represented the harmonious fusion of the soul and spirit.

At the pinnacle, the tenth floor, was Yu Yuan's Primal Blood, which, after merging with the Primal Blood from the Origin Realm, still maintained compatibility with the life force from the Abyss.

On this plane, three kinds of Secrets of Life, sharing the same attribute, merged into one, alongside the thoroughly refined Primal Blood of the Wasteland.

Beneath it lay the immense, land-like expanse of terrifying flesh and blood, drawn from the Abyss.

This was the foundation of the Soul Altar's power and the reason for its lofty position.

It dominated the nine planes below!

The ten-tiered Soul Altar, suspended above Yu Yuan's head, radiated a magical power that could captivate one's soul.

Bertain and the others, trapped within the seal, along with Loong Jie, the Astral Tiger, and the golden deer, gazed upon the enigmatic Soul Altar through the dazzling barrier, feeling an overwhelming impulse to prostrate themselves in reverence.

Green Willow and Ballo, being nearer to the Soul Altar, actually felt compelled to kneel.

Their spirits, blood, and consciousness seemed to be under its influence.

"The tenth plane encompasses numerous ultimate truths of the Primal Anima," Yu Yuan declared. Instantly, Green Willow and Ballo snapped out of their trance, exchanging glances that revealed their inner tremors.

"It appears that the restrictions no longer bind me."

Yu Yuan, with his real body, sensed that the All Spirits Ban, which had restrained that mass of flesh, no longer held any sway over him.

"Dragon Slaying Stage."

With a gesture, the Dragon Slaying Stage, previously held by the Solar Spirit, materialized in his real body's hands.

Within the Dragon Slaying Stage, Dark Phoenix Zhiya gazed at him through the translucent plane, her beauty capable of enchanting all who beheld her.

The astonishment in Zhiya's eyes was unmistakable.

Above Yu Yuan's head, the Soul Altar, with its fusion of soul and spirit, had grasped the Way of Heaven and the cosmic pathways of the sun, moon, and stars, imprinting them upon the Astral Plane. He had also penetrated the ultimate truths of the metal, water, and fire Primal Anima, reconstructing three entirely new planes. Zhiya watched the entire process unfold with clarity from within the Dragon Slaying Stage.

From start to finish, Zhiya remained silent.

She was at a loss for how to assess Yu Yuan, unsure of how to interact with him.

Yu Yuan surpassed her comprehension. She could never have envisioned an entity like him, capable of crafting such an extraordinary stage that could integrate so many ultimate truths of Primal Anima.

The Blood Altar no longer swarmed with the deep red Life Seeds, and Yu Yuan ceased to unfurl the Secrets of Life on the Dragon Slaying Stage's celestial canvas.

Yet, the Abyssal Overlord that had previously stalked her, ready to attack at the mere scent of her presence, did not reappear.

This subtly indicated that Yu Yuan had mastered a portion of the massive flesh's power.

With this realization, Zhiya grew even more vigilant.

"I'll escort you out first," Yu Yuan said, a faint smile on his lips.

The towering Soul Altar, ten levels high, swiftly contracted into his brow's sea of consciousness. His real body then emitted a dazzling divine light, strikingly similar to the All Spirits Ban!

Encircling his real body, the glow subtly revealed symbols of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the sun, moon, stars, ice, and thunder, along with the ultimate truth.

These matched the enigmatic interplay of light and shadow within the barrier.

At a glance, it appeared as though a miniature All Spirits Ban orbited Yu Yuan's real body.

Small as it may be, it was perfectly formed.

Within the brilliance around Yu Yuan, the All Spirits Ban possessed all the arcane secrets and cosmic order, including the lightning, without exception.

In an instant, his real body, clutching the Dragon Slaying Stage, departed from the multicolored flesh.

"This is quite simple," Yu Yuan said with a toothy grin. After a brief pause in the direction of Lin Daoke, Ballo, and the others, he added, "Breaking through another layer should pose no issue with the seal's power."

Then, under the watchful eyes of Bertain, Lin Daoke, Green Willow, Ballo, Loong Jie, and a host of Beast Gods, he soared toward the resplendent barrier that separated Bertain and Lin Daoke.

He passed through in a flash.

The All Spirits Ban, perhaps the most formidable seal in existence, now proved ineffective against him.

He materialized just outside the Wellspring of Creation, standing atop the heavens shaped by the All Spirits Ban. A gentle shake of the Dragon Slaying Stage sent Zhiya flying with an irresistible force.

Trapped for ages within that bizarre expanse of flesh, the Dark Phoenix Zhiya, who had nearly been drained of life, was at last freed from her confinement.
