C2329 The Primal Anima's Retaliation

"Where is Devitt?"

At the gracious invitation of two otherworldly deities, Yu Yuan scoured the Creitecesh for the Space God's whereabouts, the Dragon Slaying Stage beneath him shimmering with a ripple of light.

The light touched every corner, and no soul could elude his perception.

To Yu Yuan, the expanse of the Creitecesh was not infinite. Leveraging the power of the Dragon Slaying Stage, he thoroughly searched the entire Astral Domain.

Yet, there was no trace of Devitt's Soul Power.

Of the three otherworldly gods who had crossed over, the Space God, Devitt, proved to be the most elusive. Despite sealing the entire Creitecesh, he remained absent.

Had he joined the fray, the Primal Soul's defenses would have faced greater challenges, likely leading to a swift defeat.

What could possibly be more pressing for Devitt than the collective hunt for the Primal Soul?

Memories of the bloodbaths within the Void's Maelstrom in the Stellar Phoenix, where countless alien beasts perished, weighed heavily on Yu Yuan's mind. He suspected that Devitt might be disseminating deadly toxins in another Star River within the Wasteland.

As a deity ruling over space, the vastness of the Wasteland was trivial; a mere few teleportations were all it took for him to traverse it.

"Oh, Devitt has gone to Zionidall in the Origin Realm. There's been a slight complication there," remarked the God of Oblivion from the Bone Tribe, his emerald eyes flickering with an eerie flame as he chuckled. "The issue isn't significant. It should be resolved shortly."

"Zionidall?" Yu Yuan's expression shifted subtly.

Pillars of the Boulderdawn such as Taixu, Tianqi, Ann Ziqing, the Abyssal Leviathan, Youqian, along with formidable Otherkin like Elena and Denise, were all currently in Zionidall!

If Devitt were to leave behind a toxic relic in Zionidall, wouldn't that spell disaster for its inhabitants?

"It's not as you suspect. My Otherworld form is on the verge of descending through the Dread Mount in Zionidall."

Bertain, sensing his concern, offered a candid explanation, "The pathway through Dread Mount was nearing completion when Kaiya destroyed the spatial runes that formed its wellspring, delaying the return of my Otherworld form."

Devitt went over there to handle the situation.

The big devil said with a smile, "In the vast Everlands, on the Genesis Continent, there are now two of Them. You and I should join forces to erase Them from existence."

The Creitecesh, shrouded by Devitt's Celestial Imprisonment, didn't prevent Yu Yuan and his other two incarnations from sensing one another.

Yu Yuan, situated within the Creitecesh, was about to speak when his expression abruptly transformed.

...

The Maw of Oblivion was present in abundance.

Within the depths of the dark blue eyes, the soul thread of the Abyssal Leviathan was intertwining and refining, undergoing a transformation into a soul.

Arthurs boasted grandly about the Demon God Bertain's exalted status in the Otherworld and his unorthodox protection of the Origin Realm, while harshly criticizing the Primal Soul for its misdeeds.

Suddenly, a strikingly brilliant lightning bolt shot from the Tree of Life atop the Peak of Creation, striking Qi Yunhong squarely in the forehead!

Qi Yunhong, who had recently ascended to the rank of Supreme Being, was instantly overtaken by the Thunder Spirit!

"What are you doing?"

The three Yu Yuans were taken aback by the Thunder Spirit's sudden activity, instinctively shouting out their challenge.

At that moment, a cacophony of buzzing noises erupted from the Soul Altar deep within his mind, resonating with the earth, the thunder, and the vegetation, causing him to momentarily lose focus.

Whoosh!

Qi Yunhong transformed into a fearsome Divine Thunder, hurtling from the Peak of Creation towards the Maw of Oblivion where Arthurs was located, arriving instantaneously at the source of the spring.

The Divine Thunder expanded rapidly, forming a vast pool of lightning that engulfed Arthurs.

Crack! Boom!

The pool crackled with electric flashes and thunderous roars, its frenzied power obliterating Arthurs' spectral form.

Arthurs, who had been conveying Bertain's goodwill to Yu Yuan, met his end in an unforeseen calamity.

Caught off guard by Qi Yunhong's decisive strike, everyone present was left stunned, including Arthurs himself.

Only after Arthurs' spirit vanished from the spring did Qi Yunhong step out from the surging power of the Maw of Oblivion, his demeanor cool and detached.

"Thunder!"

Yuan Lianyao, Ballo, Green Willow, and Loong Jie immediately recognized that it was the Thunder Spirit that had unexpectedly seized control of Qi Yunhong, wielding the formidable force of lightning.

When the Thunder Spirit killed Arthurs without Yu Yuan's consent, it naturally raised some eyebrows.

"We're tired of his incessant babbling."

Qi Yunhong approached Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit, seizing control of the Thunder Spirit. He gestured towards the Tree of Life, the Star of Light suspended above Peak of Creation, and the somber-faced Mother Earth.

Yu Yuan turned to see that these four Primal Animas had unexpectedly formed a pact.

The Light Spirit kept its head down, avoiding eye contact, as if dodging something.

"We are Primal Animas; we're not like you."

Mother Earth, with a stern face, broke the silence, "The gods from the Otherworld take pleasure in hunting Primal Animas. The God of Oblivion, Snail Goddess, God of Destruction, and Death God have all sacrificed the Primal Animas that gave them life!"

Her gaze turned icy as she fixed it on Taishi.

Taishi touched his nose, feigning innocence, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yu Yuan, our willingness to ally with you was because you were confronting him. It was your intent to deal with him that led us to join forces with you."

"But now, with the situation drastically altered, we must reconsider our choices."

Mother Earth inhaled deeply, her chest swelling as she exclaimed, "We reject any contact with the thirty-six worlds of the Otherworld! We refuse to let the Origin Realm become the so-called thirty-seventh or the Wasteland the thirty-eighth!"

"The interconnectivity of various worlds implies that mighty beings from those realms will traverse the Origin Realm and the Wasteland."

"We..."

Mother Earth turned to the young girl of the Star of Light and the Tree of Life, continuing, "As Primal Animas, we will become the hunted by those world's mightiest."

She cast another glance at Taishi and Qi Yunhong, adding, "Alternatively, they could fall under the sway of those worlds and turn to refine us, using our deaths to ascend as gods of the Otherworld."

The resplendent star, with its eight pairs of pristine light wings, made the Light Spirit appear immaculate. It nodded gently, declaring, "I refuse to be refined by anyone. I do not wish to end up like the Primal Blood of the Wasteland."

The leaves of the Tree of Life whispered in the wind, signaling agreement.

"If you, Yu Yuan, align yourself with Bertain from the Otherworld, then we will assist them in dealing with you!"

Mother Earth made her stance clear, declaring, "The Dark Anima of the Genesis Continent, the Light Spirit of the Everlands, along with the Primal Blood and the extreme cold of the Origin Realm—all the Primal Animas that exist across the three realms—will unite against the formidable beings of that world, just as we have."

Arthurs' arrival and the message he brought from Bertain about the goal of merging with the Otherworld alerted the Primal Animas to the looming crisis.

At that very moment—

Whoosh!

After Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit departed, the adult Primal Beast that had been reclining on the vibrant mass of flesh seized the moment of Yu Yuan's contemplation to condense its massive form into a streak of brilliant light.

This vivid ray of light burst forth with intense space magic!

The light chose a spring within one of the many Maw of Oblivion and shot towards the Otherworld.

Following in the footsteps of Zhong Chichen and Tan Xiaotian, this Primal Beast too decided to venture into the Otherworld in search of its own path and breakthrough.

Feeling the immense pressure from Yu Yuan and realizing it could never surpass him, the Primal Beast had chosen this route.

"You've slipped away too?" Yu Yuan murmured, momentarily taken aback, awaiting the arrival of his real body.

"Before we step into the Otherworld, we remain ignorant of what lies there," Yu Yuan's real body mused as it settled by the spring where the little Primal Beast had vanished. After a brief pause, he resolved, "Let's do this—I'll go over to the other side for a look. I want to scrutinize the Otherworld with my own eyes!"
