C2343 Return to the Vast Expanse

Gazing down from the void beyond, one could witness the violent thunder and lightning churning like a tumultuous sea.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao of the Boundless Great World was in utter disarray. The mightiest retreated, and even the Gods had faded into silence.

The Unrestrained Stage cultivators of the Protoss on Tia Main Planet gazed longingly at the Boundless Great World, their eyes brimming with tears.

Only the supreme Zhiya of the Demon Palace and Sword Sect Lord Lin Daoke dared to peer through the fearsome lightning at the immense fissure that had torn through the world.

Beneath the frenzied lightning, a rift plunged straight down to the fiery depths at the heart of the Boundless Great World.

Through the divine powers of Zhiya and Lin Daoke, they could behold the resplendent Boundless Heart and the ethereal bloodline lightning darting across the crystal face.

"Stop dawdling and dive in already," Zhiya muttered to herself, eager for the old demon to step into the Heart of the Boundless Great World and engage in a mortal combat with the Origin Soul from the abyss, allowing her to decipher the profound Dao Laws of both adversaries.

"Heh!" Beilstein exclaimed, his tone laced with a mix of nostalgia and awe. He flung his blood-red cape, revealing patterns of crimson lightning that mirrored the bloodline laws of countless wise beings from distant realms, dancing across the fabric in a mesmerizing display alongside the bloodline lightning on the surface of the Boundless Heart.

"You've been gathering the bloodline mysteries of all creatures in the Origin Realm through Yu Yuan's Yang God, but I've been far from idle in the foreign lands," the old demon boasted. "This cape is an Artifact, which I've aptly named Doomsday. My Sun Destruction Cape was crafted for the day I confront a being such as yourself."

With those words, he prepared to step forward.

However, in an instant, his brow furrowed, and he glanced down at his chest.

Whoosh!

A sphere of chaotic light burst forth from the blood-red cape, settling into his palm.

This orb of light, resembling a dimly lit expanse of stars, unfolded a vision before him.

The old demon saw another version of himself in the Darkness World, grievously wounded by a tangible "Yu Yuan," with the sentient consciousness of the Abyss Origin Soul attempting to infiltrate and possess his body.

The miniature "Chaos Orb" concealed within the Dragon Bone Staff was fending off the possession by the Abyss Origin Soul within his amethyst demon form.

In the dense darkness, the Oblivion God Harris, the Death God Kurkova, and the Space God Devitt found their powers constrained by numerous bizarre crystal faces. Harris and Kurkova had evidently sustained severe injuries, while only Devitt continued to channel his spatial abilities into the Chaos Orb embedded in the amethyst body.

"Origin Soul, Origin Spirit, Origin Blood..." The elder demon's face grew increasingly grave as he clutched the chaotic glimmer in his palm, which abruptly contorted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! The Geocentric Fire, summoned by the elder demon, coalesced into frenzied lightning and lawlessness.

A spectral flame, having departed from the heart of the vast sea of fire, was extinguished in an instant due to the elder demon's mental tremor and his reflexive action.

The extreme flame was taken aback, its dispersed spirit within the sea of fire swiftly retreating into the heart to seek refuge.

The elder demon, now before the crystal ball and on the verge of entering the heart, emitted an aura of utmost peril.

"Enough, reverse the chaos!" Beilstein, having returned from a foreign realm, gazed at the heart close at hand and unleashed his secret arts.

His Devil Soul, from within the Doomsday cape, slipped into the chest's Chaos Orb and vanished without a trace.

Subsequently, the Doomsday cape, fluttering within the sea of fire, whizzed into the Chaos Orb as well.

As the Devil Soul and cape disappeared, the energy orb, once tumultuous and radiating a warping force field, abruptly transformed into a multicolored orb of glazed light.

Numerous delicate spatial threads rapidly enveloped the Chaos Orb before it vanished from sight.

In the external cosmos...

Zhiya and Lin Daoke, perched above the butterfly, stared in bewilderment at the spot where the elder demon had vanished.

"Has he... already entered?" Zhiya's phoenix eyes sparkled, attempting to glimpse Beilstein through the heart of the sea of fire.

Lin Daoke simply shook his head, offering no words.

"What is this elder demon up to?" Zhiya's exquisite face turned icy. She stepped off the butterfly and moved closer to the heart, saying, "Beilstein has banished the Outland Devaputra, thrown the laws of the Gray Domain into chaos, and even curtailed the Galaxy Extraordinary Talent. He was thoroughly prepared, yet did he really just slip away at the final moment?"

Lin Daoke remained silent, sensing that something was off.

After harnessing the tempestuous crimson lightning, he finally arrived at the heart of the Boundless Great World. Just as he was about to step in, he vanished? Had all his meticulous planning and efforts been in vain?

"Why don't you give it a try?" Lin Daoke suddenly offered, feigning generosity.

The Demon Palace Sovereign, notorious for his insanity, was uncharacteristically composed. He scoffed, "You should be the one to try first."

Zhiya, no matter how reckless, wouldn't dare to charge into the heart of the Boundless Great World without any understanding of it. Recently, she and her carefully nurtured little Origin Beast had been severely chastised by the Abyss Origin Soul above the true Abyss, suffering a significant setback. This experience made Zhiya cautious about making any rash moves.

"Then we'll just wait and see," Lin Daoke suggested once more.

Whoosh!

A colorful butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, lifting Lin Daoke into the air. Without concern for their reactions, it sliced open a rift in space and departed. As it vanished, the butterfly emitted a mournful cry, seemingly aware of its master's plight.

...

It was the Origin Realm as well, the world within the Creation Continent.

Deep in the endless darkness, Beilstein, clad in Golden Dragon Armor with a purple crystal demonic body, felt a surge of immense energy emanating from a spot of chaos in his chest. Another Beilstein, returning from a foreign realm, emerged from that enigmatic chaos and seamlessly integrated into the purple crystal body.

Whoosh!

A blood-red cape burst forth from the chaos and settled upon the Golden Dragon Armor. Subsequently, the chaotic light began to intensify, distorting the dazzling seals in the darkness and muddling the magnetic field of the Heavenly Dao.

The two Myriad Spirit Restrictions, already merged, could no longer maintain control under the influence of the "Chaos Orb" within Beilstein's chest, failing to seal the celestial void.

"Lord Beilstein!"

"Lord!"

The three trapped Protoss, feeling the familiar surge of the force field, erupted into cheers. They instantly recognized that the formidable old demon, who reigned supreme in the foreign realm, had hastened from the Boundless Great World to this Darkness World for an epic showdown with the Abyss Origin Soul.

"It's me."

The eerie laughter of the old devil burst forth from within the purple crystal body.

He disregarded the multiple void seals of the Myriad Spirit Restriction, shattering countless layers of enchantments. With sheer force, he traversed from the Boundless Great World into the dark recesses of the Creation Continent.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A torrent of potent blood and flesh energy surged from Beilstein's "Doomsday" cape, infusing itself into the purple crystal body.

This body of purple crystal suddenly transformed into a skeleton as durable as iron, complete with limbs and a central torso.

The overwhelming blood energy from the cape clung to the purple crystal body, morphing into robust and refined muscles, granting the old devil a genuine flesh-and-blood physique!

He was akin to the very Origin Soul of the Abyss!

"In thirty-six different worlds, I've used this cape to collect Life Seeds and absorb various kinds of blood and flesh energy."

Beilstein flashed a smile, gazing at Yu Yuan, who had unified the powers of the Origin Soul, Origin Spirit, and Origin Blood into one entity, and said, "You possess a flesh-and-blood body. As an Outland Devaputra, I too have tirelessly pursued a body of flesh and blood that truly belongs to me."

Within the Golden Dragon Armor, the purple crystal body became a crystal skeleton, enveloped by strong, refined flesh and blood.

At the heart of this novel physique lay a wondrous Chaos Orb, and in his grasp, he wielded the Dragon Bone Staff.

Beilstein, armed with an array of Artifacts, had merged two Devil Souls into one, now standing firm against the Abyss Origin Soul before him.

"I had intended to divide my focus, but it appears I lack the strength to do so and deal with you separately."

"So be it..."

Beilstein, having consolidated all his power and Artifacts, let out a sigh and said, "I must entrust the other matter to Yu Yuan."

...

Meanwhile.

In the tumultuous thunderous deeps of the Boundless Great World, before a massive crystal sphere.

The Dragon Slash Platform appeared abruptly.

"Yu Yuan!"

Zhiya and Lin Daoke couldn't contain their shock at the sudden emergence of the Dragon Slash Platform.

The mighty beings of Tia Main Planet and the neighboring stars were equally astounded by the unexpected activity of the Dragon Slash Platform.

"It's the Dragon Slash Platform!"

"Yu Yuan has arrived!"

The crowd erupted in excitement, drawing closer to the Boundless Great World, eager to witness whether any of the Artifacts they recognized would reveal themselves amidst the fierce lightning.

"It's him!"

Zhiya could hardly believe that after the Great Demon God Beilstein vanished, someone else had taken his place, now standing before the heart of the Boundless Great World.

"Both my Yin God and Yang God have entered it."

Yu Yuan, perched atop the Dragon Slash Platform, was in his true form.

At that moment, the Dragon Slash Platform hovered amidst tumultuous thunder, with a sea of fire churning violently below.

Yet for Yu Yuan, neither the wild thunder nor the scorching flames could harm him in the slightest.

With just a thought, he commanded the dense lightning above the sea of fire to dance at his will.
