In the Gray Domain, Yu Yuan stood before the Heart of Vast Water, wielding the Dragon Slash Platform as a towering blade that could split the heavens. With a fierce swing, he aimed to cleave through the fourth Myriad Spirit Restriction.
Thousands of arctic lightning bolts, accompanied by the earth-shattering roar of a brontosaurus, struck at the Myriad Spirit Restriction, a barrier formed by layers upon layers of seals.
The solid ground of Vast Water seemed unable to withstand such a force, trembling and roaring like an earthquake.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The bright surface of the Myriad Spirit Restriction was suddenly awash with the Dao Law of the Dao Elephant, transforming into suns, moons, stars, celestial rivers, seas of fire, Gold Mountains, and glaciers.
"Heh!" Yu Yuan chuckled ominously.
A Soul Altar, towering ten levels high, emerged from between his eyebrows, rising above his head.
The moment his Soul Altar materialized, it mirrored the Myriad Spirit Restriction, with similar celestial bodies, lightning, ice, earth, and vegetation laws taking shape within its tiers.
At first glance, there was hardly any discernible difference from the Myriad Spirit Restriction's surface.
Upon witnessing the emergence of the Soul Altar, Zhiya and Lin Daoke noticed the Dao Elephant on the surface of the Myriad Spirit Restriction suddenly lose its luster.
They instantly understood that Yu Yuan's Soul Altar was exerting a suppressive force against the Myriad Spirit Restriction.
Yu Yuan himself could feel that, prior to the full closure of the Myriad Spirit Restrictions, the fourth one alone stood no chance against the might of his Soul Altar.
The radiance emanating from his Soul Altar and the intricate laws displayed upon its tiers were unraveling the Myriad Spirit Restriction!
This also led to the Dao Phantoms, which were meant to defend against the Dragon Slash Platform, being unable to maintain their form for long.
With a single whoosh, the newly condensed Dao Phantoms within the seal disintegrated.
The fourth Abyss Origin Soul had forged a new Myriad Spirit Restriction, brimming with considerable energy, still consuming the stellar abilities of the Gray Domain, and persistently transforming various attributes of power.
The ultimate laws of the sun, moon, stars, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and numerous Origin Souls were all present.
Yet, under the pressure and dissolution exerted by Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, the rich energy and refined laws within were unable to merge effectively.
Yu Yuan's mind steadied significantly.
He was aware that unless the Origin Soul swiftly rallied the other Myriad Spirit Restrictions from the Desolate Realm and the Creation Continent to coalesce them, the fourth Myriad Spirit Restriction alone would be utterly ineffective in confining him.
With a covert surge of power, the Dragon Slash Platform finally penetrated the Myriad Spirit Restriction, delving into the seal's core.
The platform's tip made contact with the colossal heart of the Vast Ocean Crystal.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Yu Yuan's true form materialized at the tip of the Dragon Slash Platform, directly before the heart of the Vast Ocean Crystal.
Meanwhile, his Soul Altar remained outside the Myriad Spirit Restriction, as did the opposite end of the Dragon Slash Platform.
This strategic placement was to thwart any desperate attempt by the Origin Soul to instantaneously summon the remaining Myriad Spirit Restrictions.
"This return shall be entirely different."
Yu Yuan gently pressed his hands against the Heart of Vast Water, as pristine as jade, channeling the life force from his own heart into a deep connection with it.
In the depths of his eyes, a myriad of blood-red secrets emerged, flickering like stars connected by lightning.
Within the Heart of Vast Water, all the previously dormant blood-veined glimmers sprang to life under the influence of his life force!
At the nape of Yu Yuan's neck, the crimson Life Wheel materialized and began to rotate softly.
As the Life Wheel turned, the Heart of Vast Water fragmented into countless shimmering shards.
The Origin Soul, once concealed within the Heart of Vast Water, was now laid bare before Yu Yuan.
"You've grown more cautious and more astute. You have certainly progressed."
The specter within the dark soul sea, sensing danger, cast a cold glance at Yu Yuan.
Whoosh!
The specter plunged into the dark soul sea, and just as Yu Yuan was poised to act, both the specter and the soul sea were shrouded anew by a Myriad Spirit Restriction.
The fourth Myriad Spirit Restriction, cleaved by the Dragon Slash Platform, was drawn back over the shattered Heart of Vast Water by his power.
This diminished Myriad Spirit Restriction also ensnared a cluster of fierce flames before vanishing into thin air amidst the thunderous lightning.
Crack! Crack!
The freshly shattered crystal fragments, under Yu Yuan's command, reassembled into a crystal sphere, encasing a pool brimming with primal energy.
Above the pond, the enigmatic sea of souls, the Myriad Spirit Restriction, and the fireball symbolizing the Extreme Flame had long since vanished.
"They managed to escape."
In the newly formed Heart of Vastness, Yu Yuan had already imprinted his own blood brand.
Crafted from the heart of a spinosaurus and forged with precious metal, the Heart of Vastness was now firmly under Yu Yuan's control.
Yet, a significant portion of the Abyss Origin Soul had eluded capture, causing Yu Yuan's brow to furrow without a hint of triumph.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the disappearance of the Extreme Flame and the Abyss Origin Soul, the Geocentric Fire transformed into fiery clouds and intense meteors, spilling beyond the Vast Expanse.
The Vast Expanse was rocked by severe earthquakes, with numerous mountains collapsing. The laws that pervaded the Vast Expanse crumbled in the wake of the disappearance.
Yu Yuan's true form, within the Heart of Vastness that had healed from its fractures, surveyed the pond.
He then turned his attention to the movements within the Desolate Realm.
He quickly discerned that the Origin Soul, which had vanished from the Heart of Vastness, and the soul sea that signified its origin, had likely migrated to the Creation Continent.
The black and blue pupils were devoid of any new Origin Souls.
"Creation Continent!"
Yu Yuan instantly realized that the Origin Soul, along with the soul sea that denoted its origin, must have relocated to the Creation Continent.
...
On the Creation Continent.
The deity, with flesh and blood and bearing a striking resemblance to Yu Yuan, was locked in a fierce battle with the Great Demon God Beilstein, who wielded numerous Artifacts amidst profound darkness.
Gigantic soul whirlpools morphed into fearsome Chaos Abyss, shredding the myriad secret arts contained within the ancient Dragon Bone Staff.
Behind him, thirty-six Chaos Abyss swirled like an inexhaustible wellspring of power, causing Harris, Kurkova, and Devitt to struggle immensely.
His corporeal form rendered him nearly invulnerable, effortlessly deflecting the lethal onslaughts of the old demon.
The forces of thunder, ice, and space, along with other potent laws capable of devastating souls, were rendered ineffective against him. He countered them with ease.
Suddenly, the deity, an amalgamation of this realm's Origin Soul, Origin Soul, and Origin Blood, twitched his eyebrows.
*Whoosh!*
A dazzling Myriad Spirit Restriction, wrapped in a dark blue sea of souls, quietly emerged within the darkness.
The dark blue sea of souls vanished in an instant, merging into the depths of his forehead and becoming one with his expansive mind.
As the Myriad Spirit Restriction infused with his forehead, it transformed into an immense net that ensnared the Space God, Devitt.
In the moment Devitt was caught by the massive net, his corporeal form was also pulled into the web of light.
His hand reached down from above, piercing into Devitt's head, and with a gentle tug, he extracted all of Devitt's flesh and blood.
The Space God, Devitt, was reduced to a mere human skin, trapped within the net spawned from the Myriad Spirit Restriction.
Devitt's flesh, blood, bones, and soul were all drained in an instant.
The events unfolded too swiftly. His power surged too ferociously, and Beilstein could not react in time before Devitt met his demise.
He let out a cold huff, stowing the pitch-black crystal face without a flicker of emotion, then proceeded to collect the peculiar crystals he had released into his palm.
The overwhelming soul energy of this world, including the Myriad Spirit Restriction, all vanished into his physique.
His presence swelled with madness!
The Old Devil, the Oblivion God, and the Death God all sensed an ominous turn. None could think of seeking vengeance for Devitt at that moment.
"I will come back for you."
With those words, he vanished from the sight of the Old Devil and the others.
It was only after a considerable time had passed that Beilstein and his companions realized they were still beneath the Creation Continent, in a vast, empty cavern.
Yet, the cavern was devoid of anything.
Without him, there was no Darkness Origin Spirit, no expansive Darkness World, and none of the enigmatic crystals that once lurked in the shadows.
The Myriad Spirit Restriction had also disappeared without a trace.
"Where has he gone?"
The Oblivion God paused, then suddenly shrieked, "Hao Yun! He must have gone to Hao Yun!"
"My brother... is he really gone?"
Kurkova gazed at the discarded human skin, unable to detect even a hint of Devitt's presence, and asked, "Lord Beilstein, is there any chance of finding my brother's soul? Does any part of his soul remain?"
Beilstein shook his head in response.
