C2379 The Counterattack of the Supreme Beings!
Above the Dragon Slaying Stage, Yu Yuan's eyes shone with a brightness that seemed to traverse endless time and space, reaching the far side of oblivion.
Boom!
The Soul Altar, hovering above his head, grew larger as it gently spun, transforming into a towering, majestic mountain of crystal.
The Holy Mountain radiated a profound aura that seemed to embrace all of creation, every creature and spirit!
Divine light cascaded from each crystalline tier, revealing a succession of Dao images imbued with the essence of the Primal Anima.
Zhiya gazed upward at the Soul Altar, now resembling a Holy Mountain, feeling a profound tremor in her soul.
To her senses, the expanding Soul Altar was the ultimate destination for all beings, a place where the flesh, blood, and exquisite spirits of all life were enshrined within.
The ninth tier was particularly awe-inspiring!
The stage corresponding to the soul shimmered in the green divine glow, with the interwoven Great Way radiating a mystical chant that seemed to offer ascension to the realm of divine spirits.
As she focused on this stage, feeling the myriad rules of Mind Magic converging, her bond with the little Primal Beast grew even stronger.
She could acutely feel the little Primal Beast's suffering—the Spirit of Fate's golden cape permeating it, the vast divine power of fate seeping into its very bones and blood.
Hush! Hush! Hush!
The overwhelming Soul Power from the ninth Soulstone Pedestal transformed into streams of green divine light, cascading down to each tier below!
The Golden, Water, Fire, and Light stages all basked in the infusion of divine light.
Yu Yuan's consciousness melded with the green divine light, connecting through the tiers below to the scattered Primal Animas and supreme beings within the void.
Through the resplendent Soul Altar, Yu Yuan, now deep within the void, could observe the movements of the four Primal Animas of the Peak of Creation and the soul of the Light Spirit, who watched the little Primal Beast's agonized screams with a sense of helpless sorrow.
Moreover, supreme beings like Yuan Lianyao, Loong Jie, Ballo, and Green Willow each manifested on the corresponding stage of their Soul Altar.
These supreme beings, who should not have been within Yu Yuan's awareness, were drawn to the Book of Time due to the Spirit of Fate's guidance and the urging of the Primal Animas within them that shared their attributes.
Subsequently, they were influenced by the divine power of time from Heesters's River of Time and began to awaken one by one as time reversed.
Initially suppressed and in the process of being consumed by the Primal Animas, the supreme beings finally awoke due to the reversal of time and desperately sought assistance.
They had always been attuned to Yu Yuan's "Soul Altar," and their intense will to survive eventually reached Yu Yuan.
In the void where the cosmic order does not exist, the connection between Yu Yuan's "Soul Altar" and the souls of the supreme beings remained unaffected.
Realizing that the supreme beings still possessed consciousness, merely suppressed by the Primal Animas, Yu Yuan naturally sought to use his abilities to aid in their revival.
The transmission of Soul Power was unhindered, so he sent forth a torrent of it to help the supreme beings counter the Primal Anima.
"Uh!"
In doing so, he was astonished to discover that the ninth level of the Soulstone Pedestal was incredibly cooperative.
Streams of pure and powerful Soul Power were infused into different Soulstones as a radiant green glow.
This energy also reached the distant souls of the many supreme beings!
As the Spirit of Fate was about to seal Heesters' fate, following a severe backlash in Stephanie’s physical form, a sudden transformation occurred within Yuan Lianyao!
Yuan Lianyao's sea of consciousness had long been transformed into an endless expanse of fire, with each thread of Divine Sense igniting into a divine flame.
Hovering above this sea, a sphere teeming with the principles of fire magic blazed intensely.
Crackle!
The fiery sphere was encircled by strands of crimson, crystalline lightning, and beautiful meteors trailing sparks streaked across the fiery expanse.
Within this sphere lay the profound meanings of the Way of Heaven related to fire, accessible to all!
Anyone who sought to grasp the profound meanings of fire could ascend to supremacy, potentially rising to the stature of a deity of flame, by simply understanding the truths of the cosmic order within the sphere.
Upon arriving at the Domain of Origin and encountering the Spirit of Fate, the magic power of the blazing fire surged tremendously!
The promises made by the Spirit of Fate many years prior were now being honored in the Domain of Origin.
The exceedingly proud Blazing Fire was now invigorated, harboring even greater ambitions.
"To refine you and then to become you is merely my initial step."
The round phantom of the Blazing Fire, ensconced within a fiery orb, gazed down indifferently at the sea of flames, musing, "Perhaps, I too might have the chance to be like the Spirit of Fate and obtain a body capable of carrying other cosmic orders of the Primal Anima!"
He cackled eerily within the fireball, "If the Primal Soul can do it, if the Spirit of Fate can do it, why not I?"
His ambition was boundless, and his greedy flames, like himself, would never be extinguished.
Even if the heavens and earth were to perish, all life to vanish, and all things to wither, he would still burn eternally, ever seeking his next metamorphosis.
This blazing orb was his foundation, the amalgamation of his spiritual sense, energy, and rules.
After reaching the Domain of Origin, the Primal Anima no longer depended on stars or objects.
Within the Domain of Origin, Primal Animas could exist autonomously and move at will.
Currently, his foundation was rooted within Yuan Lianyao's body, and she, as a supreme being of flame, was precisely suited to bear his foundation.
The vast sea of fire he overlooked was filled with numerous fire shadows, each one a soul form of Yuan Lianyao.
Yuan Lianyao, having ascended to the Supreme Realm, had her soul dispersed and subjected to the purifying flames by the Blazing Fire.
With each fire shadow of Yuan Lianyao that dissolved and became part of the sea of fire, the spiritual sense and wisdom of the Blazing Fire grew incrementally.
— He had ultimately fulfilled his desire to strip Yuan Lianyao of everything.
The Fire Demon body he had meticulously crafted and intended for himself was already within his grasp.
Suddenly, the remaining fire shadows of Yuan Lianyao, submerged in the sea of fire, burst forth with a radiant green glow!
With the emergence of the green light, Yuan Lianyao's soul, which had lost all will to resist, suddenly became focused and revitalized.
Each Yuan Lianyao within the sea of fire, previously immobile, was now being propelled by the green light, rapidly coalescing into one.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of blurry and ephemeral fire shadows merged into one. Yuan Lianyao's spirit was resurrected, standing upon the vast sea of flames, enveloped in a luminescent green glow. The crimson lightning that streaked towards her was silently extinguished upon contact with the glow.
Having undergone a purifying cleanse, Yuan Lianyao emerged stronger and more solid than ever, her gaze fixed on the orb of light floating above the inferno. A mere glance at the fiery sphere filled her mind with extensive knowledge about the blazing fire, as though an unseen force revealed its vulnerabilities and instructed her on how to refine it.
With resolve, she traversed the tumultuous flames within her consciousness, transforming them into a ferocious fire dragon that surged towards the foundation of the Blazing Fire.
With a whoosh, she and the fire dragon beneath her plunged into the fiery orb. Yuan Lianyao and the rotund spirit of the Extreme Flame immediately engaged in a fierce battle to the death. The verdant divine light that swirled around her not only persisted but grew increasingly intense.
Her presence became more formidable as the battle raged on, bolstered by a ceaseless influx of divine power that granted her inexhaustible strength.
"Primal Soul!" the Blazing Fire bellowed within the radiant sphere, its tone laced with irritation, as if it sensed the impending doom.
From Yuan Lianyao's eyes, flames dripped like tears, her visage one of sheer terror. She watched Stephanie, who was still being relentlessly attacked by Heesters's White Bone, and screamed in fear, "The Primal Soul has arrived! It's aiding Yu Yuan and the other supremes! It's meddling in this battle!"
She had been confident of victory, certain she could soon vanquish Heesters's Spirit of Fate. However, upon hearing the warning, her expression turned to one of alarm.
The Primal Soul, lurking in the Abyss, was regarded by the Spirit of Fate as the most formidable among its kindred Primal Anima. And now, the Abyss Primal Soul was concealed somewhere within the Domain of Origin and the Genesis Nebula, ready to strike.
It had possessed Stephanie's body and the little Primal Beast, still fresh from its recent confrontation with the Primal Soul in the luminous ring of the Genesis Nebula. Stephanie's body bore countless wounds, and the little Primal Beast was scarred, a testament to their recent vulnerability.
All thanks to the Primal Soul of the Abyss!
Had it not been for the betrayal of Blazing Fire at that pivotal moment, wounding the Primal Soul of the Abyss, he might not have managed to repel the Primal Soul, nor could he have initiated subsequent actions.
He harbored a deep fear of the Abyss, constantly dividing his attention to watch for any sign of the Primal Soul's emergence.
What he was unaware of was that the green divine radiance infused into the supreme beings was being released through Yu Yuan's real body's Soul Altar and the ninth Soulstone Pedestal.
He was unable to detect any trace of the Primal Soul or sense its movements.
Yet, he could sense that the supreme beings, whose bodies had been taken over by loyal Primal Anima, were brimming with power, having broken free from the Primal Anima's restraint.
"Where are you?"
"Just where are you hiding?"
"I am not afraid of you!"
Yuan Lianyao, with eyes streaming with fiery tears, looked pitiful and terrifying as she roared within the true sea of flames, desperate to unearth the Primal Soul.
Suddenly!
Loong Jie, possessed by the Golden Spirit, shook his head and swished his tail in the void, his body radiating a golden glow.
From the crevices of his golden scales, a green divine radiance also emerged, aiding the revival of his Dragon Soul and helping him fend off the encroachment of the Golden Spirit.
A soul-shattering dragon's cry erupted from Loong Jie's heart.
In an instant, a miniature golden divine dragon, enshrouded in a misty green divine radiance, furiously collided with a Gold Mountain within his very own dragon heart.
This Gold Mountain was the foundational root of the Golden Spirit from the Domain of Origin.
Deep golden patterns, indicative of the Cosmic Order it governed, emerged on the smooth surface of the Gold Mountain, which was a concentration of intense golden energy.
This Gold Mountain, representing the Golden Spirit, was now situated within Loong Jie's dragon heart, refining all of Loong Jie through this very heart.
Loong Jie, having suddenly gained an immense divine strength and freed from the Golden Spirit's Way of Heaven's suppression, immediately discerned the strategy to counter the Golden Spirit.
He repeatedly collided with the Gold Mountain.
After several attempts, he discerned a concealed ultimate truth on the Gold Mountain's surface, revealing the arcane needed to penetrate its depths.
Whoosh!
The miniature golden dragon, refined from soul blood essence, traced the secret glyphs exposed on the Gold Mountain's facade, reaching its core to engage in a fierce battle with the Golden Spirit.
Ballo from the Starborn, Canli overtaken by the Moonborn Spirit, and Green Willow possessed by the Waterborn Spirit.
Each of them was revived by Yu Yuan's Soul Altar and were immediately endowed with divine power!
